Excerpts

Monstrous Souls

Rebecca Kelly

"It’s the sort of day that you dream of: a blue sky, a hot fist of sun and the sound of bees in clover, yet the air vibrates with unnatural tension."


You Can Go Home Now

Michael Elias

"From my bedroom window, I had a view of the woods behind our house, a Catskill forest speckled with tall red black spruce, thick balsam fir, and slender mountain ash."


What’s Left of Me Is Yours

Stephanie Scott

"My mother was a photographer, before she became a wife."


Safe

S.K. Barnett

"Mom was at her real estate office and Dad was in the city being an executive producer."


“Night Poaching”

Ha Seong-nan

"The detective in charge of the investigation had turned over every last detail to me, so the town coming into view through the bus windshield didn’t seem all that unfamiliar."


This Little Family

Inès Bayard

"The shrill bell on the intercom rings through the apartment."


Vera Kelly is Not a Mystery

Rosalie Knecht

"The morning after Jane left me, I woke in a Russian diner that overlooked the boardwalk at Brighton Beach, sitting upright in the corner of a booth."


The Guest List

Lucy Foley

"Things are about to crank into another gear: there’s the rehearsal dinner this evening, with the chosen guests, so the wedding really begins tonight."


Bitter Pill

Peter Church

"Usually, Julian Lynch played golf on a Thursday."


“Little Spells”

Sam Weller

"Literary tourists have an unprecedented opportunity to vacation in one of the most infamous locations in book publishing history!"
