Night Objects (2026)
Eli Raphael
"Eli Raphael's Night Objects is so many things at once - a thriller simmering with class tension, a lyrical account of grief and mourning, a sharp boarding-school satire. Above all, it's a breathtaking, ambitious debut that introduces a persuasive new voice in fiction."
thumb
The Hurricane Blonde (2023)
Halley Sutton
"The Hurricane Blonde is a vivid, chilling noir steeped in L.A. sunshine and Hollywood lore. Sutton gives us a backstage pass to a former child actor's investigation of her sister's death - revealing a world that is both ruthlessly cruel and dazzlingly irresistible."
thumb
Maddalena and the Dark (2023)
Julia Fine
"Maddalena and the Dark is the book of my dreams - a feverish, intimate story of obsession and ambition, set in Venice's shadowy canals and glittering palazzos, with an ending that still keeps me up at night. Fine's writing is magnetic and unstoppable. I can't stop talking to people about this book!"
