Albatross By Grace Anne Lowry
(Interrobang Reading)
Tabby Coverdale is afraid of drowning.
Only—she can’t quite remember why.
Time and place get muddled out in the North Sea, where she’s found herself begrudgingly
stuck on a trawling expedition with her uncle’s crew.
When a storm hits the trawler, breaking the engine and causing it to drift into unknown
waters, a member of the crew disappears in the middle of the night, leaving only a dead albatross
behind. There is no greater curse than that which follows a dead albatross, and for the crew of the
Trawler, their bad luck has only begun.
As more strange events follow the disappearance, suspicion comes up against superstition
—those on the crew who believe a greater force is at work, and those who believe someone is
using folktales to cover up foul play.
As Tabby’s memories stalk her through the present day, the clearer it becomes that the key
to discovering the truth about what’s happening on the Trawler is hidden somewhere in Tabby’s
past. The only question is, how many more bodies will drop before the truth comes to light?

Do You Hate Me By Lila Engelhardt
Friends circle back after months and years apart just to do the same thing they did when they were sixteen; drive around town. Following Lindsay and Andy's friendship throughout their lives, there are bumps in the road but also freshly paved gravel, all the salty fries and sweet sweet milkshakes. In this work in progress (teehee) it focuses on their relationship in high school, this world is still expanding but the teenage angst is palpable.

I'm Worried About Dolly Parton
By Madison Wray
A bleak meditation on aging and death (and a blistering critique of the unfair treatment of middle-aged women) and also a waggish, fizzy, coming-of-age story that centers on Judith, a beleaguered housewife, her teenage daughter Cassie, and Cassie's best friend Jill. The three women navigate sex, death, and sadness, whilst "buccal fat removal" looms, tempts and taunts (because doesn't it always? Loom?)...

Painless Regression
By Grace Everett
An innovative new clinical trial aims to treat chronic pain by allowing patients to relive memories from before they got sick. As these patients release the burden of pain for the first time in years, they learn that a pain-free existence comes at the cost of their most important memories. Is a life without pain worth forgetting who you are?
