  Kelly Robinson, a 24-year-old economics doctoral student, spent the day on a perilous climb to Abuna Yemata Guh, a 5th-century monolithic church carved into a sheer cliffside in Ethiopia. 
  Inside, the chapel walls were covered with vibrant frescoes, their colors deep and rich, depicting serene biblical figures, saints, and angels. 
  But then something happened that science couldn’t explain. 
  Within hours, the video Kelly captured of the incident went viral. 
  Thousands of miles away, the crew of the Tahila watched in disbelief. If the footage was real, it meant one terrifying thing: the Elixir of Life had been found. 
  And the world was now in grave danger. 
  To make matters worse, Sam Reilly was missing…

  Dressing Up for the Carnival - A...

  Carol Shields had a knack for turning the ordinary into the extraordinary and nowhere more than in this luminous collection of short stories. Throughout these stories runs Shields' preoccupation with identity—as in the title story, about a compacted day in the life of the world, in which a procession of characters try on new selves. Yet these stories and their quiet epiphanies reflect all the contrasts of human existence—from the bittersweet sexuality of "Eros" to the wicked skewering of pompous academic conversation in "The Next Best Kiss." Playful, graceful, acute yet tender, Dressing Up for the Carnival distills all Shields' elegance, wisdom, and humor into stories that are more like concise novels.

When the police pull them over one night, everything changes.Bitch Baby is a short story from Halle Hill’s Good Women, which delves into the lives of twelve Black women across the Appalachian South.
