Project Mind Control: Sidney Gottlieb, the CIA, and the Tragedy of MKULTRABy John Lisle (St. Martin's)

Shamanism: The Timeless ReligionBy Manvir Singh (Knopf)
You might think that shamanism has very little to do with your life, but Singh’s history makes a persuasive case that the tradition exerts a surprisingly strong influence on the modern world, with its promise of a “raw spirituality” affecting the way religion is practiced and by its appearance in “enlightened” spaces where charismatic leaders use complicated rituals to imply they can predict the future. It’s an illuminating trip worth taking. —Miriam Grossman, religion and self-help reviews editor
The Starving SaintsBy Caitlin Starling (Harper Voyager)
Starling is one of the coolest voices in horror right now. In her latest, the arrival of a bizarre, bee-worshipping religious sect whips the denizens of a fortress in a plague-ravaged kingdom into a feeding frenzy. It's a gory and transfixing phantasmagoria. —Phoebe Cramer, SFF, horror, and romance reviews editor
