Fantasy
Meddy has spent her whole life standing in someone else’s shadow—an island born to minor gods, overlooked, yearning for more. When the mighty goddess Athena chooses her as an acolyte, Meddy leaps at the chance to carve out her own destiny.With blood, betrayal, power, and rage coursing through her veins, Meddy becomes Medusa. And she’ll write her own story—not as a footnote in myth, but as the hero of her own legend.
Thriller
The Wax Child by Olga Ravn is a haunting, poetic exploration of fear, faith, and womanhood in seventeenth-century Denmark. Told through the eerie voice of a wax figure made by an accused witch, it drifts between history and hallucination, reality and myth. Ravn’s prose is darkly lyrical—every sentence feels steeped in candlelight and superstition.
This isn’t a fast read, but a slow, hypnotic one. It lingers like smoke, asking what survives when women are silenced and stories are burned.
Fiction
After forty years of marriage in a quiet Connecticut town, Eliot and Claire have raised their children, built a life together, and endured Claire’s long battle with cancer. Now, as the end draws near, Claire makes a startling request—one that forces Eliot to question everything he thought he knew about love, identity, and the life they’ve shared.
Tender, raw, and unforgettable, Some Bright Nowhere explores the profound gifts and unexpected costs of truly loving someone. How well do we know the person we promised forever to? And what do we owe them when forever is no longer guaranteed?
