Jessie Ren Marshall
Jessie Ren Marshall's debut story collection, Women! In! Peril! was an Indie Next book for April 2024, an Indies Introduce selection, and a SIBA "Read This Next" pick. Her writing has appeared in places like The New York Times, Joyland, New England Review, and Electric Lit. She lives off-grid on Hawai‘i Island.
In Mystery Lights, Lena Valencia’s debut short story collection about women facing danger in the American Southwest, the Brooklyn-based writer blends literary fiction with supernatural elements. The book is delightful—menacing, smart, cozy-creepy, both strange and familiar—and it provides a vexing reflection of modern society.
