June marks the start of summer, which usually means our readers start taking a few spooky side trips alongside the monthly book. If you’re looking to build out your horror reading list, this roundup is a great place to start:

I made the first step to clearing my backlog of books, comics, games, shows and movies. I listed everything I have bought in these categories so that I can check them off the list. I separated them into their respective categories divided by physical and digital media.

Next step is to actually finish all this stuff or at least start them to see if I even want to finish them.

Do you have a strategy for your backlog? Do you even have a backlog? Or do you have backlog and just don’t care about it?

Master Slave Husband Wife

The 2024 Pulitzer Prize winner for Biography by Ilyon Woo that tells the story of Ellen & William Craft + their escape from slavery in 1848 Georgia. Ellen, whose father was a white plantation owner was enslaved by her half sister, working as a seamstress + house servant. William, her husband, worked as a hired out carpenter for his master. Ellen who was extremely light skinned disguised herself as a wealthy southern planter while William portrayed her slave in order to make their escape. The 1st half of this book is a gripping tale - the 2nd half however looses the thread as Ellen + William travel to England - their story gets lost amid the politics + the stories of other abolitionist who help them on their journey.
