Kelly McWilliams released her YA novel Mirror Girls. Set in a rural haunted Georgia at the height of Jim Crow, it’s about biracial twin sisters separated at birth—one is obviously Black, while the other can pass as white. It’s a brilliant examination of identity, colorism, and familial ties like The Vanishing Half, yet it’s the rare gothic horror novel that seamlessly weaves historical fiction.
