"Upon meeting, it’s difficult to imagine that Christopher Bollen could have penned so twisted a tale of death and depravity as his new novel, Orient. His easy demeanor, the lightness with which he dances between topics of conversation, his readiness to laugh, none of these qualities seem to mesh with a man whose mind is capable of creating a character (or characters, no spoilers here) who unleashes a series of gruesome murders on an idyllic and isolated Long Island town."

David Samuel Levinson, author of *Tell Me How This Ends Well*

"The dramatic circumstances surrounding Iceland’s independence seem to have been carefully conjured up to pay poetic tribute to the history of the island-nation, the land of Vikings and sagas, the sparsely-populated country that traverses the year first in perpetual darkness and then in unending light."

Christopher Bollen, author of *Orient*

“'Boys' is a word that, in its simplicity, is incapable of expressing our incalculable diversity. Yet, it is in that very simplicity that it is so appropriate – it reminds us that while we may have been born with different biologies or skin color, while we may have different body types and come from different cultures and family dynamics, there is something that unites us all."

Isaac Oliver, author of *Intimacy* *Idiot*

*Necessary Errors*, by Caleb Crain

LAMBDA LITERARY REVIEW

READ

"With a confident voice and clear message, Oakley blends giggle-inducing humor with serious discussions of his personal battles with issues like depression and eating disorders—an accurate reflection of the man himself, who uses fame realized through light-hearted commentary on pop culture and daily embarrassments to advocate for LGBT youth..."

Hasan Namir on *God In Pink*, his gay Muslim novel set in Iraq

LAMBDA LITERARY REVIEW

READ

"Walton’s novel has a frenetic sense about it. Pages of prose are interspersed with lines of poetry that seem to creep and retreat along the margins."
