Jeff VanderMeer recommends
Trujillo (2004)
Lucius Shepard
"Lucius Shepard has been among the most respected and unclassifiable of American fiction writers. His prodigious output... may be unmatched for its sheer range and quality."
Trial of Flowers (2006)
(City Imperishable, book 1)
Jay Lake
"Modern decadence with an intent both sinister and sublime, Trial of Flowers is a strange and often beautiful novel. Jay Lake continues to expand the limits of his idiosyncratic talent."
The Reef (2008)
Mark Charan Newton
"A promising new writer whose prose is dynamic and whose imagination is often startling."
God's War (2011)
(Bel Dame Apocrypha, book 1)
Kameron Hurley
"Kameron Hurley's a brave, unflinching, truly original writer with a unique vision - her fiction burns right through your brain and your heart."
Starve Better (2011)
Nick Mamatas
"Mamatas offers up a no-nonsense guide that should be required reading for all writers. Prepare to have some illusions shattered, because you need them shattered."
Sterling City (2013)
Stephen Graham Jones
"Sterling City is mesmerizing, horrifying, strange, and you can’t put it down. It has a kind of stark poetry in the concision and clarity of its prose. Another great example of why you should be reading Stephen Graham Jones."
The Warren (2016)
Brian Evenson
"A creepy, mind-bending quest of identity and mystery, told with a master's skill. No one explores inner Landscapes quite like Brian Evenson."
The Complete Stories of Leonora Carrington (2017)
Leonora Carrington
"This definitive collection of Carrington's fiction is a treasure and a gift to the world. A stunning achievement."
Amatka (2017)
Karin Tidbeck
"Karin Tidbeck’s Amatka is a stunning, truly original exploration of the mysteries of reality and what it means to be human. It’s brutally honest and uncompromising in its vision - a brilliant short story writer has been revealed as an even more brilliant novelist. One of my favorite reads of the past few years, an instant classic."
The Five Daughters of the Moon (2017)
(Waning Moon Duology, book 1)
Leena Likitalo
"By turns rambunctious, lively, strange, and at times melancholy in the best ways, Leena Likitalo's wonderful novel marks the debut of a major new talent."
Everything Under (2018)
Daisy Johnson
"A stunning debut novel. [B]lending a deep understanding of character and storytelling examination … the result reminds me of Iris Murdoch. … Johnson’s affinity for the natural world is extraordinary."
Missing Signal (2018)
Seb Doubinsky
"Seb Doubinsky is a great writer, both rambunctious and subtle, who can do anything...Read his work."
The Bus on Thursday (2018)
Shirley Barrett
"Bursting with raucous energy, while anchored in seriousness, The Bus on Thursday is an intoxicating horror-humor romp."
The Study of Animal Languages (2019)
Lindsay Stern
"A fascinating, original meditation on a human relationship and the non-human world from a very talented new writer. Quietly provocative."
