Gatepost
From the author of The Afterlife Project: One woman's quest to find her father pushes her beyond the boundaries of space, time, and the human mind.
Esme Weatherhead was twelve years old when her father, an amateur scientist and the author of a bestselling book on Mesoamerican shamanism, walked into the forest on their rural Vermont property and never came back. Twenty years later, she quit her job in San Francisco, got divorced, and moved back home with the goal of writing a book about her father's life and sudden vanishing.
In the course of her research, Esme uncovers an old field journal that describes a cave on the property she hadn't known about, experiments involving high doses of psilocybin mushrooms, and a series of strangely vivid hallucinations. After searching unsuccessfully for the cave, she hires Lucas St. Pierre, a local geologist, to help her find it.
Now, as they work to unravel the mystery of her father's disappearance, Esme and Lucas must confront hidden forces that will test their sanity and put their safety at risk, ultimately leading to new insights about love, death, and the enduring resilience of life on Earth.
Perfect for fans of Susanna Clarke's Piranesi, Emily St. John Mandel's Sea of Tranquility, and Richard Powers's Bewilderment, Tim Weed's The Gatepost blends modern science and ancient cosmology to take readers on a journey offering hallucinatory glimpses into worlds beyond our own.

Blood Year Daughter
In G.G. Silverman's debut fairytale-horror collection The Blood Year Daughter, a woman builds husbands out of gravel and slaughterhouse feathers, two sisters eat cinnamon-scented pieces of their mother, and a charming doctor's murdered brides whisper warnings to his newest wife.
Silverman's women and girls escape smiling captors, draw blood to curse their loved ones, and wield fear to defend themselves in post-apocalyptic worlds. They ignore the insults of rotting Elderwomen filled with flies, resist marriage proposals, and fill themselves--joyfully--with multitudes of snakes. They are murdered and choose to live again.
Drawing from folktales, Silverman's Italian roots, and killers both real and imagined, The Blood Year Daughter's stories recall Kelly Link and Carmen Maria Machado. Spare and glittering as a spiderweb, sharp as a needle through a husband's nose, they establish G.G. Silverman as a formidable voice in feminist horror and magical realism.

Sold outIntifadas
Winner of 2024 Sarabande 2024 Kathryn A. Morton Prize in Poetry and chosen by Publishers Weekly as one of the Top 10 Poetry collections for Spring 2026, Edward Salem's Intifadas is a subversive collection about Palestinian resistance, liberation and art
Written across Palestine and its diaspora--from Gaza and the West Bank to the United States--Intifadas is a subtly transgressive poetry collection about uprising in its many forms--in art, politics, and in our most personal relationships. Whether by dumping black paint on a park where a tank and fighter jet commemorate a war, or by trying to rescue a moth trapped in a garage, the defiant and resilient voices in this collection subvert traditional narratives of loss. Furious, tender, and darkly funny, Intifadas asks what art can do in the face of catastrophe, and answers with poems that refuse easy consolations.

Lake Effect
Winner of the 2024 Mary McCarthy Prize in Short Fiction, selected by Lauren Groff
A debut collection about the wild and hidden places in nature and the heart
From Seattle to Istanbul, Lake Effect, the debut short story collection by Hillary Behrman, takes you to unmapped mountain ranges, wild urban places and the outskirts of a desert outpost dissecting the many ways we love, labor and isolate ourselves from one another. In these stories characters are rarely headed where they want to be: Paula's real and dream life become indistinguishable. Oliver can't shed the hold of family lore as he negotiates his love affair with Daniel. Siblings, Alex and Marcie, are comforted and scraped raw by intimacy as they traverse the years from juvenile vandalism to a labor and delivery gone terribly wrong. Miles searches for his mother in a homeless encampment beneath a maze of freeways. These stories exist at the intersection of social isolation and fierce intimacies and call into question the limits of our well-intentioned efforts to care for each other.

Heal Your Love-Hate Relationship with Food: An Intuitive Eating and Internal Family Systems Workbook
A "game-changing" approach to transform your relationship with food and feel truly comfortable in your own body.
Do you mindlessly eat when you're feeling sad, bored, or stressed? Or perhaps you deny yourself food in order to feel more in control of yourself and your body? Intuitive Eating is a revolutionary, anti-diet approach to health and eating that focuses on the body's natural cues of hunger and fullness. But in order to fully transform your relationship with food, it is essential to understand why you use food as a coping mechanism. This workbook can help you get started.
This workbook offers the "next step" in Intuitive Eating--internal family systems (IFS) therapy--to help you heal the "parts" of yourself that use food or eating restriction for comfort, and transform your relationship with food and your body, once and for all. By combining the insight of IFS with the evidence-based practice of Intuitive Eating, you'll learn to approach food and mealtime with self-compassion and self-awareness. Most importantly, you'll identify and work through the underlying cause of your emotional or disordered eating.
With this compassionate guide, you'll:
- Heal the root cause of emotional eating
- Reject diet culture and fad eating habits
- Listen to your body's natural hunger cues
- Make peace with food and your body
- Reclaim a sense of wholeness
If you're ready to move beyond emotional eating, stop stressing about food, ditch diet culture, and develop unwavering respect for your body, this book will help you get started today.

