The Mary Sue Book Club October Edition: Season of the Witch

The pumpkin spice is in full brew, our inner goth is now an outer experience, and Halloween movie marathons will be the norm until November 1st—but that doesn't mean we stop reading. Now, I know this isn't list of horror books (that's coming, don't you fret), but these are some of the exciting titles coming out, this month most of them science fiction/fantasy. Of course, there is a dash of romance, because Halloween doesn't mean you can't enjoy a little intense eye contact. Enjoy!

Why Do Sanders Supporters Think They’re the Sole Arbiters of Whether Marginalized People Are Actually Marginalized?

Elizabeth Warren and Jonathan Van Ness talking and laughing.
Since Jonathan Van Ness’ viral endorsement of Elizabeth Warren, which he justified by citing her Medicare for All plan, a previously slept-on 2016 video of the Queer Eye cast shrugging off Bernie Sanders in favor of Hillary Clinton has resurfaced.
