  New York Times bestselling, acclaimed horror author Paul Tremblay delivers an unforgettable middle grade debut in this bone-chilling tale of an unsettling, unbreakable friendship. 
  “All the questions we ask as kids about who we are and what we’re worth take a terrifying turn in this spooky tale of a sinister, inhuman imposter and the nightmares he brings. Tremblay has taken the world of horror for adults by storm, and in his middle-grade debut, once again, he serves up scenes that will make you squirm long after the book is closed.”  
                                                  —M.T. Anderson, National Book Award Winner 
  When Casey Wilson’s parents tell him that his friend is coming for a sleepover, he has no idea who that might be. Ever since the Zoom Incident, everyone treats him like a pariah, and his tics are worse than ever.   
  When Morel appears, he’s not like any friend Casey has ever met. His skin is like clay, and he doesn’t speak. But Casey’s parents are charmed by the strange kid, and it’s nice to have someone to talk to besides his sister, Ally, who is away at college. As his normally loving parents grow distant from Casey, they gush and fawn over Morel. Casey knows something is wrong—but with no end in sight to the sleepover, he’s exhausted. And in the dark, out of the corner of his eye, Morel doesn’t look like a kid at all. . . .

  Black Sister Glory is a delicately themed, thought-provoking and brain jostling book aimed at touching the delicate and yet intricate well-beings of the average Black people’s existence all across the globe. Its chapters are themed based on the hidden struggles, challenges and everyday experiences of black men and women from hundreds and if not thousands of years before. 
  The author, through ample research, through re-education, and constant desire to learn about the black history as they were and as they had occurred, not only uncovers a harem of challenges faced by black women and sisters around the globe, and as well as from times past. 
  Black Sister Glory enlightens the minds of its readers to the societal norms and misplaced values that not only seek to demean the black race, but which have found a way to eat at and demolish the Black Sister Pride, the Black Sister Culture, and the Black Sister Values. 
  Each chapter of the book have been carefully scripted with an objective mindset and based solely on “actual facts”, and no work of fictional inclusion. 
  While Black Sister Glory harbors on the problems and deficiencies the black sisters around the globe are constantly met with from years before and into the current times, it also does enough to provide ample solutions to many of these problems. These solutions are practical, enticing, mind-challenging and definitely uplifting to the souls of the black populace as a whole. 
  The book also seeks to debunk untrue societal norms, cast away fabricated ideologies, and subsequently table the black sister in the proper light as the Queen, Mother and Goddess she was created to be and which she truly is. 
  A deeper dive into the book depicts the current state of the black populace in the United States as well as in major countries around the world.

  The Guest Rites

  The Guest Rites by Robert Silverberg - Carthule was not the Earthman's god, but Carthule protected him while he was a guest in the temple—even if he tore the temple down! 
  It was time for the after-meal meditation. Marik, First Priest of Carthule, finished his frugal meal and went outside to sit in the mid-day breeze and watch the sands blowing gently over the bare flat plains. The problem of the Revelation occupied his reveries: why had Carthule, in His infinite wisdom, waited so long to reveal to His people that they were not alone in the universe? 
  Marik looked up at the glowing dot behind the gray wall of the sky. That, he knew, was the Sun. And there were other planets, some inhabited, some not. Carthule was not alone; He was one of nine. And His people had never suspected the truth until the flaming ships of the third planet—Earth, was it?—had broken through the skies, and the small white people had told them of the other worlds. 
  The problem was one which the greatest theologians of the time—in whose number Marik, without pride, deemed himself—had discussed at great length, never coming to a solution. Marik and Polla San, of the neighboring temple, had finally concluded that Carthule moved in ways too complex for His mortal people to understand. 
  Marik lowered his gaze from the sky and looked out across the dry expanse of desert. He could make out, dimly, Polla San's temple far across the sands. Polla San was due to visit him shortly, he recalled. Or was it the other way around? Marik frowned; he was getting old, and soon would have to relinquish his duties to one of the younger acolytes and spend his remaining decades sitting dreaming in the afternoon. 
  Calmly Marik settled into the semi-somnolence of the after-meal meditation, fixing his gaze on the far-off temple of Polla San but turning his vision inward.
