![]() ![]() I'm not certain when last I encountered a duo as compelling as Jam and Pet, or a scene as visually riveting as the summoning of Pet from a razor-blade studded canvas in a swirl of blood, smoke, and golden feathers. Jam isn't sure she's the right person for the task - but what choice does she have, when no one else will even admit that there may still be monsters lurking in the shadows? ![]() The creature is called Pet, and it tells Jam that her duty is to help search out the evil that has taken root in Redemption's house. No reason, until a strange and frightening creature crawls out of one of her mother's paintings, intent on hunt down a monster hiding in their midst. That's what Jam has been taught, and she has no reason to doubt it, as she lives a happy life surrounded by her loving parents and her best friend, Redemption. In Akwaeke Emezi's Pet, angels have rid the city of Lucille of all its monsters. ![]() Your purchase helps support NPR programming.

Jeremiah uses this imagery for judgment against Israel: “I am now sending for many fishermen, says the Lord, and they shall catch them… For my eyes are on all their ways they are not hidden from my presence… I will doubly repay their iniquity and their sin, because they have polluted my land with the carcasses of their detestable idols, and have filled my inheritance with their abominations (Jeremiah 16:16-18). He diverges from the typical evangelistic sermon because he sees the image of “fishers of men” in the prophets. Rather than an evangelistic call to bring people to church, Hays argues that this call is to carry news of God’s judgment on sin. Hays caught my attention with his figural reading of the phrase “fishers of men.” As Hays works his way through the four gospels (and Acts, here and there), he demonstrates a way of reading Scripture called “figural reading.” Whether or not you’re familiar with figural reading, Hays shows how this method can help you see the riches of Scripture, especially in passages you’ve read before. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() He won a special World Fantasy Award in 1981, the Best Artist Award in 1996, and was Guest of Honor at the 1998 convention. ![]() Lovecraft, in 1975 and has served as toastmaster and awards judge for several of the World Fantasy Conventions.
