Sharp Teeth

Sharp Teeth is an enthralling tale where an ancient race of lycanthropes has survived to the present day, and its numbers are growing. Rival factions are initiating the down-and-out of L.A. into their ranks, bent on domination at any cost.

Caught in the middle is Anthony, a kind-hearted, lovesick dogcatcher, and the object of his affection: a female werewolf who has abandoned her pack. Anthony has no idea she's more than she seems, and she wants to keep it that way. Her efforts to protect her secret lead to murderous results.

Blending dark humor and epic themes with card-playing dogs, crystal meth labs, surfing, and carne asada tacos, Sharp Teeth captures the pace and feel of a graphic novel while exploring themes of identity, community, love, and death.

Mama Day

1989

by Gloria Naylor

Mama Day is a fascinating novel that reworks elements of Shakespeare's The Tempest. On the island of Willow Springs, off the Georgia coast, the powers of healer Mama Day are tested by her great niece, Cocoa, a stubbornly emancipated woman endangered by the island's darker forces.

This powerful generational saga is at once tender and suspenseful, overflowing with magic and common sense. It's the story of Ophelia and George, two Black Americans, and how they fall in love while trying to reconcile their differences of upbringing and culture. It's about the dying culture of Gullah on the Georgia sea islands.

Told from multiple perspectives, Mama Day is equal parts star-crossed love story, generational saga, and exploration of the supernatural. It is the kind of book that stays with you long after the final page.
