The Night of the Storm
By Nishita Parekh
It’s hard to pull off “a dark and stormy night,” but this debut nails it.
Fagin the Thief: A Novel
By Allison Epstein
A Dickens villain gets an identity beyond “the Jew.”
Mutual Interest: A Novel
By Olivia Wolfgang-Smith
An apparent story of manners digs much deeper, hitting philosophical bedrock.
The Waters
By Bonnie Jo Campbell
A magical, overly earnest tale set in a Michigan swamp.
Cupid on the Loose
By John J. Jacobson
A stolid, oddly prim tale of frustrated romance.
Alternative Facts: Stories
By Emily Greenberg
These fictive renderings of real-life events aim for higher truths.
At Dark, I Become Loathsome
By Eric LaRocca
This creepy, frustrating tale leaves too many questions unanswered.
The Curse of Pietro Houdini
By Derek B. Miller
Needlessly murky plot points mar this otherwise clever art-heist tale.
