Jones’s lyrically written fever dream of a novel turns power and submission upside down, questioning the nature of gender hierarchy, agency, and empowerment. A haunting pick for fans of Nicola Yoon’s One of Our Kind.
This all-encompassing love letter to the mushroom will be a welcome addition to every collection and is sure to be enjoyed by casual cooks, along with those who are deeply interested in the mushroom.
The characters need further development in this debut, but Jones excels at the vivid descriptions of Algiers during World War II. Readers interested in the roles of women and an atmospheric story set in a less-discussed theater of war will be fascinated by the details.
From final girls to slashers, Jones’s ode to the genre and exploration of what it means to be an outsider is a fast-paced, horror-filled book that listeners won’t be able to put down.
Even those well versed in slashers and their tropes will be surprised by the directions Jones takes. Readable both as representative of slasher films and book and as an exploration of the rules of the genre, this novel will have wide appeal to readers who are new to Jones’s work as well as established fans. Recommended as a contrast for fans of recent “final girl” books like the ones by Grady Hendrix and Riley Sager and readers who enjoyed The Pallbearers Club by Paul Tremblay.
Jones’s deeply personal account of her battle to regain her reputation and combat intolerance in libraries is essential reading and ultimately a clarion call for others to help defend intellectual freedom and democracy.
A captivating audio, following the evolution and devolution of a seminal rock band. It is a must-listen for fans of the Velvets and for those who are just becoming acquainted with the band’s groundbreaking surge of sound.
