Liquid Snakes: A Novel
by Stephen KearseFinalist for the Libby Book AwardsWhat if toxic pollutants traveled up the socioeconomic ladder rather than down it? A Black biochemist provides an answer in this wildly original novel of pollution, poison, and dark pleasureIn Atlanta, Kenny Bomar is a biochemist-turned-coffee-shop-owner in denial about his divorce and grieving his stillborn daughter. Chemicals killed their child, leaching from a type of plant the government is hiding in Black neighborhoods. Kenny&’s coping mechanisms are likewise chemical and becoming more baroque—from daily injections of lethal snake venom to manufacturing designer drugs. As his grief turns corrosive, it taints every person he touches.Black epidemiologists Retta and Ebonee are called to the scene when a mysterious black substance is found to have killed a high school girl. Investigating these &“blackouts&” sends the women down separate paths of blame and retribution as two seemingly disparate narratives converge in a cinematic conclusion.Liquid Snakes is an immersive, white-knuckle ride with the spookiness of speculative fiction and the propulsion of binge-worthy shows like FX&’s Atlanta and HBO&’s Random Acts of Flyness. Transfiguring a whodunit plot into a labyrinthine reinterpretation of a crime procedural, Stephen Kearse offers an uncanny commentary on an alternative world, poisoned.

Brite masterfully shakes equal parts ambition, scandal, cocaine, and murder, and serves Liquor straight up, with a twist.

Lirio Tigre de Bangkok: Cuando florecen las semillas de la venganza (Lirio Tigre de Bangkok #1)
by Owen JonesLirio Tigre de Bangkok Cuando florecen las semillas de la venganza Lily nació en una tranquila aldea al noreste de Tailandia, cerca del Río Mekong y en la frontera con Laos, en una familia china, propietarios de una tienda. Ella tuvo una infancia muy feliz, hasta que, a la edad de once años un viejo amigo de la familia, que ayudaba a sus padres en la tienda, comenzó a abusar de ella. A ella le tomó dos años encontrar una solución y ésta surgió de un evento fortuito en el patio de su escuela. Ella vio una película porno que algunos muchachos estaban mirando en su iPad, y que tenía que ver con sexo oral. La siguiente vez que él la tocó, ella le ofreció hacer lo que había visto en la película. El hombre no despreció la oportunidad. Lily le arrancó el pene y se lo dio a comer a sus gallinas en el patio. No obstante, esto solo convirtió una forma de tormento en otra, porque la gente ahora la rechazaba, impactada por lo que ella había sido capaz de hacer. Ella se convirtió en una marginada y contaba los días en que ella pudiera tener la oportunidad de irse a estudiar en Bangkok, usando el dinero que le dieron como compensación del abuso que había sufrido. Ella no conocía a nadie en Bangkok y no estaba acostumbrada a las grandes ciudades, así que comenzó a rondar a una variedad de hombres, a quienes iba por compañía y por el dinero, ya que le quedó claro que lo que ella tenía era una fortuna en su aldea, pero no era suficiente para cubrir sus años de universidad. Ella tenía cuatro novios regulares, pero no le gustaba ninguno de ellos y sospechaba que algunos era pervertidos también, porque a ellos les gustaba vestirla como a una colegiala, un papel que podía asumir con facilidad porque ella era en cierto modo pequeña y delgada. Fácilmente podía pasar por una chica de trece sin maquillaje, incluso cuando tenía dieciocho años. A la mayoría de sus novios les
