Praise for Sheena Kalayil:

"An expert novel, The Others is superbly organized, with a steady, tense air of suspense, fine and persuasive emotion, and, above all, truly rich characters alive in a real history. The last pages produced in me a gasp of amazement."

- Jonathan Lethem, Author of 'Motherless Brooklyn', National Book Critics Circle Award winner

'Kalayil's deft prose is both precise and lyrical, vividly conjuring place, time and characters in flux.'

- Joanna Nadin, Sunday Times no 1. bestselling author and Professor of Creative Writing, University of Bristol

'I found it hard to put Sheena Kalayil's fourth novel down, so powerful is the untold story it tells. Yes, The Others is a love story, but it's also magnificently more; I loved the delicate intertwining themes of identity and displacement; setting and historical and political context are incredibly skilfully deployed; but there is also a rare and precious breadth of imagination in the novel. The writing is beautifully confident and flowing, and the characters and their journeys made me cry!'

- Emma Henderson, Author of 'The Valentine House'

With an Introduction by Casey Cep

"A welcome hybrid compendium. . . . reinforces Lee's indelible voice, contributing a rewarding addition and resource to the slim canon of her literary legacy."--Los Angeles Times

From one of America's most beloved authors, a collection of newly discovered short stories, essays, and magazine pieces offering a fresh perspective on the remarkable literary mind of Harper Lee.

In 1960, on the eve of the Civil Rights Movement, when Jim Crow remained law across the American South, Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird was published to great sensation. The novel won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, was adapted into an Academy Award-winning film, and became a landmark in the American literary canon, going on to sell forty million copies. It was followed by Go Set a Watchman, Harper Lee's only other novel--a darker vision of 1950s small-town Alabama, published in 2015 after its rediscovery.

Before she was a literary legend, Harper Lee was a dogged young writer who accompanied her childhood friend Truman Capote to Kansas as he prepared to write In Cold Blood; a moviegoer; a New York City transplant; and a scholar, who wrote humane, thoughtful, wryly comic, and acutely observed essays that ap­peared in top women's magazines, including McCall's and Vogue.

The Land of Sweet Forever combines the short fiction written early in her career with her later nonfiction. These stories and pieces take us from the Alabama schoolyards of Lee's youth to the luncheonettes and movie houses of mid-century Manhattan; they offer Lee's reflections on a wide range of themes, from the responsible teaching of children to a delightful account of star Gregory Peck and the film set of To Kill a Mockingbird.

The book includes an introduction by Casey Cep, Harper Lee's appointed biographer, which provides illuminating background to these pieces and connects them to Lee's life and her novels, broadening our un­ derstanding of her extraordinary talent. Readers can trace the development of Lee's inimitable voice as it explores politics, equality, travel, love, fiction, art, the American South, and what it means to lead an engaged and creative life.

Insightful and illuminating, The Land of Sweet Forever is an indispensable work for Harper Lee's many devoted fans, new readers discovering her work, and students of American literature.

The Walter Award Honor-winning author of Root Magic returns with a terrifying story in the Southern Gothic tradition, inspired by the hoodoo practice of hair burning.

At night, Roddie still dreams of sitting at his mother's feet while she braids his Afro down. But that's a memory from before. Before his mom died in a tragic accident. Before he was taken in by an aunt he barely knows. Before his aunt brought him to Dogwood House, the creepiest place Roddie has ever seen. It was his family's home for over a hundred years. Now the house--abandoned and rotting, draped in Spanish moss that reminds him too much of hair--is his home too.

Aunt Angie has returned to South Carolina to take care of Roddie and reconnect with their family's hoodoo roots. Roddie, however, can't help but feel lost. His mom had never told him anything about hoodoo, Dogwood House, or their family. And as they set about fixing the house up, Roddie discovers that there is even more his mother never said. Like why she left home when she was seventeen, never to return. Or why she insisted Aunt Angie always wear her hair in locs. Or what she knew of the strange secrets hidden deep within Dogwood House--secrets that have awoken again, and are reaching out to Roddie...

Experience the immortal horror manga as it was originally meant to be read! For the first time in more than a decade, the Parasyte Paperback Collection pairs Hitoshi Iwaaki's original, black-and-white art with a revised translation and updated interior and cover design.

Teenager Shinichi wakes up one night to discover a creature crawling under the skin of his right arm. This is a Parasite, a creature that takes control of a person's body and turns it into a shapeshifting monstrosity hungry for human flesh. Shinichi has managed to stop his parasite with a tourniquet, and as a result, it takes over only his arm, leaving two consciousnesses sharing one body and dependent on each other to survive. As parasites take control of more and more people, rumors spread of brutal murders committed by terrible abominations--heads splitting open to reveal mouths of sharp teeth, batlike wings erupting from backs, blades tearing through soft bellies. Only Shinichi knows for sure that these rumors are all true. But can he find a way to live without destroying everyone he cares about, much less save the rest of humanity?

Complete in eight volumes, Parasyte Paperback Collection features the translation, lettering, and size of the recent, acclaimed hardcover Parasyte Full Color Collection. This timeless manga inspired the global smash hit anime Parasyte -the maxim- and the live-action TV drama from the director of Train to Busan, Parasyte: The Grey.

A history of Black poets in Washington, DC, reveals how they have reflected and transformed American cultural discourse

Washington, DC, has long been home to a dynamic and vibrant African American literary community, despite often being overshadowed by the literary worlds of New York and Chicago. In No More Worlds to Conquer, the local poet Brian Gilmore uncovers the buried legacy of Black poets in Washington. He traces the literary life and politics of Black poets in the nation's capital since Paul Laurence Dunbar, showing how well-known American poets, such as Sterling Brown and Jean Toomer, were mentored in DC by poets like May Miller and Georgia Douglas Johnson and making the case for the city as a center of American literature.

Gilmore draws on meticulous research, personal interviews, and his own deep knowledge of the local literary community to connect generations of writers and document a poetic community that transcends Washington. He reveals the intricate intersections, networks, and influences that have shaped the city's poets and how they have influenced American poetry for a century.

More than a historical account, No More Worlds to Conquer is a personal exploration that bridges the past and the present. Gilmore, who was born and raised in DC, illuminates this history and reflects on his own place in its literary tradition. This multigenerational account will resonate with poetry enthusiasts, local DC scholars, and anyone interested in the rich traditions of African American literature.

During the Civil War, the utility and widespread availability of opium and morphine made opiates essential to wartime medicine. After the war ended, thousands of ailing soldiers became addicted, or "enslaved," as nineteenth-century Americans phrased it. Veterans, their families, and communities struggled to cope with addiction's health and social consequences. Medical and government authorities compounded veterans' suffering and imbued the epidemic with cultural meaning by branding addiction as a matter of moral weakness, unmanliness, or mental infirmity. Framing addiction as "opium slavery" limited the efficacy of care and left many veterans to suffer needlessly for decades after the war ended.

Drawing from veterans' firsthand accounts as well as mental asylum and hospital records, government and medical reports, newspaper coverage of addiction, and advertisements, Jonathan S. Jones unearths the poorly understood stories of opiate-addicted Civil War veterans in unflinching detail, illuminating the war's traumatic legacies. In doing so, Jones provides critical historical context for the modern opioid crisis, which bears tragic resemblance to that of the post-Civil War era.
