Barlow, a Black actor whose fame in the late 1950s was comparable to Sidney Poitier. He died at the height of his popularity, and years later, the true story of his life—and its untimely end—comes to light. Aaron Touissant was the studio’s “backlot fixer” who kept stars in the closet, and he’s ready to expose the culprits behind Xavier C. Barlow’s tragic story. —Danika Ellis</p>

<p>I am fascinated by ocean life, so this just shot to the top of my TBR. Dr. Jo Ness spends her days working at a tiny aquarium, trying to finish the guide to jellyfish she was co-writing with her best friend before he died. Then she gets a call from an old friend, Nadia, who says a giant jellyfish is wreaking havoc on the small island off the coast of Maine. When Jo arrives, she finds that each islander has a different story to tell about the jellyfish they’ve named Clementine—but where is Nadia? This is part sea monster mystery, part meditation on grief, part sapphic love story. I can’t wait to dive in! —Danika Ellis</p>

<p>Puck is a nonbinary reality TV producer in this fun and appropriately chaotic Shakespeare-inspired rom-com. They’ve created a hit reality dating show by putting troubled couples through hell over the years, but when their college roommate announces her engagement to another of Puck’s friends, they know this marriage is headed toward disaster. Over the course of a week at an upscale Appalachian resort where the wedding festivities are taking place, Puck secretly rearranges the couples in their friend group. But a determined bridesmaid set on making this wedding happen could upend Puck’s plans—and all their ideas about what makes a happily ever after. —Rachel Brittain</p>

A long-out but more recently pro tennis player is about to be the first gay player to compete in a Grand Slam, and his anxiety gets the best of him. But his tumble leads to a friendly relationship with his new rival, ranked number two in the world. Their time at the US Open is full of possibilities, but what comes next? —Jessica Pryde</p>

<p>In a new twist on the concept of enemies to lovers, lapsed villain Cyrus and golden boy hero Maximillian decide to become fake nemeses. You remember the deal in <em>Dragonheart</em>? They present a problem, have big flashy battles, rake in the spoils, and go about their way to the next chance to profit on fortune and fame. I mean, technically, Draco and Bowen don’t fall in love, but just imagine if they did. Well, these two are both humanoid, so there’s that, but the silly and the serious are balanced in a similar way. It sounds delightful. —Jessica Pryde</p>

<p>Natalia “Nati” Fuentes grew up with a mother who taught her the ways of witchcraft, but she’s put all of that behind her now. Or so she thinks. When she hears rumors that heiress Violeta Miramontes has mysteriously come down with a strange illness, Nati suspects dark magic. Knowing she might be the only one who can help and eager to collect the cash reward for doing so, Nati takes a job as Violeta’s caretaker. But the whole scenario becomes much more complicated when Nati falls in love. —Emily Martin</p>

<p>For the 1980s slasher horror fans, there’s <em>Slasher Summer, </em>a story about seven former high school friends who reunite in their hometown of Cedar Lake Falls. This sleepy town was the shooting location of the cult horror classic <em>Slasher. </em>Now, the friends are staying in the cabin where the film was shot. It’s all fun and games until a real slasher shows up, wearing a mask and hungry for murder. Will the friends’ knowledge of slasher horror movie tropes be enough to save them from a real-life masked killer? —Emily Martin</p>
