If you loved reading @richardvancamp.bsky.social's ROTH (@renegadeartsent.bsky.social) as much as we did this month, check out 5 follow-up reads we’ve found that are as thought-provoking as they are frightening. alllitup.ca/alu-summer-b...

An All Lit Up graphic that reads "Summer book club: the summer of strange" and "What to read next." The cover of Richard Van Camp's ROTH is on the right side of the graphic. There is an arrow from the top of the cover pointing to the covers of five other books. The books are ONE SOFT INFESTED SUMMER, WHEETAGO WAR STORIES, NOWHERE, ZEGAAJIMO, & CLOSE ON A FULL MOON.

"A zombie-survival story that's as much about sympathy for the monster as it is for the survivors." We had too many frighteningly good things to say about @richardvancamp.bsky.social's ROTH (@renegadeartsent.bsky.social). Check out the highlights from our discussion at: alllitup.ca/alu-summer-b...

In the centre, the graphic reads "All Lit Up Summer Book Club Staff Chat" against a background of mildly transparent tree silhouettes and a green-yellow background. Along the top and bottom of the graphic are photos of the ALU team holding their copies of ROTH.

In August we're reading ROTH by Richard Van Camp & Christopher Shy (@renegadeartsent.bsky.social), a graphic novel that is part survival thriller, part Indigenous horror set in a northern Alberta overrun by the terrifying Wheetago.

This graphic includes a yellow background with a forest silhouette along the bottom, with the cover of ROTH by Richard Van Camp & Christopher Shy on the right side and a blurb reviewing the book on the left side.

One of the many real tragedies about the slow rolling decimation of comic book journalism is that comic news and reviews sites drove a lot of conversation about books and beyond a handful of big IP books and big name creators it increasingly feels like you're just releasing a comic into the void.
