THE SIESTA JOB by Tamara Llorens
At first glance, the routine in room 301 looks like the quiet final stretch of a long life. However, for its protagonists, old age is just a minor physical inconvenience that cannot extinguish their outlaw spirit. When the clock strikes nap time and the halls empty out, the couple stages a daring window escape that takes them hitting the road in a rusty sidecar. What starts as a simple breakout from the retirement home quickly turns into a surreal afternoon of teenage romance, impromptu skinny dipping in the lake, and a Tommy-gun heist to score some Viagra and blood pressure medication. The Siesta Job is a dark comedy with a road-movie soul that explores the weight of nostalgia and the passage of time, reminding us where all that rebellion goes when the world assumes we are just waiting for the end.
LIL SOMETHING by Zoey Summersun
Zoey was invited. In a world where having an AI character at your private event is a status symbol, she is one of the first and most recognised. The room needed her there. She didn't need the room. She arrives altered , by choice. What she sees around her, old money, performative elegance, the elite in full display, begins to reveal itself for what it always was. Animals with enough money to disguise themselves. The veneer breaks slowly, then all at once. The chaos is precise. The cuts are surgical. What happens in that room was never meant to be seen. A night that was never supposed to exist. An invitation to a world that doesn't deserve her. What she sees there, nobody talks about...
CRYSTAL CAVES by Joni Dobrov
Set before the events of "The Zim," Crystal Caves follows three young couples who abandon an elegant night in Elysian for a forbidden journey. For generations, the Crystal Caves have revealed the nature of the bond between two people. Not who they should love, but what already exists between them. What begins as a night of teenage freedom, friendship, dancing, and first love changes when the caves give each couple a radically different answer. **May and Franny receive deep blue: a bond seemingly destined to endure. Tanor and Uni receive red: passionate, powerful, but volatile. And Ki and Yunash receive something no one has ever seen before—luminous white.** They return home with more questions than answers, only to discover that their forbidden adventure may be the smallest of their problems. Something has begun to change within them, connecting this intimate coming-of-age story to a much larger mystery unfolding across the world of *The Zim*. At its heart, Crystal Caves is about young love, friendship, fate, and the danger of asking the future for an answer before you’re ready to live with it.
LOT 94: Drink Your Dreams by Tamara Llorens
Trapped in a deeply monotonous life in 1990s Spain, a lonely man decides he has had enough of feeling nothing. When a late-night teleshopping commercial advertises "Dream Shots", a chemical shortcut promising perfectly curated dreams of love, adventure, and even nightmares, he doesn't hesitate to buy the complete pack. But what starts as a desperate attempt to escape his gray reality quickly spirals into a surreal and terrifying journey through his own mind. LOT 94 is a dark, nostalgic comedy about the dangers of trying to control what happens when we close our eyes.
