| Reviews WEB-FIRST REVIEWS OF BOOKS AND MEDIA  Meg Waite Clayton's The Last Train to London is one of this week's starred fiction titles. "With its well-developed characters and race-against-the-clock plot, this fantastic novel should have broad appeal, especially with fans of historical fiction and thrillers." Wonderland: An Anthology, edited by Marie O’Regan and Paul Kane, is another starred fiction selection. "This collection is not to be missed. Highly recommended for [Alice's Adventures in] Wonderland aficionados as well as general fans of fantasy, sf, and horror." In nonfiction, Camilla Townsend's Fifth Sun: A New History of the Aztecs is "recommended for college students and academics with an interest in history, Latin American history, Aztec history, and Mexico’s colonial past." Leila Taylor's debut nonfiction title, Darkly: Black History and America’s Gothic Soul, offers readers "a rare glimpse into American gothic from an African American perspective."
