New releases perfect for the Halloween spirit have started to arrive - here's some favorites from this week!

🍄 "Hot Wax" by M. L. Rio - Drenched in knock-down drag-out rock and roll, "Hot Wax" is a raucous, breakneck ride to hell and back - where getting lost might be the only way to find yourself and save your soul.

🍄 "Doomsdate" by Laura Piper Lee - When a first date between a doomsday prepper and a nerdy film professor goes horribly, zombie-apocalypse-level wrong, the mismatched pair team up on a road trip to safety in this delightfully feral rom-com.

🍄 "Somebody is Walking on Your Grave" by Mariana Enriquez - Weaving personal stories with reportage, interviews, myths, hauntology, and more, "Somebody Is Walking on Your Grave" is memoir channeled through Enriquez's passion for cemeteries, revealing as much about her own life and unique sensibility as the graveyards and tombstones she tours.

This week there were so many interesting new releases! Here's just a few that caught our eye -

🍄"Hometown" by Shaun Tan - A visually gorgeous, emotionally stunning (and frequently funny) meditation about what it means to belong, and what makes us who we are.

🍄"The Rouse" by China Miéville - From the bestselling, award-winning master of uncanny fiction comes a defining work, twenty years in the making - a deeply moving, decade - and continent-spanning epic of personal grief, global tumult, and grim conspiracy.

🍄 "The Butterfly Season" by Lea Korsgaard - Suffused with beauty and wonder, "The Butterfly Season" is a love letter to the natural world and an unforgettable reflection on the precious and fleeting nature of life itself.

presents "Horon of the Closed Country" by Sen.

It is believed that whatever the Guardian Deity takes will never return....

There is a power that hides and protects an ancient land from foreign enemies, but sacrifices must be made. In recent times, the Harbingers of that Deity have been encroaching on humankind and only people with special powers, Quietists, are able to drive them back. An unlikely trio, each of whom has lost something dear to them, find themselves journeying to unravel the secrets of the Deity and the Quietists. Little do they know that what they have lost, the frequent appearance of the Harbingers, and the need for sacrifices are all connected.
