Paula Bomer: ‘If you describe yourself as a victim, you’re dismissed’ Having made waves as part of the alt-lit movement, the US author is poised to go mainstream with The Stalker, her most exhilarating work yet

I like the idea of Paula Bomer “[breaking] through to a mainstream audience.” She’s a terrific writer. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/j...

“A knockout novel . . . Exhilaratingly ghastly.” —The Guardian

Read the full profile and review of Paula Bomer and her new novel THE STALKER by award-winning author Megan Nolan for @theguardian.com now. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/j...

“HISTORY LESSONS brilliantly mixes pointed satire, fabulous characters (especially Daphne’s two besties) and a thoughtful meditation on whose fortunes get to rise, and whose are ground down on the altar of power.” —The New York Times Book Review

Because He Can: Paula Bomer on Capturing Entitlement and the Banality of Sociopathy “To be like the rock that the waves keep crashing over. It stands unmoved and the raging of the sea falls still around it.” –Marcus Aurelius When I first started writing The Stalker, I didn’t know …

In her new novel, 'Stalker,' Paula Bomer writes about an "untalented Mr. Ripley." crimereads.com/paula-bomer-...

Am I living tote life? Yes. Am I a sucker for shwag? Yes. Do I love every book that I’ve read from Soho Press’s horror imprint Hell’s Hundred? Yes, yes, yes. This may be the best tote bag yet. I’m carrying it with me wherever I go from now on. Thanks Nick and Hell’s Hundred! @sohopress.bsky.social

Very much loving the blood spatter effect on the edges of the paperback edition of Stuart Neville’s BLOOD LIKE MINE (from @sohopress.bsky.social)

SUMMERHOUSE by Yiğit Karaahmet (translated by Nicholas Glastonbury) is out today from @sohopress.bsky.social. Read a galley a few months back and tore through it. Highsmith meets THE BIRDCAGE is the comp on the jacket, and that’s accurate as hell. Dark, funny, wild. Can’t recommend it enough.

The above quote and information written in charcoal and white against a mosaic of charcoal and light blue boxes separated by white lines. In the upper lefthand corner is the book cover for A/S/L.

“A spell, game code, a novel. Call it what you will. A/S/L offers creative pathways to radical change.”

@erinvachon.bsky.social reviews @jeannethornton.bsky.social’s A/S/L (@sohopress.bsky.social).

“Three Initiates”: On Jeanne Thornton’s A/S/L - The Rumpus When Thornton’s characters’ lives on and off screen drastically diverge, A/S/L not only satisfies nostalgia, but catapults the narrative to a whole new level.

On tour someone who came to one of the readings told me thank you for writing the character Sash, that she had talked to her therapist about the book, that it had helped. That plus this incredible review may have been all I needed from the publication of this book <3 therumpus.net/2025/05/13/t...

Now in paperback: ASH DARK AS NIGHT by Gary Phillips 📸🔎

In the follow-up to ONE-SHOT HARRY, fearless crime photographer and occasional private eye Harry Ingram finds himself in the LAPD’s crosshairs after capturing damning evidence of police brutality.
