Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

This will appeal to those with a dark side. In this black and white comic, Burns doesn't let up in his depiction of a sexually-transmitted disease that alienates even the most popular suburban teenagers from their families and "normal" friends in a 1970s Seattle suburb. Other communities form but with an unstable, sinister center. Oddly, no one is concerned about curing the disease. Burns focuses only on effects through a non-linear narrative divided across different character-narrators. I couldn't stop reading it, but know that it won't catch everyone by the lapels.

I was a bit skeptical of this book at first, but a few pages in and I was hooked. Both the storyline and illustrations were stellar and had an impressive flow, which sucked me in and kept me reading. Though fictional, the characters lives strike a depressingly strong note. While their lives spiral downward, putting the book down becomes a trivial pursuit. Needless to say, Black Hole is an eerily apt title for such an enthralling read.
