This rollicking true-crime tale about the invention and near-immediate corruption of the polygraph machine is so good—fast-paced and elegant and fun—I simply had to include it on my year-end list.

Anyone with low tolerance for the gross and gory should avoid Cursed Bunny at all costs. But if you want a spooky set of stories that will crawl under your skin and burrow into your marrow and stay there forever, Chung’s collection is a freaky, unforgettable outing.

There’s nothing supernatural afoot in Aesthetica, but when Anna slurs “I’m a star” while high on Percocet, staring at her phone, proud of her own worst impulses, it’s as terrifying as any tale of a woman in thrall to wicked powers.

It may sound like a Philip K. Dick pastiche, but Musgrave’s debut is more ambitious than the tropes it borrows, arranging them into original, arresting literary sci-fi.

Counterweight reads like a Thomas Pynchon novel, if Thomas Pynchon got bonked on the head and locked in a room with nothing to entertain him but K-dramas for a decade.

As the title suggests, A Brief History of Living Forever is not a long book, but it’s shaggy in an appealing way: My favorite part is an extended flashback to Adela’s days as a gonzo no-budget filmmaker in Reagan-era Florida. I didn’t want it to end.

This book is a horror story so potent it will fill even the most diligent parent with an itchy impulse to panic-clean, straighten up, and act like someone’s watching. It’s inventive, gripping, and wholly devastating.

I got to talk to a lot of great people for this story, including Philippe Parola, a French chef who lives in Baton Rouge and just wrote a cookbook called "Can't Beat 'Em, Eat 'Em"
