![]() ![]() ![]() Sometimes you want a short, sharp hit of horror and magic. We’ll be here throughout the year to update the list of horror titles you mustn’t miss. It’s scary out there alone though, so let us be your guide. ![]() Whether you’re looking for a story that will chill your blood, darken your soul, or turn your stomach, this year’s macabre offerings will provide. There are major titles from huge names, nasty little gems from literary darlings, and, as ever, the small presses continue to push the genre in new, outrageous directions. That upward trajectory looks to reach new heights throughout the year, with horror creeping in to dominate the literary landscape from several directions at once. Whatever the reason, the genre is now more expansive, more inclusive, and more innovative than at any point in its history. Or maybe a whole generation raised on Stephen King has finally come of age and taken the reins. Maybe it’s because of the pandemic, as authors have had more time than ever to sit and mull over their darkest fantasies. (There, that’s the obligatorily gruesome metaphor checked off.) 2023 has already served up a fresh platter of bloody morsels and sweet, sickly delights to suit every morbid appetite. ![]() Straight from a 2022 that featured some of the best horror fiction in recent memory, we’ve hurtled into another banner year. ![]()

I would have missed on on so many really dynamite books had I not ventured into unknown reading territory. Where in the world did I get the idea that graphic novels couldn’t be quality? I look back on this misconception and cringe. ![]() My reading time was limited and with the little bit of it I had, I wanted to read quality literature. I, too, once upon a time, was reluctant to pick up graphic novels.

Interviewers often asked us, “Why a graphic novel?” The truth is that “March” was always a comic, starting with Andrew’s initial vision after Congressman Lewis described 1957’s buried but influential “Martin Luther King and the Montgomery Story.” Across 14 pages, the comic book explains the philosophy and discipline of nonviolent social resistance through an illustrated recounting of Rosa Parks, Dr. ![]() ![]() CNN Films’ upcoming documentary chronicles the life and career of the legendary civil rights activist and Democratic Representative from Georgia. ![]() ![]() ![]() *I am aware of this essay’s anthropocentric focus, which merits this disclaimer: it is most important to remember and respect the natural history of the book's physical matter after all, the majority of the matter came from something once living - the tree, the cow, the lamb, the plant. As we become conscious of the many hearts, minds, and hands it took for a book's production and dissemination, the community* appears via the book. In this reality, we should consider ourselves more as "users" of the book as opposed to "readers," as the bibliographic scholar Sarah Werner states in her book Studying Early Printed Books. While this alchemical process of turning rags or pulp into connections and imagined environments can be a welcome and beautiful kind of magic, in reality, the book is an object and one with many creators, craftspeople, and handlers (the historical study of the book as object is called bibliography).

The new series, adapted from One Day She’ll Darken, a memoir by Fauna Hodel, explores a storyline tangential to the Black Dahlia case, one that delves into racial identity, adoption, incest, and the politics of mid-century Los Angeles’s most powerful, and leads a white woman, raised by adoptive black parents, on a search for her biological grandfather. This week, the Black Dahlia is set to be back in the limelight with the premiere of I Am the Night, TNT’s six-episode limited series starring Chris Pine and directed by Wonder Woman’s Patty Jenkins. While the case is ice cold and probably unsolvable given the lack of evidence and amount of time that has passed, writers and amateur sleuths continue to work over the details looking for new threads, new answers, and some hint of what it all means. The unsolved murder of Short, the aspiring actress who was butchered at the torso and left in a vacant lot, has been obsessively analyzed, belabored and rehashed for nearly three-quarters of a century, immortalized in Los Angeles’ mythos and played out time and again, most famously by James Ellroy, who laid claim to the definitive and eponymous novel about the case. ![]() ![]() Spring 2012 Indie Next List Children Selection Praise for Welcome, Caller, This is Chloe Readers will fall in love with Chloe as she falls in love with the radio station and the misfits who call it home.
