Bøger af Emily August

Poetry: Emily August's debut explodes our ideas about biraciality and why institutions are larded with violence.This ferocious vision of personal and cultural histories enters us through dark-wooded stories, folkloric in their eerie clarity. This brilliant, heartbreaking book confronts race, power, violence, and how we shape one another, daring us to contemplate what it could mean to "put the fear down."

A small agricultural town in the heart of California awakens one Spring morning to discover they have been forcibly cut off from the outside world. As the town members become sick and die it becomes clear that a pandemic is behind the forced seclusion. As the town divests itself into three competing factions, we follow 16 year old Jeremy Adams on a spiritual quest that takes him through each of the factions.

The thing about magic schools, and maybe schools in general, is there will always be a villain. Sometimes they wear capes and have glowing red eyes and they're very obvious, sometimes they're the quiet kid that has no friends who has plans to blow up the school with everyone inside. At Hallow, their villain was Aiden. The truly scary trait of Aiden was that she wasn't made to be a threat at all.Aiden is a witch, feared by her classmates, in love with her best friend who may also be her antagonist, and a horrible role model for her younger brother who just wants to make everyone happy, including his sister. When the supernatural community is in danger she becomes the unexpected vigilante and sets off with her best friend and little brother to take out the hunters that threaten them, but she mainly does it to escape the boredom of school suspension.
