JulyLove zombies but tired of the same old undead tropes? Then this next-level literary twist on the genre is definitely for you. It transpires over three days and, like Cormac McCarthy’s The Road, mixes gritty action into what is, at heart, a larger meditation on perseverance and loss. Yes, Whitehead frequently leans on big words and provocative asides, but the sum is ultimately quite satisfying.

AugustThis is the surreal-yet-true story of mayhem and murder on the remote Pacific Palmyra Atoll in 1974. Bugliosi makes you feel like you’re actually there — you can feel the tension, the humidity, the burning sand, and the desperation of strangers stranded together on an island, with an ex-con and psychopath among them.

SeptemberI literally tried to put this book down and, five minutes later, picked it back up to finish it. If you haven’t seen the movie, Rosemary and her hubby, Guy, move into a new apartment building and all sorts of weird stuff starts happening to them. If you haveseen the movie, don’t worry about the book ruining it. The story is just as exciting and, if anything, you just end up just more sure that Mia Farrow was cast perfectly. :)
