The Best-Selling Books of 2024 Among Electric Literature's Readers

"We've gleaned a lot about our readers from examining this year's most purchased books on the site. It turns out you guys embrace a diverse range of genres and topics, whether it's a cleverly self-aware murder mystery or a biting collection of feminist poems. Themes emerged, too: many of these titles share an appreciation of dark humor, a love of magical realism, an affinity for feminist and intersectional concerns, or an aspiration to make visible what is normally hidden. We're especially proud to see so many small-press books here, given the comparably less space that is afforded to them in traditional media."-Skylar Miklus (they/them)
