The Book of Name Signs: Naming in American Sign Language by Samuel J. Supalla
5.0
Invaluable research. Includes how name signs are not following rules due to many hearing people creating/getting name signs.

The lesson of this book is don't be nice to strange tween boys.
Also, why did the author use so many words I had to look up in a dictionary? I have two master's degrees in English!
Could have had about 20 pages fewer of tree descriptions.

A Christmas Horror Story by Sebastian Gregory

It just doesn't tap into what scares people and often tells instead of shows. Miss connection between the time lines would have been interesting. And it's the creature able to be killed or harmed? It's not clear.
