In Antidote, Karen Russell turns her singular imagination toward a world teetering between the uncanny and the all too familiar. Known for blending the surreal with the emotionally precise, Russell builds a narrative where small, intimate choices ripple outward into something stranger and larger than anyone expects. The book moves with her signature mix of dark humor, tenderness, and unease, inviting readers to sit with questions about care, responsibility, and what we owe each other when things start to come apart.

WHY WE PICKED IT
Because Karen Russell is one of contemporary fiction’s most inventive voices, and Antidote feels like a natural next step in her work: sharp, off‑kilter, and emotionally grounded. It’s a strong pick for readers who like their literary fiction with a touch of the uncanny.
