Life has thrown Zelu some curveballs over the years, but when she's suddenly dropped from her university job and her latest novel is rejected, all in the middle of her sister's wedding, her life is upended. Disabled, unemployed and from a nosy, high-achieving, judgmental family, she's not sure what comes next. In her hotel room that night, she takes the risk that will define her life - she decides to write a book VERY unlike her others. A science fiction drama about androids and AI after the extinction of humanity. And everything changes. What follows is a tale of love and loss, fame and infamy, of extraordinary events in one world, and another. And as Zelu's life evolves, the lines between fiction and reality begin to blur. Because sometimes a story really does have the power to reshape the world.

This darkly funny and provocative novel reimagines classic fairy tale characters as modern women in a support group for trauma. In present-day New York City, five women meet in a basement support group to process their traumas. Bernice grapples with the fallout of dating a psychopathic, blue-bearded billionaire. Ruby, once devoured by a wolf, now wears him as a coat. Gretel questions her memory of being held captive in a house made of candy. Ashlee, the winner of a Bachelor-esque dating show, wonders if she really got her promised fairy tale ending. And Raina's love story will shock them all. Though the women start out wary of one another, judging each other’s stories, gradually they begin to realize that they may have more in common than they supposed . . . What really brought them here? What secrets will they reveal? And is it too late for them to rescue each other? Dark, edgy, and wickedly funny, this debut for readers of Carmen Maria Machado, Kristen Arnett, and Kelly Link takes our coziest, most beloved childhood stories, exposes them as anti-feminist nightmares, and transforms them into a new kind of myth for grown-up women.

A haunting Southern Gothic from an award-winning master of suspense, A House With Good Bones explores the dark, twisted roots lurking just beneath the veneer of a perfect home and family. "Mom seems off." Her brother's words echo in Sam Montgomery's ear as she turns onto the quiet North Carolina street where their mother lives alone. She brushes the thought away as she climbs the front steps. Sam's excited for this rare extended visit, and looking forward to nights with just the two of them, drinking boxed wine, watching murder mystery shows, and guessing who the killer is long before the characters figure it out. But stepping inside, she quickly realizes home isn’t what it used to be. Gone is the warm, cluttered charm her mom is known for; now the walls are painted a sterile white. Her mom jumps at the smallest noises and looks over her shoulder even when she’s the only person in the room. And when Sam steps out back to clear her head, she finds a jar of teeth hidden beneath the magazine-worthy rose bushes, and vultures are circling the garden from above. To find out what’s got her mom so frightened in her own home, Sam will go digging for the truth. But some secrets are better left buried.

“Las mujeres podemos ser muy horribles, plebe” Para sobrevivir en los rincones más injustos del patriarcado, las mujeres deben ser despiadadas, como asesinas a sueldo. La astucia, la fuerza colectiva, la violencia y las armas siempre están sobre la mesa en tiempos en los que todo vale. En el universo novelesco que trama este magistral libro de cuentos, las situaciones límite y el machismo encarnado en novios, narcos o ladrones de casas se convierten en el combustible de una galería de heroínas. Lejos de vislumbrar un reajuste de desigualdades, Perras de reserva, obra ganadora del Premio Nacional de Cuento Joven Comala 2019, de Dahlia de la Cerda, actúa como un manual narrativo para arrebatar el poder y ejercerlo. Dahlia de la Cerda (Aguascalientes, 1985) es narradora, activista y filósofa. En 2009 fue ganadora del certamen literario Letras de la Memoria, del Centro Cultural Los Arquitos. Ha sido becaria del Programa de Estímulo a la Creación y Desarrollo Artístico, en la emisión 2015, y del Programa Jóvenes Creadores Fonca, en las emisiones 2016 y 2018. Es codirectora en la organización feminista Morras Help Morras.
