Books Illuminated has unveiled a curated selection of five compelling book titles for holiday gift-giving, spanning multiple genres to cater to diverse reader interests. The publisher's recommendations include works in supernatural comedy, true crime, science fiction, climate action, and children's adventure, representing the breadth of their current acquisitions.

Guillermo X. Márquez returns with DISPOSSESSED: A Very L.A. Ghost Story, a supernatural comedy novel following his true-crime/horror sensation EVIL'S EDEN: Only Murders in Los Angeles. The new work explores life, love, and loathing in Los Angeles through the story of a boy and a girl encountering a predatory, soul-hungry entity in a decaying house. Márquez describes Los Angeles as a place of unbounded promise rooted in unmitigated evil in this electrifying and humorous holiday reading option.

Márquez's earlier work, EVIL'S EDEN: Only Murders in Los Angeles, examines the seamy underbelly of notorious crimes in Los Angeles history. The book blends chilling true crimes with a disturbing fictional dynasty narrative, offering new perspectives on infamous cases including the Black Dahlia, Little Marion Parker, the Manson killing spree, and the Night Stalker. The author conducted years of research to propose new solutions to these gruesome murders.

Clark Hilton's BAMBOO: A Post-Apocalyptic Odyssey presents a science fiction narrative about 16-year-old Gen's journey from her lonely family farm toward a gleaming utopia, only to be thrust into a brutal, savage domain. The story is framed as folklore from a distant civilization, posing the chilling question of whether humanity is destined for oblivion. Critics have described it as a genre-melding, mind-bending journey through a brutal near future.

Felicia Fairhope makes her non-fiction debut with 2 Weeks 2 Utopia: Let's Mend the World in 14 Days!, a climate-action guide asserting that Earth's climate damage can be reversed with collective effort within two weeks. The book addresses current climate challenges including heat waves, floods, fires, droughts, and storms while providing practical steps readers can implement immediately. The work features inspiring art, poetry, space for personal reflections, and an eco-puzzle to test newly acquired environmental knowledge.

For younger readers, Brother Goose presents The Odd Ms. Bodkins and the Big Crunch in its second edition, featuring three boys and their wand-waving nanny on a cosmic adventure. The children's storybook includes beautiful illustrations by a Disney-trained artist and comes with a bonus crossword puzzle for parents and children to solve together.
