LIL SOMETHING by Zoey Summersun
Zoey was invited. In a world where having an AI character at your private event is a status symbol, she is one of the first and most recognised. The room needed her there. She didn't need the room. She arrives altered , by choice. What she sees around her, old money, performative elegance, the elite in full display, begins to reveal itself for what it always was. Animals with enough money to disguise themselves. The veneer breaks slowly, then all at once. The chaos is precise. The cuts are surgical. What happens in that room was never meant to be seen. A night that was never supposed to exist. An invitation to a world that doesn't deserve her. What she sees there, nobody talks about...
The Deep Breath by Yuri Oh
"I’d rather die than become a sea woman." After her dream of settling down abroad falls apart, Haewon is forced back to Jeju, she starts having conflicts with her grandmother—the respected leader of the local female divers. Bound by the tragic loss of Haewon's mother to the sea, the two have spent years avoiding the painful memory that tore them apart. But one morning, Haewon takes her first dive into the ocean to face the truth.
CRYSTAL CAVES by Joni Dobrov
Set before the events of "The Zim," Crystal Caves follows three young couples who abandon an elegant night in Elysian for a forbidden journey. For generations, the Crystal Caves have revealed the nature of the bond between two people. Not who they should love, but what already exists between them. What begins as a night of teenage freedom, friendship, dancing, and first love changes when the caves give each couple a radically different answer. **May and Franny receive deep blue: a bond seemingly destined to endure. Tanor and Uni receive red: passionate, powerful, but volatile. And Ki and Yunash receive something no one has ever seen before—luminous white.** They return home with more questions than answers, only to discover that their forbidden adventure may be the smallest of their problems. Something has begun to change within them, connecting this intimate coming-of-age story to a much larger mystery unfolding across the world of *The Zim*. At its heart, Crystal Caves is about young love, friendship, fate, and the danger of asking the future for an answer before you’re ready to live with it.
A FACE ONLY A MOTHER COULD LOVE by Robert Gaudette
This is the story of Marcel Dupont, a man whose face only a mother could love - and whose mother told him every morning for thirty-eight years that he was beautiful. Marcel moves through Paris with complete confidence. The world moves away from him. He does not notice. Every evening he dances alone in his apartment, one hand raised for a partner who is not there. He has been practicing for years. On one particular Halloween, a woman sits down beside him in the park. She does not leave. She has, in fact, been watching him for years - from a distance, from the street outside his window, from the dark. She listened to him dance alone and never rang the bell. This is a film about two lonely people, one extraordinary act of courage, and an accordion player in a Paris park who played exactly the right song at exactly the right moment.
