Out There Screaming: An Anthology of New Black Horror, edited by Jordan Peele and John Joseph Adams, is a starred horror selection. "While some readers might be drawn to this book by Peele’s star power, this is a well-crafted anthology that’s perfect for introducing readers to emerging and established Black authors." In performing arts Screen Style, by Marnie Fogg, is a starred selection. "Perceptive observations and a vast fashion vocabulary that may have even die-hard fashionistas scrambling for their dictionaries are perfect accessories.
