60 Highly Anticipated Debut Novels

"With each new year comes the chance to discover a new favorite author. It's fun to get in on the ground floor with a new literary talent, and it can earn you considerable cool points down the line. Plus, it's just good karma to support your humbly endeavoring debut novelist.

Below we've collected 60 debut novels dropping in 2022, most of which are slated for the first few months of the year, including contemporary fiction, historical fiction, mystery/thrillers, and sci-fi/fantasy.

There are plenty of stories to choose from. Perhaps you'd like to read about Chinese immigrants in 1880s American West? Try Four Treasures of the Sky by Jenny Tinghui Zhang. How about Southern Gothic voodoo in the wake of Hurricane Katrina? Check out None but the Righteous by Chantal James.

Also on tap: the adult fiction debut of celebrated YA author Nina LaCour and an oddly relevant story concerning enthusiastic readers who devour new books—literally."
