Elixir for Wanderlust: A Romantasy
Having once escaped the dark waters that cursed him, a young witch returns home to face the evil targeting his loved ones--whatever the consequences.
After almost a decade away, Taliesin Ashborne has come home to attend his grandfather's funeral. While past tensions still linger between him and his family, a stiff drink and a steamy encounter with Kessian, the gorgeous man who approaches him at the wake, really takes the edge off.
But the old magic of Shearwater Spring has left more scars on Tal than he realized. Nine years ago, twenty-four townspeople, including Tal and his father, mysteriously walked into a deep river one night--and only Tal returned.
To this day, something dangerous lurks in Shearwater's black waters. It's hunting down everyone Tal loves, and after it got his twin, he couldn't stand to lose anyone else. Hoping to rid him of this curse once and for all, his sibling Fae urges him to see the town's new healer . . . who just so happens to be Kessian.
Trying to keep his emotions in check--for not only his own benefit but also Kessian's safety--will be anything but easy for Tal after nine years of isolation. Now, with a wraith hot on his trail, he must uncover what corrupted the ancient magic of the river so he can finally come home for good.

Sold outReading with Jane Austen
Jane Austen has more readers today than at any time in history. Many of Austen's legions of fans, however, came to her novels after first seeing films or other adaptations made for twenty-first-century audiences. Austen herself conversely spent her literary career undermining romantic clichés and rethinking novel conventions. Confident that she and her contemporaries shared a common reading culture, Austen deliberately constructed her novels to set readerly expectations, only to disrupt or confound those expectations by challenging her readers' assumptions and values. In Reading with Jane Austen, Elaine Bander carefully rereads the great author's novels--beginning with her late work of juvenilia, "Catharine, or The Bower," and ending with her final fragment, "Sanditon"--against the rich context of late Georgian literary and intellectual culture. In doing so, Bander invites us into the transformative experience that Austen intentionally designed for her earliest readers, adding new layers of appreciation for those who love her work.

Bourgeois Coldness
'Bourgeois coldness refers to an affective strategy that offers an explanation for how self-preservation works. Bourgeois coldness is one of the most advanced affective and aesthetic forms of preserving the structure of the colonial status quo. It creates an affective shelter in the world, unencroached upon by the immediate consequences of its many catastrophes. It functions like air conditioning - a complex technology which reliably stabilises the climate until those inside consider it natural. Bourgeois spaces - institutional and affective - stay cool and pleasant. But outside it's burning.' - Henrike Kohpeiss
Canonical critical theory by Adorno and Horkheimer enters a dialogue with Black studies through Hartman and Moten.
'Foregrounding affect, this timely book provides an inestimable philosophical argument for the centrality of Blackness in critical examinations of capitalism's violence.' -Denise Ferreira da Silva
'Elegant and erudite in equal measure, this book will stand as a landmark diagnosis of the practices of denial in our time.' -Andreas Malm -
Sold outWhat Am I, a Deer?
With astonishing existential acuity, Polly Barton's formidable debut novel renders the paradoxes of modern life in all its complexity, in deliriously self-conscious prose that is at once propulsive, titillating and bitingly funny.What does it mean to lose yourself - and is that something you should be aiming for? A young woman with little interest in games takes up a job in Frankfurt at a famous gaming company, naively set on reinvention. On her morning commute, in the familiar clutches of tedium and self-loathing, she encounters a nice-eyed stranger who returns her forgotten umbrella and finds herself catapulted into a dizzying, year-long whirlwind of obsession - not just with this endlessly attractive spectre, but also with the feverish karaoke trips from which she draws the ultimate solace. With astonishing existential acuity, Polly Barton's formidable debut novel renders the paradoxes of modern life in all its complexity, in deliriously self-conscious prose that is at once propulsive, titillating and bitingly funny. Echoing with the sounds of Whitney Houston and The Cure, reaching for the sublime in dark, sweaty boxes, What Am I, A Deer? is an exhilarating exploration of authenticity, fantasy, romance and intoxication.

Aside from My Heart, All Is Well
His biggest book since Oblivion, Héctor Abad's humane voice buoys the spirit and reminds us of the value of human connection and the power of art. "Mr. Abad's prose is elastic and alive . . . [His writing] is extravagantly big-hearted."-- Dwight Garner on Oblivion, The New York Times Luis Cordóba, also known as Gordo, leads an unconventional life. His vocation as a priest has not stopped him from becoming a film critic, teacher, opera enthusiast, and passionate nibbler of chocolate and pepperoni. He lives in his childhood home in downtown Medellín with another priest, Aurelio Sánchez, or Lelo, among a slew of pets (war-mongering fish, a toucan, and parakeets aren't the half of it). It is Lelo who shades in these details, writing across time to the day in 1996 when life changed. At fifty, Gordo learns he needs a heart transplant. He is forbidden from climbing stairs, and so he moves into a different neighborhood with a friend, her housekeeper, and their children. With the briskness of sunshine drying out wet clothes, and air rushing through and renewing old places, Lelo reflects on Gordo's new era of thinking and feeling. Luis Cordóba is inspired by the life of the priest and film critic Luis Alberto Alvarez, a friend of Héctor Abad's, and an important figure in Colombian cultural spheres. To keep Aside from My Heart, All is Well from becoming a biography, Abad drew on a range of sources to conjure up Cordóba, a person who both is and is not Alberto Alvarez. -

Splashed Things
"In my new life, I must learn everything again," begins Splashed Things, Leigh Lucas's dark humored and deeply moving debut that examines the chaotic terrain of grief following the suicide of a former boyfriend. With startling honesty and emotional precision, these poems tell the story of a woman in her twenties navigating loss, from the funeral service and her dead-end job, to her therapist's office and the subways of New York City, revealing the way her beloved's death infiltrates every corner of her life.
The speaker searches for traces of the departed in unlikely places--the physics of splashes, the history of seasickness, the science of depression--while confronting the limitations of elegy and the futility of trying to contain sorrow in words. Splashed Things is not a neat arc toward healing, but a testimony to the unwieldy shape of mourning and the persistence of love in its wake.
Selected by Maya C. Popa as winner of the A. Poulin, Jr. Poetry Prize for its emotional courage, inventive language, and haunting beauty, Leigh Lucas's Splashed Things marks the arrival of a powerful new voice in contemporary poetry.
