What to read this weekend: In Wild Dark Shore, a family guards secrets and a doomsday seed vault

This week, we read Charlotte McConaghy's Wild Dark Shore and got caught up with Let This One Be a Devil, a cryptid-focused miniseries by James Tynion IV, Steve Foxe and Piotr Kowalski.

I couldn’t help thinking of The Lighthouse at times while reading this, as the characters grappled with the elements, isolation, suspicion and their complicated feelings toward each other, on top of grief stemming from their personal losses.
