Out of the Shadows - How Lotte...

Fiona Robinson

Lotte Reiniger (1899–1981) was a German film director and animator best known for The Adventures of Prince Achmed, which was released in 1926 and is the oldest surviving animated movie. (It came out a full eleven years before Disney’s Snow White!) As a little kid, Reiniger loved reading fairytales and fell in love with puppetry. At school, she learned about paperschnitte, or papercuts, which helped her create her signature style of silhouettes. She grew up to make more than forty films throughout her long career, most of which were fairytales that used her stop-film animation technique of hand-cut silhouettes. Reiniger is now seen as the foremost pioneer of silhouette animation and the inventor of an early form of the multiplane camera.

Lisa Greenwald

Bestselling author Lisa Greenwald's charming middle grade novel with summertime fun, crushes, and babysitting—and a dash of magic—is a sequel perfect for fans of Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and That's So Raven. 
Is the magic really back? 
When Mille, Nora, and Bea found fortune tellers popping up in unexpected places—with eerily accurate fortunes—they reunited as best friends. Now that they're back to being besties, they're excited to spend the summer together outside the city. Recruited into babysitting eight-year-old triplets and staying with Millie's family, the girls are hoping this will be their own private summer camp, one where they're in charge, away from annoying siblings and toxic frenemies. 
But nothing perfect can last. When everything from homesickness and boy craziness to real estate developers threaten their summer, Millie, Nora, and Bea start stumbling upon fortune tellers in the strangest places. And once again it feels like these fortune tellers are speaking to them: Sometimes in life you just have to jump in. Speak your mind and stand up for what you believe in! You are here for a reason. If they speak up, can Millie, Nora, and Bea really save the summer—and the community—before it's too late?

You Risk Your Life

Joseph Slotkin

You Risk Your Life by Joseph Slotkin - This was the audience participation show that couldn’t be topped!  
When the Broadcasters Association of Democracy Inc. telecast its first nationwide surgi-drama in color, Pat Price, who was watching the screen across the mahogany in the Wish-A-Wile Bar on Wilshire near Vermont, got a brainstorm that came close to revolutionizing the scientific outlook, and certainly did make show business history. 
Pat Price was one of the sharpest promoters in the Hollywood public relations game. He was in the Wilshire Boulevard bar mooning around for inspiration for a kinescoped show he was building up into a package, when he saw the sheeted anesthetized body as the telelens saw it. 
Then he saw it as his miasmatic Muse saw it.

The Abominations of Yondo - A...

Clark Ashton Smith

The Abominations of Yondo is one of Clark Ashton Smith’s earliest and most haunting tales, first published in 1926. It tells the story of a man exiled into the desolate desert of Yondo, a realm of grotesque landscapes and unspeakable horrors. As he wanders through twisted forests, decaying idols, and monstrous beings, the narrator’s fear builds toward madness, revealing a world that feels ancient, alien, and indifferent to human existence. More prose poem than traditional narrative, it captures the essence of Smith’s imagination—lush, decadent, and steeped in both beauty and dread. The story laid the groundwork for his later cosmic fantasies set in realms like Zothique and Hyperborea, where decay and divinity coexist under dying suns.
Clark Ashton Smith (1893–1961) was an American writer, poet, and artist whose work helped define the golden age of weird fiction. Born in Auburn, California, Smith was largely self-educated, developing a vast vocabulary and a fascination with the macabre. Encouraged by H. P. Lovecraft and a contributor to Weird Tales, Smith created vividly imagined worlds filled with doomed civilizations, decadent sorcerers, and monstrous gods. His stories—such as The City of the Singing Flame and The Dark Eidolon—combined rich, lyrical language with a sense of cosmic fatalism that rivaled Lovecraft’s. Beyond fiction, he was an accomplished poet and sculptor, blending sensuality and strangeness across art forms. Though less known in his lifetime, Smith’s influence has only grown, his ornate visions continuing to inspire generations of fantasy and science fiction writers.
