REVIEW: Gazing into the Shadows from The Crossroads at Midnight
The Crossroads at Midnight collects five short stories by Abby Howard, whose previous publications were educational science comics and the young adult dark fantasy adventure The Last Halloween.

A Black Girl’s Self-Love Shines Bright in Stargirl: Summer School
I love a story that sits at the intersection of superheroes and teens. These characters are at a time in their lives when they’re trying to figure out who they are as a person and what they want out of the world, while also juggling the responsibility of powers, fighting dangerous foes, and protecting those…
