Molly Odintz Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

Molly Odintz

The suspense comes from a very Bret Easton Ellis question: will his characters fall victim to a murderer, or simply destroy themselves? This novel was well worth the wait, and I’m sure will find itself stunningly adapted soon enough.

In this devastating debut… Latoya Watkins’ impassioned prose brings to life her complex characters and their heavy internal struggles, as well as the flawed, but overwhelming, love they feel for one another.

The story follows a cast of bored, drunken rich people at their elite summer club, where two interlopers have arrived for the weekend... After everyone sleeps with everyone else, some murders happen. So yeah, basically The Ice Storm as if written by Borges, then solved by Chandler.

Molly Odintz

This well-researched historical tale of medical experiments gone haywire looks to be a perfect match with Joyce Carol Oates’ visceral style and violent explorations of American sins... This is sure to be one of her best yet, and I don’t say that lightly.

I’m waiting to read this one until the next time I’m on a plane—the recycled air and potential for terrifying disaster really adds a certain je ne sais quoi to the experience…

Molly Odintz

Emotionally evocative and visually stunning, Projections is the kind of novel that makes you long for a high-budget adaptation.

Molly Odintz

What’s better than a psychological thriller about vampires? A psychological thriller about disco vampires!...Koller Craft is at her sly, sardonic best in this suspenseful tale of friendships gone sour.

Emma Rosenblum, author of last year’s fabulously scandalous Bad Summer People, has returned with an equally sordid and sardonic take on forced corporate fun, following a group of tech elites as their soused vacation, and house-of-cards company, quickly unravel.

Molly Odintz

Those We Drown gets bonus points for cheekiness—some of the villains are literally named the Sirens, and one of those keeps singing sea chanties. Delightfully campy and creepy!

Laura McHugh has been one of the major forces in bringing women’s stories into the rural noir genre, and Safe and Sound looks to be another well-plotted and furious examination of small-town misogyny.
