Sundown Girls
by L. S. Stratton
When sixteen-year-old Naomi Ward and her family head to a secluded cabin in the Shenandoah Valley for summer vacation they don't know the small, mountain town of Sparksburg, Virginia has a dark and twisted past. But when they arrive, Naomi can't shake the feeling that something about Sparksburg just isn't right--and it smells god awful, but for some reason Naomi is the only who can smell the town's stench. When she learns Sparksburg had once been a Sundown Town--a town where Black people weren't allowed after sunset lest they be murdered--Naomi's unease starts to make sense. When Naomi decides to track the disappearance of two girls herself, she becomes suspicious of a local man who has kindled fear in Naomi more than once. She soon learns he has a connection to one of the missing girls. But to save the missing girls, she'll have to finally face her own past trauma as a missing girl as she finds herself in a fight for survival.

I Don't Wish You Well
by Jumata Emill
Five years ago, the infamous Trojan murders turned the small town of Moss Pointe, Louisiana into a living nightmare. Four teen boys--all star players on Moss Pointe High's football team--were murdered one after the other by a Trojan-mask wearing killer. Eventually, the murderer was unmasked. But the community has never forgotten--and some folks in town still wonder whether the police got it right. Eighteen-year-old Pryce Cummings is one of them. An aspiring journalist, Pryce is pretty sure he just stumbled upon evidence that throws the killer's guilt into question. It's the perfect story for his own podcast, and a reason to go back to the hometown he's avoided since coming to terms with his sexuality while at college. But in Moss Pointe, digging into the past is anything but welcome. There's so much more to what happened there five years ago, and Pryce is ready to crack it all wide open . . . if he lives to tell the tale.
