There’s a mix of novels, novellas, short story collections, and even poetry in here to satisfy any reading craving you may have. So please enjoy this shortlist of terrifying works of horror by AAPI authors. Preparation for writing this has expanded my TBR and put some new authors on my radar for that, I am always grateful for this opportunity to learn more about books. And I say that as a compliment.īut as an Asian American myself, who also wants to be recognized as both an Asian AND an American, it both amazed (and horrified) me that Asian American and Pacific Islander authors did not immediately pop to the front of my mind. I may be speaking for myself, but when I think of “Asian horror” my first thoughts are of works in translation and their movie adaptations that make me want to pour bleach on my eyeballs. Researching and reading books for this piece has been an unexpectedly needed experience for me.

And as he learns more about both his grandpa – and G’ma too – Scoob can’t help questioning everything he thought he knew about his family history. Scoob loves hanging out with G’ma and hearing her stories, but it quickly becomes clear this is not just any road trip: she’s on a mission to right a wrong from her past. Now, Scoob’s in charge of G’ma’s old map, marked up with all the places G’ma wanted to visit before, like the highest mountain in Alabama and the church where Martin Luther King held gatherings. Back then, things in America were very different, especially for black people, and people were not very accepting of G’ma and G’pop’s mixed relationship. When Scoob’s grandma – G’ma – invites him to join her on an adventure in her brand-new campervan, obviously he says yes.Īs they watch Alabama drift past from the comfort of the van, G’ma reveals they’re going to retrace the steps of a road trip she took with his grandpa fifty years ago. As a young man, he understood that mountain climbing was his genuine love, and with the first ascent of the Eiger North Face, he gained his first great accomplishment as a climber. He grew up in Hüttenberg, Austria, in a humble household with a passion for exploration.

Heinrich Harrer was an Austrian mountaineer who was a member of the first team to summit the Eiger’s daunting north wall in Switzerland. What he didn’t count on: his catfish scenario landing him in a quasi–love triangle.īut as he navigates his complicated feelings, Felix begins a journey of questioning and self-discovery that helps redefine his most important relationship: how he feels about himself.įelix Ever After is an honest and layered story about identity, falling in love, and recognizing the love you deserve. When an anonymous student begins sending him transphobic messages-after publicly posting Felix’s deadname alongside images of him before he transitioned-Felix comes up with a plan for revenge. What’s worse is that, even though he is proud of his identity, Felix also secretly fears that he’s one marginalization too many-Black, queer, and transgender-to ever get his own happily-ever-after. He desperately wants to know what it’s like and why it seems so easy for everyone but him to find someone. From Stonewall and Lambda Award–winning author Kacen Callender comes a revelatory YA novel about a transgender teen grappling with identity and self-discovery while falling in love for the first time.įelix Love has never been in love-and, yes, he’s painfully aware of the irony. Yet it's hard not to cringe at some of Hamilton's hotheaded words and behavior, especially sacrificing the well-being of his family on the altar of misplaced honor. Chernow makes fresh contributions to Hamiltoniana: no one has discovered so much about Hamilton's illegitimate origins and harrowed youth few have been so taken by Hamilton's long-suffering, loving wife, Eliza. Possessing the most powerful (though not the most profound) intelligence of his gifted contemporaries, Hamilton rose from Caribbean bastardy through military service in Washington's circle to historic importance at an early age and then, in a new era of partisan politics, gradually lost his political bearings. Chernow's achievement is to give us a biography commensurate with Hamilton's character, as well as the full, complex context of his unflaggingly active life. In fact, it's arguable that without Hamilton's political and financial strategic brilliance, the United States might not have survived beyond its early years. Rockefeller, what other grandee of American finance was left for Chernow's overflowing pen than the one who puts the others in the shade?
