Grady Hendrix's books are where comedy and horror meet and bind together in a writhing, cacking embrace. In his newest tale, two siblings return to their childhood home after the pandemic and economic meltdown have ravaged their back accounts, ready to sell and make a quick buck. What lies waiting is more than they prepared for. Dark, horrifying, side-spliting, and somehow heartfelt, Hendrix is back with a bombshell.

Legendary Teen Tiatn Starfire is back, this time with Mandy, her sullen teen daughter who is nothing at all like her mother- or so she thinks. Born without powers, Mandy has her own problems to worry about- like that fact she walked out of her SATs- without her mom's stardom getting in the way. But when an old face from Starfire's past appears and threatens everything she holds dear, Mandy will have to step up and find the power within herself to fight back. Beautiful art and characters, great for all ages!

Death and taxes: two guarantees. Caitlin Doughty tackles the more permanent of the two with her debut work of nonfiction. Covering everything from her first days as a crematorium worker to the ins and outs of green burial, to discussing living wills with your loved ones, this book dives into everything and anything to do with death and the industry built around it. And through it all, Caitlin's humor and intellect carry the reader on a journey that makes death a little less scary (not taxes, though. That's still terrifying).
