We are so proud of our Writer-in-Residence! Be sure to check out Ozark Dogs and keep an eye out for Eli's future projects!

OZARK DOGS is one of The New York Times Best Crime Novels of 2023! 🧡

"There’s a little more hope in Eli Cranor’s 'Ozark Dogs,' but just like his acclaimed debut, 'Don’t Know Tough,' it dwells in the murky recesses of rural Arkansas, where people often commit acts of violence out of desperation... Cranor doesn’t hide the horror or the emotional wreckage, but he also never resorts to gratuitous descriptions." —Sarah Weinman, The New York Times Book Review

Congrats, Eli Cranor!
