Zone One
Colson Whitehead
★★★★★· Published 2011· 338 pages· read 2023
A literary zombie novel set in a half-cleared Manhattan. Whitehead's prose is the real draw here. Bleak and brilliant.

The Underground Railroad
Colson Whitehead
Whitehead reimagines the Underground Railroad as a literal railroad beneath the ground. A brutal, inventive novel that earns every bit of its acclaim.
The End of Men
Christina Sweeney-Baird
A pandemic that kills only men reshapes the world. Eerily prescient and hard to put down.
★ 5The Other Valley
Scott Alexander Howard
A town bordered by the same valley twenty years in the past and twenty years ahead, and a girl who has to guard the line. Haunting premise, beautifully done.
