The Best Day Ever by Frank Tupta and Lindsey Ward
The Best Day Ever by Tupta and Ward is an adorable tale about appreciating who you are and accepting others as they are. It’s also got a dash of willingness to try something new (and equal willingness to abandon what’s not working). The planner of the week, Monday begins to feel unappreciated by her fellow days. She decides to ‘chill’ and basically be part of a three day weekend. All the other…

This and That Redux
Horror Collector #1 by Midori Sato and Norio Tsuruta Horror Collector #1 by Midori Sato and Norio Tsuruta is a series of six creepy Japanese-centric urban legend short stories. I like Fushigi Senno, despite his aloof standoffishness. I found the addition of grainy photos to preface each story an unusual choice given the rest of the art was manga/anime style drawings. It helped emphasize the…

Some of these insects will likely be familiar due to their beneficial nature, such as bees that pollinate and , while others many people…
Magick and Mysticism
Norse Mysticism by Disa Forvisin Forvisin’s Norse Mysticism explores the ancient mysteries of myth and magic. There are chapters on runes, Norse deities, and traditional magic, as well as historical contexts. I love how the author pointed out how myth informs a culture’s values. The author addresses how the culture has changed, and how today many racist violent groups have tried to appropriate…

Doll Seed by Michele Tracy Berger
Berger’s Doll Seed is a collection of short stories with psychological / speculative horror themes. They are woven through with unsettling ideas about such things as ethical concerns regarding technology, or questions surrounding identity. These aren’t stories full of splatterpunk, full of gore, pagely death, and jump scares like the cheesy B flicks of the ‘70s-’90s. The horror is subtle, easing…
Dandelion by Sabir Pirzada
Coupled with manga art from a variety of different artists, Pirzada’s Dandelion was an interesting foray into humanity’s possible future, and how the best of intentions can go horribly awry. Hoping to present the world with a housing blessing at a time when the ice caps were melting and the seas taking back large swathes of land, Jen Nakamuto presented the world with the Dandelion. These…
More Big Dreams
Beyoncé by Maria Isabel Vegara Sanchez Beyoncé by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara explores the life of this bright and beautiful personality. Her first ‘gig’ was singing for a captive audience at her mother’s hair salon, where she occasionally earned tips. Not long after, Beyoncé became lead singer of a kid band called Girls Tyme. (Not gonna lie- that sounds very exploitative to me.) She grew…

Book Review: Watership Down (graphic novel) by Richard Adams, Illus. by James Sturm & Joe Sutphin
Richard Adams’ classic Watership Down is brought to lustrous life by James Sturm & Joe Sutphin in this new graphic novel. I first read Adams’ novel in ninth grade and absolutely loved it. Finding this graphic novel was a real treat. The story follows Hazel and his brother Fiver. Fiver is a bunny with the dubious gift of prophecy. Following a harrowing vision of the destruction of the Sandleford…
Manga Blitz

The stories center on Mimi, a young woman with a penchant for seeing the paranormal. Ito weaves tales that unsettle and intrigue as Mimi faces off against eerily horrific encounters. One of my favorite quotes, from ‘Seashore’- “Nothing scary is going to…
