All the New Books to Read This November, From Sci-Fi Novels to Memoirs

Debut author Trang Thanh Tran intends to make readers' skin crawl with "She Is a Haunting." Bisexual Vietnamese American 17-year-old Jade Nguyen travels to Vietnam to spend time with her estranged father, hoping that if she performs as the dutiful straight daughter he's always desired, he'll pay for her college tuition. But the French colonial house she's staying in has a sinister energy that gives her sleep paralysis, the horrifying feeling of bugs crawling over her body, and visions of a bride bearing warnings. Jade's investigation into the house's history may uncover dark family secrets she and her family may never recover from.
