I’m currently rereading this delightfully spooky novel while I wait for the author’s next terrifying masterpiece to come out – “The Hollow Places,” due out in October.

Alex Hooks, Reference Librarian Book Title: “The Ballad of Black Tom” by Victor LaValle

This book explores the mythos of H.P. Lovecraft from a Black perspective, which is an important moral and intellectual project.

Cailey Klasson, Youth Services Librarian Book Title: “March” Trilogy by John Lewis

I’m on Book 3 of the “March” trilogy. It’s a young adult graphic novel series about Congressman Lewis’s life as a young boy growing up in rural Alabama to his days as a student leader and civil rights activist in the 1960s. The books highlight how peaceful civil rights protestors were met with violence from police and hatred from many Americans. It’s a timely series about getting in good, necessary trouble. I highly recommend.
