You're listening to all the backlist, a weekly show about books that are not new. I'm your host Tears of Price and this is episode 256.5 and this week I'm going to be diving into the stacks to talk about two fun novels that play with history.

But first let's hear from our sponsor.

Today's episode is brought to you by We Are the Crisis, the moving sequel to No Gods No Monsters.

The long-awaited sequel to No Gods No Monsters from award-winning author Cadwell Turnbull,

We Are the Crisis, sees humans and monsters clash

as civil rights collide with preternatural forces.

So the world has undergone many changes

in the last few years.

Humans and monsters clash daily, members of Rebecca's pack go missing, and two

ancient orders escalate their conflict as dangerous secrets are revealed.

So the book explores incredibly culturally relevant tough topics through the lens of mythical othering.

It also draws on little known myths due to the author's own heritage of the US Virgin Islands

with a heavy influence from Caribbean folklore.

I don't know about you, but I love folklore. I don't know about you but I love

folklore I love encountering new folklore and I'm not super familiar with

Caribbean folklore so I'm excited to read this. It's also told backward and forward in time as events escalate and

unravel. We are the crisis is a brilliant contemporary fantasy that takes readers

on an immersive and thrilling journey. Make sure to pick it up.

And thanks again to We Are the Crisis,

the moving sequel to No Gods No Monsters,

for sponsoring this episode.

Today's episode is brought to you by Gallery Books. I'm super excited to talk about this next one.
