Cassandra Khaw’s THE LIBRARY AT HELLEBORE is a July Indie Next Pick! Congratulations, Cassandra! “This is the punk rock, eldritch god, carnage-fueled battle royale dark academia that makes partial decapitation look like an amateur sandbox. The Library at Hellebore is more metal than I’ll ever be and too cool for most of you.” ―Olivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six Coming tomorrow to an independent bookstore near you!

The Library of Hellebore starts with a great hook, the idea of a school where all the world’s monsters are educated and redeemed, then shifts into survival horror mode […]

So excited and thrilled to see Murderbot listed on the New York Times Best TV Shows of 2025 So Far!!! ~In this comic sci-fi thriller, based on the novel “All Systems Red” by Martha Wells, Alexander Skarsgard plays a jaded robot that is charged with protecting a crunchy space commune but would rather just watch pulpy soaps. “The real killer app of the story, adapted by Chris and Paul Weitz, is the snarky worldview of the artificial life form at […]

Library Journal: Jumping in time between the survivors’ stand-off and the period before the attack, the back and forth builds out the world of the school, characters, and relationships at the heart of this story while also ratcheting up the urgency and terror. Khaw’s brutal novel is more than an action-packed race against time, it is also an honest, endearing, and emotional ode to friendship, as well as a clever story about power. VERDICT Engaging, visceral, and a lot of […]
