City of Nightmares by Rebecca Schaeffer

In order to prove herself in the maybe-a-cult Friends of the Restful Soul, 19-year-old Ness cons her way into what’s supposed to be a simple job for the organization—only for it to blow up in her face.

Bloodbath Nation by Paul Auster

souls speak

Eighty thousand wounded and forty thousand dead, or one hundred and twenty thousand ambulance calls and emergency room cases for every twelve-month tick of the clock, but the toll of gun violence goes far beyond the pierced and bloodied bodies of the victims themselves. However, with the vast brigade of lives touched by the presence of a single person who lives or has lived among them- the number of Americans directly or indirectly marked by gun violence every year must be tallied in the millions.

In the Upper Country by Kai Thomas
