Ron Charles of the Washington Post said that “James has spun an African fantasy as vibrant, complex and haunting as any western mythology and nobody who survives reading this book will ever forget it” the notoriously sniffy Michiko Kakutani of the New York Times declared that “with Tracker and the Leopard, James has created two compelling and iconic characters, characters who will take their place in the pantheon of memorable and fantastical superheroes” there was also a rave on the revered speculative fiction website Tor.com, with the reviewer, Alex Brown, getting himself into a right tizzy: “Y’all, Marlon James’s Black Leopard, Red Wolf is a miracle. The critics, whose panegyrics have been appearing over recent weeks, seem to agree. It’s complex, lyrical, moving and furiously gripping. But the best novels defy the narrow clannishness of genre labels and Black Leopard…is one of them. James’s UK publisher, he says, was worried that it would be “too literary for fantasy fans, too fantastical for literary fans”. I’ve read it twice already, I tell him, and love it as much as any book I’ve read for a long time. We order and I pull out my tattered proof of the book.

Thus, I was glad to find The Banshee by Eve Bunting and Illustrated by Caldecott Medalist Emily Arnold McCully. While Fats and I have no difficulties finding picture books related to the circus/carnivale bit, finding really worthwhile paranormal-themed picture books poses more of a challenge.

Kirkus Reviews Best Books of the Year - 2019 Interspersed are origin stories of a different sort-how a rye fungus in 1951 turned a small village in France into a phantasmagoric scene reminiscent of Burning Man. Learn the tragic stories of Patient Zeros throughout history, such as Mabalo Lokela, who contracted Ebola while on vacation in 1976, and the Lewis Baby on London’s Broad Street, the first to catch cholera in an 1854 outbreak that led to a major medical breakthrough. Written in the authors’ lively and accessible style, chapters include page-turning medical stories about a particular disease or virus-smallpox, Bubonic plague, polio, HIV-that combine “Patient Zero” narratives, or the human stories behind outbreaks, with historical examinations of missteps, milestones, scientific theories, and more. From the masters of storytelling-meets-science and co-authors of Quackery, Patient Zero tells the long and fascinating history of disease outbreaks-how they start, how they spread, the science that lets us understand them, and how we race to destroy them before they destroy us. (I would have to get the major plank out of my eye in order to ever say anything about the splinter in hers. Not that I could ever condemn a girlfriend for running behind. She wasn’t sure this was actually happening? Hadn’t we just confirmed the time where we were meeting just a few hours before? I took a short sip of dark roast coffee and clinked my white porcelain cup back into its saucer feeling a little perplexed. “I wasn’t sure that this was actually happening.” I watched as she swept her blonde hair across her shoulder, plunked her overstuffed bag on the floor beside her and sat down with a little huff.
