Another Name for Red (2026)
Amber Blaeser-Wardzala
"Another Name for Red is the haunting story of a family, nearly broken in the aftermath of a daughter's disappearance. Blaeser-Wardzala writes with fierce intelligence about desire and obsession, survival and surrender, alienation and - through absence and grief - the possibility of repair. A remarkable story of home and heartbreak, Another Name for Red is as tender in its love for its characters as it is unsparing in its portrayal of the forces that fail them."

Night Objects (2026)
Eli Raphael
"Night Objects is brilliant, searing, and astonishing. It is at once a gripping mystery, a moving coming-of-age story, and a surprising love letter to our mothers, our selves, and the universe. With breathtaking language and an ending I will never forget. Eli Raphael will break your heart."

I Am Agatha (2026)
Nancy Foley
"I Am Agatha stands alone. Agatha, a renowned painter with a sharp eye, is a prickly older woman in a small New Mexico town who bends everything and everyone around her to rich, surprising, and dark extremes. Her story is one of a gloves-off becoming, even in the latter end of life - one that honors difficult women and art monsters, queer people and elders - in a single, unforgettable, and unexpected new voice. I laughed, I gasped, I felt punched in the gut. Foley has gifted us all her careful attention and remarkable talent to show us what comes after love, in a courageous and true exploration of the heart. She is a brilliant and powerful writer, and I Am Agatha is extraordinary."
