We’re excited to share with you our Spring 2024 list! Everyone loves an amateur sleuth, and readers hoping to tag along with the next unsuspecting detective will delight as BONE PENDANT GIRLS and CALYPSO DOWN find them searching for clues from the rural heartland to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. Strong female protagonists—and villains—remain popular, and readers are sure to cheer and jeer for the leading women of HIDDEN ROOMS, GRAND TOUR: THE BRASS QUEEN II, and SANCTUARY. LGBT+ stories where all kinds of readers can see themselves represented front-and-center on the page, such as ANGOLIN, have never been more important, while readers clamoring for social commentary will applaud as SPACE HOLES: FIRST TRANSMISSION takes aim at intergalactic corporate greed.

Younger readers are always looking for the next enchanting high fantasy, and WITHOUT A SHADOW and THE STRICKEN, where desert kingdoms and parallel worlds abound, will be sure to sweep them to immersive, magical universes. True crime also remains popular among young readers, and KILL CALLl, a (fictional) paranormal thriller set in a not-so-sleepy Oklahoman town, is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
