  "Heart of Darkness," written by Joseph Conrad in the late 19th century, is a novella that follows Charles Marlow, a seaman on a journey up the Congo River to connect with a mysterious ivory trader named Kurtz. Through this quest, the story explores themes of imperialism, colonization, and the darkness within humanity. 
  The narrative begins aboard the Nellie, a cruising yawl anchored on the Thames River, where Marlow reflects on the river's historical significance and its connection to both the past and the present. He contemplates the vastness and mystery of the unknown world, in contrast to the familiar sights of London. As the story unfolds, we gain insights into Marlow’s character and his quest to uncover the enigmatic figure of Kurtz, who embodies the complex moral ambiguities of European colonialism. 
  The atmosphere grows increasingly heavy with foreshadowing, inviting readers to reflect on the deeper implications of Marlow's journey into the heart of darkness.

  An uncanny literary thriller addressing the painful legacy of lynching in the US, by the author of Telephone 
   
   
   
  Percival Everett's The Trees is a must-listen that opens with a series of brutal murders in the rural town of Money, Mississippi. When a pair of detectives from the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation arrive, they meet expected resistance from the local sheriff, his deputy, the coroner, and a string of racist white townsfolk. The murders present a puzzle, for at each crime scene there is a second dead body: that of a man who resembles Emmett Till. 
   
   
   
  The detectives suspect that these are killings of retribution, but soon discover that eerily similar murders are taking place all over the country. Something truly strange is afoot. As the bodies pile up, the MBI detectives seek answers from a local root doctor who has been documenting every lynching in the country for years, uncovering a history that refuses to be buried. In this bold, provocative book, Everett takes direct aim at racism and police violence. The Trees is an enormously powerful novel of lasting importance from an author with his finger on America's pulse.
