Akwaeke Emezi is known for their literary flexibility, having already displayed a mastery of fiction, poetry and memoir, but You Made a Fool of Death With Your Beauty is a shock to the system in more ways than one.

R.L. Stine is best known for his kids’ horror series, Goosebumps, and his teen horror series, Fear Street.
