A teen girl hiding the scars of a past relationship finds home and healing in the words of strong Black writers. A beautiful sophomore novel from a critically acclaimed author and poet that explores how words have the power to shape and uplift our world even in the midst of pain. "A true embodiment of the term Black Girl Magic.” –Booklist When Darius told Angel he loved her, she believed him. But five weeks after the incident, Angel finds herself in Brooklyn, far from her family, from him, and from the California life she has known. Angel feels out of sync with her new neighborhood. At school, she can’t shake the feeling everyone knows what happened—and that it was her fault. The only place that makes sense is Ms. G’s class. There, Angel’s classmates share their own stories of pain, joy, and fortitude. And as Angel becomes immersed in her revolutionary literature course, the words from Black writers like Toni Morrison, James Baldwin, and Zora NEale Hurston speak to her and begin to heal the wounds of her past. This stunning novel weaves together prose, poems, and vignettes to tell the story of Angel, a young woman whose past was shaped by domestic violence but whose love of language and music and the gift of community grant her the chance to find herself again.

Graham Sharpe's vinyl love affair began in the 1960s and since then he has amassed over 3000 LPs and spent countless hours visiting record shops worldwide along with record fairs, car boot sales, online and real-life auctions. After leaving his job at William Hill, his retirement dream was to visit every surviving second-hand record shop across the world. Vinyl Countdown followed his journey to over a hundred shops across the globe and the adventures he accrued along the way, from Amsterdam and Angus, to Bedfordshire and Budapest, Tennessee and Wellington. Now, ON THE RECORDs: Notes from the Vinyl Revival explores the impact of recent global events on the record industry and considers the reasons why vinyl remains a beloved &– and booming &– format. Far from being yesterday's fading, forgotten format, vinyl records have survived and flourished as the music medium of choice for not only baby-boomers, but all ages. Every record a collector acquires comes with a story of its own, and the recent Covid-19 lockdowns prompted many vinylholics, including Sharpe, to look more closely at their reasons for collecting, take stock of existing collections and rediscover old favourites. ON THE RECORDs: Notes from the Vinyl Revival includes interviews and contributions from voices across the record industry &– shop owners, record company insiders, online/postal sellers, auction organisers, market traders of vinyl, amateur collectors &– who share their stories with candour, warmth and humour. A mesmerising blend of memoir, travel, music and social history that will appeal to anyone who vividly recalls the first LP they bought and any music fan who derives pleasure from the capacity that records have for transporting you back in time.

The story of Earth’s last war starts with Hope’s sticky fingers… The multiple award-winning Batwoman team of J. H. WILLIAMS III (Promethea, The Sandman: Overture, Batman) and W. HADEN BLACKMAN (Star Wars, Elektra) reunites! They’re joined once again by colorist supreme DAVE STEWART and master letterer TODD KLEIN. In a bizarre future world that has forgotten its history, reckless thief Hope Redhood holds the key to excavating its dark, strange past―if only she and her crew can escape a tyrannical wizard and his unstoppable daughter. But fate will send them all on a path leading to a war between worlds. ECHOLANDS is a landscape-format, mythic-fiction epic where anything is possible―a fast-paced genre mashup adventure that combines everything from horror movie vampires, to classic mobsters and cyborg elves, to Roman demigods and retro rocket ships. It’s going to be a helluva ride! Select praise for ECHOLANDS: “Subverts expectations at every turn while building an ever-expanding world. J. H. WILLIAMS III & W. HADEN BLACKMAN have constructed a magical world for their charming characters in ECHOLANDS.” —Comic Book Resources “With a format and style all its own, ECHOLANDS is nearly a brochure for its own potential to be the Next Big Important Comic.” —AIPT “Overflowing in the best way possible… this comic is an explosion of excess and unyielding, chaotic fun.” —Multiversity Comics “A comic you should try based on artwork alone.” —ComicBook.com “A blast of immersive fantastical originality. The story J. H. WILLIAMS III & W. HADEN BLACKMAN have come up with is rife with mystery and suspense, and delivered with masterful precision. Williams and Dave Stewart’s visuals are inconceivably wild and wonderful, matched only by the pair’s other works.” —Monkeys Fighting Robots “It’s every fictional world, each with its own artistic style, intersecting and exploding with JHW3 magic and crackle. I can’t wait to see where he and W. HADEN BLACKMAN are taking us―into a world in which anything can happen, and undoubtedly will.” ―NEIL GAIMAN “So complex and unique and expertly executed it pushes the medium forward in new directions and leads to invigorated interest in the medium of comics itself.” ―ROBERT KIRKMAN “A dazzling, kinetic ride through an exquisitely realized fantasy world, bursting with graphic energy and excitement.” ―DAVE GIBBONS Collects ECHOLANDS #1-6 TRIM SIZE: 11.125" x 7.25"
