While I have not been involved in monthly readings here are some new novels you could take a look at:

Station Eleven by Emily Mandel, a post-apocalyptic novel about a wandering troupe of actors and other artists and their interactions with the pockets of survivors of the global epidemic.

Cold Skin by Alberto Sanchez Pinol, which recently had a film adaptation. Think of it as a study of human nature under literally inhuman conditions.

The Bloodsounder's Arc by Jeff Salyards, a well written, tight as a fish pussy, focused dark fantasy without hundreds of pages of characterization or world building or other gay shit. The author stays clear away from world shattering events and the usual fantasy padding. The novels are not about Robin Hood but more about hoods robbin'.

Germline by T.C. McCarthy, a well written proper military sci-fi, hard on science and hard on characters. The best way I would describe this is Dispatches by Michael Herr. Same journalist protag, different future battlefield, same human lunacy and violence.

Crooked by Austin Grossman, a very nice novel about Richard Nixon battling Lovecraftian monstrosities (yeah boy!).
