HOUSE OF COTTON by Monica Brashears received a rave review from The New York Times, where reviewer MJ Franklin writes: "It’s a testament to Brashears’s enchanting storytelling that the deluge of plot doesn’t overwhelm the book. Just the opposite: The cascading waves of unsettling encounters and unexplained phenomena imbue it with the thrilling energy of possibility. As the story developed, it felt like anything and everything could happen next…There is a word commonly used to describe books like this: gritty. Fair enough. HOUSE OF COTTON is unafraid to peer at the unsavory minutiae of getting by. But for this novel, I’d add a few other labels too: magnetic, singular and completely unforgettable.” HOUSE OF COTTON was also included on Book Riot's "8 Terrifyingly Claustrophobic Horror Books," Bustle's roundup of “The Most Anticipated Books of Spring & Summer 2023,” and Debutiful's roundup of "Can’t-Miss Debut Books You Should Read in April." Flatiron Books published the novel on April 4th, 2023.
