Nick Kolakowski recommends
thumb
Man, F*ck This House (And Other Disasters) (2025)
Brian Asman
"Frenetic pacing, hilarious comedy, and inventive dialogue...[Asman] unleashes some suspense-building tricks worthy of King or Barker."
thumb
The County Line (2024)
Steve Weddle
"It's like Faulkner had a love child with a couple of Elmore Leonard's 1930s-set novels."
thumb
Full Immersion (2022)
Gemma Amor
"With Full Immersion, Gemma Amor offers you an incredible journey into the dangers and possibilities of the human mind. It's shocking and unnerving and heartbreaking and, ultimately, hopeful in a way that makes you want to jump for joy. It will reawaken you to the possibilities - and depths - of our souls."
