Molka (2026)
Monika Kim
"Violent, shocking, and utterly transfixing, Monika Kim returns with a skin-crawling and layered novel examining voyeurism, grief, misogyny, and female rage. Every bit as gruesome and captivating as her debut, Molka is a must read for horror fans who love seeing female revenge served searing and bloody."

Boring Asian Female (2026)
Canwen Xu
"A magnificent and deeply entertaining debut, Boring Asian Female is an incisive and thrilling story that so many will relate to. Canwen Xu pulls no punches in writing a hilariously unhinged protagonist where actions spiral beyond control and stereotypes are subverted in the most refreshing and unapologetic way. A must read!"
