Goodbye Everybody by Benjamin Lewis

As the entire world population begins to suddenly vanish into thin air one by one, a reclusive biracial man in his late 20s decides to finally come out of his shell to party and bond like there’s no tomorrow, before he possibly disappears forever.

Ibu (Mother) by Friakanya Iwana

The death of the patriarch reunites four complicated, estranged women who must pick up the pieces on the already shattered floor.

Rosebud by Kayla Hardy

When an ex-confederate soldier and runaway slave woman are forced to head west to try their luck as settlers, they must contend with the wild dangers of the frontier: racists, prowling wolves, and their own broken pasts while trying to grow the scarcest crop of them all on their new land—their forbidden love.

Thaw by Alex Bush

While isolated on a remote farm for the winter, two friends begin to switch genders.
