The Safari (2025)
Jaclyn Goldis
"Like a luxury safari, Jaclyn Goldis' enormously entertaining new novel takes readers on a thrilling ride through terrain as brutal as it is beautiful: an imperiled ecosystem of secrets, manipulation, and murder that will leave you breathless. With characters as richly realized as its sub-Saharan setting, THE SAFARI is a transporting page-turner with surprises around every corner. I couldn't put it down."

When the Wolf Comes Home (2025)
Nat Cassidy
"When the Wolf Comes Home is a wolf-headed chimera of a novel about monstrous fathers, the power of imagination, and the brutal chaos of creating-the terrors we ignite into being, intentionally and unwittingly, as parents, as children, as tender souls bound together by the pain and violence we can't stop inflicting on each other. This full-tilt, wildly imaginative creature feature moves like a four-legged beast hungry for revenge-it will rip your throat out and devour your heart. Nat Cassidy fans will be left howling for more."

Nowhere (2025)
Allison Gunn
"A chilling crime thriller steeped in blood and superstition. From murderous spirits to the terrors of a relationship at breaking point, Nowhere presents a nightmarish vision of small-town America where horrors supernatural, social, and marital collide. Parents will hold their children closer after reading this sinister and sharply drawn debut."
