We Burned So Bright
by TJ Klune
TJ Klune's We Burned So Bright is science fiction reduced to one merciless idea: a black hole is eating the sky, and Earth has a month left. The literary fiction road trip that follows, an elderly gay couple driving from Maine to Washington to settle old business, is nothing like the gentle comfort of Klune's cozier books.
The House in the Cerulean Sea
by TJ Klune
TJ Klune's The House in the Cerulean Sea sends a rule-following government caseworker to an island orphanage housing six magical children, one of them the son of the Devil, and turns the inspection into a long argument for hope. A contemporary fantasy about found family, second chances, and how much of a life a person can hand over to a job.
