Fiction
The Edge of Everything by Jeff Giles
For the perfect love, what would you be willing to lose?
It's been a shattering year for seventeen-year-old Zoe, who's still reeling from her father's shocking death in a caving accident and her neighbors' mysterious disappearance from their own home.  then, on a terrifying subzero, blizzardy night in Montana, she and her brother are brutally attacked in the woods -- only to be rescued by a mysterious bounty hunter they call X.
X is no ordinary bounty hunter.  He is from a hell called the Lowlands, sent to claim the soul of Zoe's evil attacker and other like him.  X is forbidden from revealing himself to anyone other than his prey, but he casts aside the Lowlands' rules for Zoe.  As they learn more about their colliding worlds, they begin to question the past, their fate, and their future.
Escaping the Lowlands and the ties that bind X might mean the ultimate sacrifice for them both in this epic series debut.

Invisible Man, Got the Whole World Watching: A Young Black Man's Education by Mychal Denzel Smith
When Trayvon Martin was killed, Mychal Denzel Smith had just turned twenty-five.  He had not prepared for life at twenty-five, believing, simply, that he wouldn't make it that far.  Too many young black boys never reach adulthood.  But Mychal realized he had an opportunity and an obligation to ask himself, How do you learn to be a black man in America?
The men Mychal knew were stranded in a culture of misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, class-based elitism, self-hatred, violence, and untreated mental illness.  They were often left broken and defeated.  Coming of age during the presidency of Barack Obama meant witnessing the deaths of Oscar Grant, Michael Brown, and Akai Gurley, as well as the exhilerating powerful moments of black self-determination for LeBron James, Dave Chappelle, and Frank Ocean.  How could a young man thrive in such a country?
Invisible Man, Got the Whole World Watching is Mychal's attempt to answer that question.  And in doing so, he is not afraid to tackle the rage, joy, messiness, and hope inherent in growing up.  nor is he afraid to upend reigning assumptions about black masculinity, rewriting the script for black manhood so that depression and anxiety aren't considered taboo, and feminism and LGBTQ rights become part of the fight.  The answers are enlightening as they are urgent - for him, for the martyrs and the tokens, and for the Trayvons that could have been and are still in waiting.
