Brenda Peynado recommends
The Last Catastrophe (2023)
Allegra Hyde
"I've admired Allegra Hyde's stunning stories of near future and small apocalypses for years. This new collection is electrifying, filled with astonishing beauty and lyricism at the same time that it warns us of the horrors of what our futures could become and what America already is. Zookeepers, RV nomads, high school drama teachers who glow with light, body-switching beauties, zombies - the voices in this collection will keep you rapt, awestruck at what unfolds."
Atomic Family (2023)
Ciera Horton McElroy
"Ciera Horton McElroy is a magician of prose and psychology. Atomic Family is a Mrs. Dalloway updated for the nuclear age, an intense excavation of memory, trauma, and hope. Her characters, so deeply felt, will whisper to you at night long after you finish the book."
Walk the Vanished Earth (2022)
Erin Swan
"Erin Swan braids a strange and glorious vision that sweeps across arcs of time and galaxy without ever losing sight of the human heart. In this gorgeously written chronicle, the characters, earth, and new planets alike must wrangle their dreams born of tragedy, and transmute them into hope. This is like a Cormac McCarthy desert tale meets Margaret Atwood's attentiveness to the failures of capitalism and human desire, but with a startling clarity all her own. She offers us a survival beyond climate change that will buoy you up by the end, without ever flinching from horror."
