My Beautiful Colors By: Nyibol Bior When she first walked into an American high school as a substitute teacher, Nyibol Bior was bullied for being black, and My Beautiful Colors was originally a chapter in her autobiography as a section meant to educate the world that she’s black for a reason. Sudan means "land of the blacks" in Arabic, and this region has one of the hottest climates on the planet, so it's no wonder her creator made her black, to ensure her skin color protected her from the sun. She could not just write about how black is beautiful because it is not the only color she’s attracted to, and she could not just stick to the trauma that war brought upon her because her presence as an alien in the United States left many curious. Using various colors metaphorically, Nyibol describes the events of the Sudan's Second Civil War, the life that preceded and followed it, along with her vision as a survivor of it. Colors have multiple and opposite meanings, and it's up to her what side of the description she wants to be on, the way it's up to her to treat herself and others with respect and dignity. If the red form of hate is introduced, then she will find a way to make red the color of love before it.

The Twilight Zone meets black comedy in this supernatural revenge parody from the “smart, funny, and unique” Emmy-winning writer of Veep (Neil Gaiman) When an aspiring writer—and well-known jerk—plagiarizes a book only he seems to remember, he’s dogged by consequences straight out of a horror novel It is March 1979 in DeKalb Illinois. Todd Milstead is a wannabe writer, a serial adulterer, and a jerk—only tolerated by his friends because he throws the best parties with the best booze. During one such party, Todd shows off his perfect recall, quoting poetry and literature word for word plucked from his eidetic memory. When he begins quoting from a book no one else seems to know, a novel called All My Colors, Todd is incredulous. He can quote it from cover to cover—and yet it doesn't seem to exist. With a looming divorce and mounting financial worries, Todd finally tries to write a novel, with the vague idea of making money from his talent. The only problem is he can't write. But the book—All My Colors—is there in his head. Todd makes a decision: he will “write” this book that nobody but him can remember. After all, if nobody’s heard of it, how can he get into trouble? As the dire consequences of his actions come home to both Todd and his long-suffering friends, it becomes clear that there is a high—and painful—price to pay for his crime.
