Never change, Barbara 🩵 All quotes are from ’s MEETING NEW PEOPLE, “a novel to savor and recommend” ( ⭐️)

The queen of Latin American horror has spoken 👑🖤

HarperVia is bringing you back-to-back translated Latin American horror from August through October! We’re proud to share three novels that has a mix of everything for horror fans: ghost stories, the final girl trope, and brutal sacrifices. Swipe to see Mariana Enríquez’s thoughts on each of these award-winning novels:

💛 Last Day of a Prior Life by Andrés Barba
💜 To Bewitch a Hunter by Luciano Lamberti
❤️ What the Forest Devours by Elaine Vilar Madruga

We have so much in common with because both of us think that Aruni Kashyap’s HOW TO DATE A FANATIC (pictured here in the hands of editor !) is a must-read for Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
 
“But HarperVia!” you might say. “It’s not out until July!” TRUE, but right now it is open to read over on for the first 20 people to download it, and we’ve also got a giveaway running over on for early ~finished~ copies. Links in our bio 🔗

Daniel Lavery’s sparkling MEETING NEW PEOPLE is on sale today 🤝🩵 Swipe to see its magnificent front matter (publishing-speak for the first few pages in a book, before the actual story starts), including a snapshot of Barbara’s Rolodex of ex-best friends (latest casualty: Susan Montgomery) and two pitch-perfect epigraphs, followed by an excellent opening and some early praise. And don’t forget that the audiobook is narrated by THE Marcia Gay Harden ()!

Our inimitable and visionary founder, president, and publisher, Judith Curr—pictured here with the very first three books HarperVia published, and the most recent, including three Nomad Editions—retired last week. We sat down with her one last time to talk about the founding of HarperVia, 7 years ago, and what she’s doing next 🖤🦢

Huge news!!! The audiobook for Daniel Lavery’s new novel MEETING NEW PEOPLE (coming June 2!) is narrated by none other than the inimitable, Academy Award and Tony Award-winning actor Marcia Gay Harden (), author of the acclaimed memoir THE SEASONS OF MY MOTHER, whose performance as the curmudgeonly, fifty-something, in-need-of-a-new-best-friend Barbara is so good you’ll want to listen to the book all over again once you’ve reached the last chapter 🎧

Available for preorder now.