Astrological Ages and the Galactic Center: Ancient Wisdom for This Time of Transition (Edition, Revised of Finding Our Center)
Our movement into the Age of Aquarius and higher consciousness - Explores the 24,000-year precessional cycle and the cultural shifts that accompany the different ages - Shows how the energies of the cosmos are guiding us into new paradigms of thought, new ways of being, and higher levels of consciousness - Discusses the interface between the precessional cycle and the Hindu Yuga cycle and the meaning of the profound shift that we in at this time We are approaching the end of a 24,000-year precessional cycle and, according to ancient traditions, on the cusp of a new age. While this time of transition can lead to an evolutionary leap for humanity, it can also bring inevitable challenges for those who resist. Astrologer and clinical psychologist Heather Ensworth shows that we live in a sentient universe where the energies of the cosmos are guiding us through this transition and into new paradigms of thought, new ways of being, and higher levels of consciousness. By embracing these changes we can navigate the turmoil of transformation into a new age of love, harmony, and a greater awareness of our interconnectedness. Ensworth suggests that the precessional motion that causes the astrological ages is not due to a wobble in the Earth's axis but to the possibility that our sun is part of a binary star system, which astronomers have found are more common in the Milky Way galaxy than previously believed. The author also teaches us how to realign with the galactic center--our source--by becoming centered within and harmonizing with the changing cosmos to bring us a deeper sense of meaning and stability. The transition into a new age does not need to be a dramatic change that simply happens to us. This book shows how we can remember our origins, find our center, and navigate this changing age with clarity and intention.Sold out -

Tampa's Gasparilla Pirate Festival
Pirate history, costumes, and decorated boats and ships have been the center of the famed Gasparilla Pirate Festival for over a century.
Since 1904, Ye Mystic Krewe of Gasparilla has staged an annual mock pirate invasion of Tampa, Florida, a tradition that has become known as Gasparilla. The name of the event originated from stories and tales regarding Gasparilla, a legendary pirate who reportedly roamed the Gulf of Mexico on Florida's west coast in the early 1800s.
The sound of cannon fire heard for miles across the Tampa Bay area signals the arrival of the José Gasparilla ship and the beginning of the piratical invasion of Tampa. Thousands of spectators line the waterways to watch the ship and massive boat flotilla make their way to dock at the Tampa Convention Center.
Following the traditional demand for the keys to the city, a parade is staged, the third-largest one-day parade in the country. Tampa's iconic Bayshore Boulevard is lined with several hundred thousand spectators, krewes, and other participants who produce a spectacular parade.
The history committee of Ye Mystic Krewe of Gasparilla has provided the historical references for the book, and photographic materials have been obtained from leading institutions, including the Tampa-Hillsborough County Public Library System, the State of Florida Archives, and the University of South Florida Library Special Collections.

Queens of Society: Six Extraordinary Society Hostesses Between the Wars
In the aristocratic circles of early twentieth-century London, the company was as starched as the tablecloths. But a revolution was on the horizon, in the form of six remarkable society hostesses who would change the political, social, and cultural landscape of Britain forever.
Some of these "queens of society," like Lady Sibyl Colefax, were born into high society. Others, like Edinburgh-born Mrs. Ronnie Greville, clambered their way to the top by any means necessary. Lady Nancy Astor and Lady Edith Londonderry were political creatures, becoming, respectively, the first female MP ever elected and the head of the Women's Legion. Lady Emerald Cunard, meanwhile, cultivated artists and royals, playing a pivotal role in Edward VIII's relationship with Wallis Simpson and igniting a scandal that would shake Britain. And American Laura Corrigan just liked a damned good party--the more extravagant, the better.
In an age when the place of women was uncertain, becoming a hostess was not a chore, but a career choice, and these six women presided over London from their dining tables and salons--charming, scheming, and mingling their way through two world wars, the Great Depression, an abdication, a coronation, and an upheaval in class structures that would bring their world to its knees. With a glittering cast of players from the Mitfords to the Mosleys, from millionaires to maharajahs, from film stars to royalty, Queens of Society is the witty, warm, and fascinating story of six women whose influence can still be felt today.
