Looking for new ( published in last 2-3 years ) short fictions. Like within 250 pages. Not longer than that. Please don’t recommend short stories!
I’m a fan of Claire Keegan!
Last short book I enjoyed – whale fall by Elizabeth O’Connor ( historical fiction – coming of age)
I love literary fiction, historical fiction, horror, sf, lgbtq topics, books that can navigate taboo / controversial topics well like sharp objects / the brothers bishop etc.
