Melissa Faliveno’s acclaimed debut novel, HEMLOCK, was the Harper’s Bazaar Book Chat pick for January. Harper’s published an excerpt of the lively conversation on the magazine’s all-staff Slack channel discussing the book. Entertaining comments include: “I’m a sucker for an unreliable narrator. I like my protagonists messy” and “The doe sent me. Just chewing and judging.” Little, Brown published HEMLOCK on January 20, 2026.
