Walk the Darkness Down (2023)
Daniel Magariel
"Daniel Magariel's novel - an extraordinary pair of chamber pieces, one nautical, one terrestrial - is courageous and transfixing."
thumb
Filthy Animals (2021)
Brandon Taylor
"Superb work by a writer of extraordinary psychological insight."
thumb
Kings County (2020)
David Goodwillie
"Goodwillie pins his characters to the page with a lepidopterist’s merciless affection—and then, by some trick of resuscitation, lets them fly in a Brooklyn that’s a kind of darkly miraculous forest populated by charismatic and errant fauna. Kings County is a thrilling and persuasive read."
