Reviewer Jason Heller had this to say about the coming-of-age story: “Immensely enjoyable, piercingly clever, and satisfyingly soulful, THE SATURDAY NIGHT GHOST CLUB is an exquisite little talisman of a book, one that doesn't flinch as it probes the dark underside of nostalgia.” Penguin Books published the book on July 9, 2019.

In a glowing review of IN WEST MILLS, The New York Times Book Review writes: “From the first page, Winslow establishes an uncanny authority and profound tone that belie the book’s debut status… He paints a community so tightknit and thorough it becomes easy to forget the people in it don’t exist, that no one will be playing music later tonight at Miss Goldie’s barnhouse juke joint, or traveling upbridge to Manning’s General Store for candy. Knot is as complex and endearing a protagonist as Zora Neale Hurston’s Janie.” Bloomsbury published the book on June 4, 2019.

David McCullough’s THE PIONEERS debuts at #1 on the New York Times Bestseller Hardcover Nonfiction List on Sunday, May 26, 2019. In addition, McCullough was interviewed by the Wall Street Journal which says, “[McCullough] has chosen to shine a lantern into the underappreciated corners of American history....'The Pioneers' is the account not just of one Ohio settlement but of myriad such places across America, where innumerable immigrants (as the settlers were known) came to make a fresh start in a strange land. It is a story as resonant today as ever." The book also received rave reviews in Publisher’s Weekly, which says “Popular historian McCullough uses his well-crafted writing style and thorough research to highlight the evolution of the ‘Ohio territory’... The swiftly moving narrative also shines light on the territory’s consistent antislavery position beginning with the 1787 Northwest Territory Ordinance and leading to the first black vote in 1802…a fascinating and well-written look at the Cutler families and the Americanizing of Ohio” and the Missourian which says "'The Pioneers' is an engaging, educational read about a key, but often overlooked, time in America’s history." Simon & Schuster published the book on May 7, 2019.

An essay on the legacy of the works of Thomas Harris and his creation Hannibal Lector was published in the Washington Post by Bill Sheehan. The piece says "The best of Harris's work, and this includes his latest, long-awaited novel, CARI MORA, has just that feeling of absolute, unquestionable reality. Through a combination of elements--a perfectly realized authorial voice, the steady accumulation of terrible details, an empathetic vision of lost and damaged souls--Harris has created a sense of dreadful intimacy that we cannot escape, that forces us to gaze at unthinkable things, and never look away. No one has illuminated this kind of darkness more thoroughly or effectively than Harris. It seems unlikely that anyone ever will." The book was also reviewed in the Wall Street Journal which writes "A less accomplished or ambitious writer might have crafted a worthy thriller with only one or two of the story strands that Mr. Harris weaves; but the several plot elements in CARI MORA are always in fine balance, as befits the work of a unique master still at the top of his strange and chilling form." Grand Central Publishing published the book on May 21, 2019.

Simon & Schuster published the book on May 7, 2019.
