I have no mouth, and I must scream
One of my favorite writers of all time is Harlan Ellison. A true master of his craft, with over 1700 works, he was a very prolific writer, crafting captivating stories such as “I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream,” “A Boy and His Dog,” and “'Repent, Harlequin!' Said the Ticktockman.” He wrote not only sci-fi works but also screenplays, comic book scripts, and more. His works, often exploring themes of dystopia, technology, and social issues, have won numerous awards, including several Hugos, Nebulas, and Edgars. He was also an editor and anthologist. He was very successful over his long life, being born in 1934 and passing away in 2018.

"You'd Look Better As A Ghost": A Serial Killer Story About Grief
Originally published in the UK in 2023 and released in the US in 2024, I first discovered You’d Look Better As A Ghost in an email from Penguin Books. I haven’t read many serial killer protagonists in fiction that I’ve liked, but the novel struck me with its clever title and cover. Plus, the idea a part-time murderer going to a grief support group sounded like a fun read.

Clocking Out of the Supernatural
Chloe wasn't your average thirteen-year-old. Sure, she enjoyed the occasional pop song and had a questionable obsession with glitter, but her true passion lay in the realm of the extraordinary – specifically, unearthing evidence of the supernatural. Her bedroom resembled a cluttered museum of the peculiar: a jar of "ghost breath" (stale air), a collection of "alien antennae" (twisted pipe cleaners), and a framed photo of her neighbor Mr. Johnson (labeled "possible vampire – sleeps all day").
