    A 2024 LAMBDA AWARD FINALIST 
    ""This enchanting, modern homage to Pinocchio reminds us anything is possible if we're true to ourselves."" —Cynthia Leitich Smith, award-winning author of Ancestor Approved and Sisters of the Neversea 
    Eleven-year-old Matteo has never felt like one of the other boys. He’s sure that will change when he joins the Blue Whales, the baseball team his dad once played for. This is his chance to grow into a son his father can be proud of. 
    And grow Matteo does, but not the way he expected. Instead, he starts sprouting leaves and finding bark all over his skin. Alarmed, Matteo starts digging for the truth about what’s happening to him—and finds that all clues lead back to the oak tree at the center of town, which Creeksiders have always believed is a little bit magic. As his parents start noticing something is wrong, the truth gets harder to hide—and Matteo makes some surprising discoveries about himself, his hometown, and his entire family tree. 
    From Michael Leali, author of The Civil War of Amos Abernathy, this earnest deconstruction of what it means to be a “real boy” is full of humor and heart, and a surefire home run for readers of Mark Oshiro, Anne Ursu, and Katherine Applegate.

    In The Shambler From The Stars, Robert Bloch delivers a gripping tale of ambition gone astray, where a young writer’s hunger for originality draws him toward ancient texts, forbidden lore, and whispers of powers beyond human comprehension. What begins as an intellectual quest soon becomes a descent into unseen realms, as curiosity pushes past fear and caution is cast aside in pursuit of creative greatness. 
    As the narrator and his learned friend uncover secrets buried for centuries, the cost of knowledge reveals itself in terrifying ways. Bloch blends cosmic dread with psychological intensity, crafting a story where unseen forces press against the fragile boundaries of reality, and where a single invocation changes everything forever. 
    Robert Bloch was one of the defining voices of twentieth-century speculative fiction, known for blending horror, science fiction, and psychological tension with sharp prose and relentless pacing. A protégé and correspondent of H. P. Lovecraft, Bloch absorbed cosmic horror’s vast themes and reshaped them into tightly focused, character-driven narratives. 
    Though many know him as the author of Psycho, Bloch’s earlier weird fiction laid the groundwork for modern cosmic and psychological horror. His stories explore obsession, forbidden curiosity, and the fragile nature of sanity—making The Shambler From The Stars one of his most enduring and influential early works.
