This week’s staff pick is weird but really good (reportedly). Hawkins has been repeatedly hailed as a cross between Neil Gaiman and Joe Hill, and the genre-bending The Library at Mount Char definitely reflects that. This is a novel where you won’t know what’s going on immediately, but it’s an […]

This week’s staff pick is a hysterical bite-s-zed novel, perfect for some beach reading. Our staffer literally laughed out loud several times reading this. This is a fast read, all written via letters of recommendation that a beleaguered creative writing professor writes over the course of a year, and his story […]
