I had a love-hate relationship with hockey players. They’d won over my protected, carefully-controlled heart, and I accepted that they had a place in my town. And in my heart. Mostly because Joel had waltzed right in and made himself at home. And…I’d fallen for him. Deep. But now the man had decided he was going to waltz back out…leaving a giant, hockey-player-sized hole in my soul and my heart shredded beneath his sharp skate blades. The man had broken me. And he’d done it with a smile on his face.

Americans have built an empire on the idea of “race,” a falsehood that damages us all but falls most heavily on the bodies of black women and men—bodies exploited through slavery and segregation, and, today, threatened, locked up, and murdered out of all proportion. What is it like to inhabit a black body and find a way to live within it? And how can we all honestly reckon with this fraught history and free ourselves from its burden? Between the World and Me is Ta-Nehisi Coates’s attempt to answer these questions in a letter to his adolescent son. Coates shares with his son—and readers—the story of his awakening to the truth about his place in the world through a series of revelatory experiences, from Howard University to Civil War battlefields, from the South Side of Chicago to Paris, from his childhood home to the living rooms of mothers whose children’s lives were taken as American plunder. Beautifully woven from personal narrative, reimagined history, and fresh, emotionally charged reportage, Between the World and Me clearly illuminates the past, bracingly confronts our present, and offers a transcendent vision for a way forward.

"A surreal excursion into heartache and horror narrated by a man undone by grief . . . Along with allusions to Rod Serling and The Exorcist, there are shades of H. P. Lovecraft, Stephen King, zombie literature and, at least once, A Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy . . . You don't want to read this book right before bed." —Sarah Lyall, The New York Times Book Review “This intense cosmic horror with a touch of Mexican American folklore is incredibly creepy and moving.” —Margaret Kingsbury, BuzzFeed It was Vera’s idea to buy the Itza. The “world’s most advanced smart speaker!” didn’t interest Thiago, but Vera thought it would be a bit of fun for them amidst all the strange occurrences happening in the condo. It made things worse. The cold spots and scratching in the walls were weird enough, but peculiar packages started showing up at the house—who ordered industrial lye? Then there was the eerie music at odd hours, Thiago waking up to Itza projecting light shows in an empty room. It was funny and strange right up until Vera was killed, and Thiago’s world became unbearable. Pundits and politicians all looking to turn his wife’s death into a symbol for their own agendas. A barrage of texts from her well-meaning friends about letting go and moving on. Waking to the sound of Itza talking softly to someone in the living room . . . The only thing left to do was get far away from Chicago. Away from everything and everyone. A secluded cabin in Colorado seemed like the perfect place to hole up with his crushing grief. But soon Thiago realizes there is no escape—not from his guilt, not from his simmering rage, and not from the evil hunting him, feeding on his grief, determined to make its way into this world. A bold, original horror novel about grief, loneliness and the oppressive intimacy of technology, This Thing Between Us marks the arrival of a spectacular new talent.

It is 2299, in the distant world, New Hope. Peter West was on the verge of graduating from his primary school with big dreams for his future. With a starship license burning a hole in his pocket, he dreamed of someday owning his own spacecraft. Peter wanted to see what was out there and believed his only opportunity to do this was to join the Space Explorers, if they would only have him. Talented young pilot or not, Peter’s skills may not be enough to make the cut. And of course, there was the Galactic Lottery drawing, which was to take place on Earth’s New Year’s Day, after five years of selling tickets on three worlds—the grand prize being a state-of-the-art starship. Were Peter’s dreams about to come true? But he wasn’t the only one with their eyes on the starship. The syndicate operated out of the massive Gateway space station under the very noses of Earth’s Space Rangers. With their evil grips around the throats of key station personnel, they were able to hide their operation and carry out their criminal plans unabated. Felix Sandoval owed the syndicate big-time and was about to do something he may live to regret. Along with the starship prize came a trip to Earth, Peter’s ancestral home world. One way or another, Peter’s dreams were about to come true. Setting foot on another planet, the freedom of space . . . but dreams sometimes turn into nightmares. Luck turns bad, villains ruin plans, and of course, the chaos of space travel. The void is unforgiving. In his travels, he learns the answer to one of mankind’s burning questions, one that had been asked for millennia and would change the course of mankind forever. Are we alone? If only he could survive being, Lost Between Stars.
