Night Hag by Amy Baskin
Lilith was the first woman. Adam was her husband before Eve was fashioned into his wife. Lilith knew herself to be Adam's equal and refused his demands of submission. She has been cast as a demon who left Adam for a new lover, the fallen angel Samael. "Night Hag," one of Lilith's many epithets, has been ostracized as a thief in the night, a baby stealer, a demon of abortion, a sex glutton-- a woman guilty of the crime of choosing when and if she becomes a mother. NIGHT HAG speaks of femininity through the eternal voice of Lilith, the first woman. NIGHT HAG is an exploration of yin strength and autonomy of body, heart, and mind. NIGHT HAG invites readers to consider the distinctions between selfishness and self-care.
Mouth by Kerry Donoghue
In MOUTH, Kerry Donoghue’s provocative debut, the ways we consume—from the drinks we can't put down to the lovers we can’t resist—reveal deeper hungers we often keep hidden. A competitive eater, a rodeo clown, a pearl diver, and a mermaid-in-training are just a few of the outsiders in this collection, each grappling with their own consuming desires. Whether through alcohol, infidelity, or chasing perfection, these characters are forced to confront what they’re truly starving for—and who they become when they can't fill that void. MOUTH asks: when our appetites define us, how do we survive the hunger?

Can they make it through the year of the urn?
