Happy Half Hour (5/13/24)

On this Happy Half Hour, we’re chatting about a reclusive woman who must engage with the community around her when she receives an unwelcome surprise in the mail, a fantasy heist adventure set in a world ruled by dragons, and a YA horror anthology by authors of color who flip traditional horror narratives on their head.
