One of the most visceral, profane, and distinctive reading experiences of the 21st century, The Orange Eats Creeps was praised as "beautiful and deranged" by Bookforum, while Shelley Jackson said it is "like something you read on the underside of a freeway overpass in a fever dream. Visionary, pervy, unhinged. It will mess you up." A girl with drug-induced ESP and an eerie connection to Patty Reed (a young member of the Donner Party who credited her survival to her relationship with a hidden wooden doll), searches for her disappeared foster sister along "The Highway That Eats People," stalked by a conflation of Twin Peaks' "Bob" and the Green River Killer, known as Dactyl. Named a best book of the year by NPR and a finalist for The Believer Book Award, The Orange Eats Creeps also earned Krilanovich a "5 Under 35" distinction from the National Book Foundation.
The Gloaming
* New York Times Book Review Notable Book of 2016. * The Guardian's "Not the Booker Prize" Shortlist. * Publishers Weekly's 'Big Indie Books of Fall 2016' * 2017 Vermont Book Award finalist. "Deeply satisfying. Finn is a remarkably confident and supple storyteller. [The Gloaming] deserves major attention." —John Williams, New York Times In rich, compelling prose, Melanie Finn perfectly captures a world of consequences, and the characters who must survive them. Pilgrim Jones' husband has just left her for another woman, stranding her in a small Swiss town where she is one day involved in a tragic car accident that leaves 3 school-children dead. Cleared of responsibility though overcome with guilt, she alights for Africa, where she befriends a series of locals each with their own tragic past, each isolated in their own private way in the remote Tanzanian outpost. Mysteriously, the remains of an albino African appear packaged in a box, spooking everyone—sign of a curse placed by a witch doctor—though its intended recipient is uncertain. Pilgrim volunteers to rid the town of the box and its contents, though wherever she goes, she can't shake the feeling that she's being followed. The Gloaming is a thrilling, haunting new work of guilt, atonement, and finally, hope.
