Spotlight

The final cover of august clarke's Metal from Heaven

“Clarke delivers a masterful and tragic exploration of the intersections of violence, faith, sexuality, and power . . . Lyrical prose, meticulous worldbuilding, and steamy lesbian sex scenes make this a surefire hit.” —Publishers Weekly ★

For fans of The Princess Bride and Gideon the Ninth a bloody lesbian revenge tale and political fantasy set in a glittering world transformed by industrial change - and simmering class warfare.

“Metal from Heaven is a work of feral and furious imagination. It's pulpy, bloody, sexy, gleefully seditious and seditiously gleeful. It's a battle cry of a book; read it, and rise up.” —Alix E. Harrow, Hugo Award winner and New York Timesbestselling author of Reese's Book Club Pick Starling House

“An ambitious, ferocious, sex driven fever dream. Clarke’s prose is ornate, enveloping, radiant.” —Megan Whalen Turner, New York Times Best Selling Author, Thick As Thieves

Cover the eyes are the best part by Monika Kim

"Violent, smart, gruesome and wildly original, this novel pulls readers into a horrific world of murder and cannibalism while also critiquing misogyny, exploring Asian fetishization and stereotypes, sharing what it's like to navigate two cultures." —New York Times Book Review

"A book that does more than grab hold; this debut will impale you. An obsessive, undefinable wonder, Monika Kim shows that you only taste what you're willing to take. Suspenseful horror that is love at first sight." —Hailey Piper, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Queen of Teeth

"A deliciously disturbing dive into a mind warped by pain, anger, and a most unusual craving." —Johnny Compton, author of The Spite House

cover for north is the night by Emily path

"Rich, vivid, and brimming with emotion, North Is the Night pays touching homage to Finnish culture and mythology while forging a unique path all its own. . . . [W]eep and cheer for Siiri and Aina as they find their strength and claim their power." —Vaishnavi Patel, New York Times bestselling author of Kaikeyi

"A fearless novel that probes ideas of surveillance, misogyny and class. . . . Tsamaase brilliantly tackles ideas of motherhood and autonomy. The author seamlessly blends a body-hopping ghost story about revenge with a narrative about the importance of memory. It's such an original first novel, and I'll be reading whatever comes next." —New York Times Book Review

This genre-bending Africanfuturist horror novel blends The Handmaid's Tale with Get Out in an adrenaline-packed, cyberpunk body-hopping ghost story exploring motherhood, memory, and a woman's right to her own body.

"Womb City pulsates with this gender-expansive feminist rage, propelling a narrative at breakneck speed--sometimes literally, for the characters--that leaves no one exempt from misogyny's horrifying control." —Los Angeles Review of Books
