  The Colour Out of Space by H. P. Lovecraft - In 1927 Amazing Stories had this to say about The Colour Out of Space, "We could wax rhapsodical in our praise, as the story is one of the finest pieces of literature it has been our good fortune to read. The theme is original, and yet fantastic enough to make it rise head and shoulders above many contemporary scientifiction stories. You will not regret having read this marvelous tale." 
  H. P. Lovecraft’s The Colour Out of Space is a cosmic horror story about an incomprehensible alien presence. The tale is told by a surveyor investigating the desolate “blasted heath” near Arkham, Massachusetts, where a meteorite crashed years earlier. The rock released an unnatural, indescribable color, which seeped into the land, contaminating water, plants, animals, and even humans. The Gardner family, living on the affected farm, suffers horrifying transformations—plants grow wildly but inedibly, animals mutate or go mad, and family members succumb to madness and decay. Eventually, the strange color dissipates into the sky, leaving only desolation behind. The story is a chilling depiction of an alien force beyond human understanding and one of Lovecraft’s most influential works. 
  Howard Phillips Lovecraft was known for pioneering cosmic horror—a genre emphasizing the insignificance of humanity in an indifferent universe. Born in Providence, Rhode Island, Lovecraft was a sickly and reclusive child, heavily influenced by classical literature, science, and the works of Edgar Allan Poe and Lord Dunsany. 
  Despite financial struggles and limited literary success during his lifetime, Lovecraft created the Cthulhu Mythos. His most famous works include The Call of Cthulhu, At the Mountains of Madness, and The Shadow over Innsmouth. 
  Though he died in poverty at age 46, his work gained widespread recognition posthumously, shaping modern horror fiction and pop culture.

  Neurodivergent Maudie is ready to spend an amazing summer with her dad, but will she find the courage to tell him a terrible secret about life with her mom and new stepdad? This contemporary novel by the award-winning author of The Someday Birds is a must-read for fans of Leslie Connor and Ali Standish. 
  Maudie always looks forward to the summers she spends in California with her dad. But this year, she must keep a troubling secret about her home life—one that her mom warned her never to tell. Maudie wants to confide in her dad about her stepdad's anger, but she’s scared. 
  When a wildfire strikes, Maudie and her dad are forced to evacuate to the beach town where he grew up. It’s another turbulent wave of change. But now, every morning, from their camper, Maudie can see surfers bobbing in the water. She desperately wants to learn, but could she ever be brave enough? 
  As Maudie navigates unfamiliar waters, she makes friends—and her autism no longer feels like the big deal her mom makes it out to be. But her secret is still threatening to sink her. Will Maudie find the strength to reveal the awful truth—and maybe even find some way to stay with Dad—before summer is over?
