Southern inheritances are always dark—whether it’s a penchant for pills, a blood-soaked family farm, or an ancient magic. Sierra wants to break the generational curses, but when an otherworldly illness threatens her family, she must choose which monsters to slay and which to become. Growing up on a farm in the foothills, Sierra learned from her granny’s folk magic and her dad’s addiction that healing comes at a price. By now she’s used to the opioids that were meant to help her dad leading to distance and disappearances instead, but after he misses her graduation, she’s sure there’s something else going on. After tracking her dad’s last-known location to the local methadone clinic, Sierra meets Blight, an intoxicating and infuriating intern who offers her the chance to work with them on the clinic’s harm reduction program and gain access to information about what happened to her Dad. As Sierra and Blight explore their relationship and the opioid-riddled underworld of the Blue Ridge, they find a disease creeping through users’ veins like kudzu—and it looks a lot more like Granny’s magic than any mortal infection. But in order for Sierra to uncover her family’s true history and heal the cycles of addiction and abuse, she must embrace and inhabit the same dark magic that started it all. This queer Appalachian horror examines the monstrous consequences of generational trauma alongside the backwoods magic of methadone, motorcycles, and Mothman.

The Devil Wears Prada meets The Exorcist in this wickedly chic horror novel about the cost of wishing you were someone else. Ilona Darke has always felt like a ghost in her own life. She’s overlooked at work, can’t find love, and is haunted by the sense that she was meant for something more. Until she discovers Le Fays, a mysterious SoHo atelier, where she finds a stunning suit that fits her like a glove. When Ilona begins wearing the second-hand garment, a new, more confident voice begins to replace her lifelong internal bully. Ilona stands a little taller. Speaks a little sharper. Wants more than the life she’s accepted. And the new, persuasive voice in her head feels less like a threat than a gift. But every gift comes with a price. As the Manhattanhenge solstice approaches, Ilona begins to lose track of time. She’s been waking up with unexplained bruises and pulling threads from her skin; she’s starting to wonder whether the suit is actually helping her become her best self or if it wants something more… Darkly glamorous and viciously funny, She’s All the Rage is a tailor-made nightmare about identity, ambition, and the horror of getting exactly what you wished for.

“Who do you think you are?

Enemies-to-lovers? Don’t mind if I do. Everything in Eve Lockwood’s life is grey—and not in a fun, morally ambiguous kind of way. No matter how much soggy takeout she orders or how many Friends reruns she binges, the only place she can truly escape is between the pages of her beloved romantasy novels. So, when an advertisement for a romantasy-lovers retreat crosses her path, Eve jumps at the chance to play out her favorite bookish fantasies with likeminded readers. What could go wrong? Quite a lot, as it turns out. Namely, that while doing a retreat activity in the middle of the woods, she somehow trips and falls through a portal into a real-life fantasy world—and straight into the arms of a (ridiculously attractive) grumpy, woodland fae prince. Just her luck, honestly. At first, Eve is convinced it’s all part of the retreat, until she survives a monster attack, unlocks forgotten magic that apparently makes her The Chosen One™, and is shipped off on a quest to break an ancient curse all before lunchtime. Wonderful. Unsurprisingly, it doesn’t take long for her quest to go off the rails, and Eve soon finds this storyline isn’t as perfect as her novels. With her newfound magic wildly out of control, her enemies-to-lovers arc with the prince staying firmly in the enemies stage, and a hot mysterious, shadowy figure lurking in her dreams, the curse seems more likely to break Eve than the other way around. Armed with only her knowledge of book tropes and a misguided belief that the main character can’t die, Eve must rise to become The Chosen One she was (probably not) destined to be, save the world, and get home . . . if she even wants to?

As Mellyd and Nian work together to translate the book’s mysterious spells, an attraction starts to grow between them.
