By Natasha T. Miller
After losing her best friend and brother, Natasha finds an unexpected solace in the kitchen. Using the cuts of meat as a metaphor, she explores addiction and family tragedy in unapologetic, transparent grief.
Butcher takes the body of a cow and cleaves it into 5 parts: envisioning the cuts as relationships with family members and social forces. Her mother the rib, her brother the brisket, her queerness as the tongue and cheek. Raw and tender, it tells the story of a woman who must redefine her own identity and success after losing her most valuable relationships.

“So much power arrives from the author’s ability to orchestrate form and content so that the whole is a symphony.” – Ilya Kaminsky, Dancing in Odessa and Deaf Republic
Poet Afiriyie-Hwedie explores the sonic, imagistic and linear implications of speaking multiple Cover Image TK languages when political, historical and cultural tales clash with each other in the mouth and on the page.
Translation is not only a tool to understand language, but a process that alters the identity of the individual. As languages unlock different worlds, they compel acclimation to one world, then the next, by eliminating a sigh, a mood, an idea captured on the tip of the tongue.
Say grace A girl swallows her hands during supper. She did not say grace and that was it: Some learn more from what is removed from them. She gave up milk and steak. Instead, fed on the machine, hoping to come across a silver spoon. Ate the cogs and flushed them down with grease. Started to crack soot: side effects on the way to glory.

By Clint Carrick
Part memoir, part travelogue, part essay, this is the story of an odyssey to discover the role skateparks play in small town lives and the role they played in the author’s own.
For many Americans who grew up in small towns, childhood and adolescence revolved around the skatepark. Yet as time passed, these kids drifted away from skateboarding and the parks.
The author rekindles his skating memories as he drives cross-country to unremarkable skateparks in small towns. Why is he drawn there? What are their charms? How do skateparks function as institutions, and what are the indelible marks they leave on those who grow in its womb?
As he makes his way West, Clint relearns how to skate. He chats with locals, crashes, bleeds, and hears a lot of stories that sound like his own. The rust begins to wear off, but questions remain. NOSTALGIC ROAD TRIP TO Can someone who left skating behind rediscover SMALL TOWN SKATEPARKS the activity that defined his youth? Can someone who abandoned skateboarding make the skatepark once again his home? And why would he want to?

By M.J. Craig
“All I’m saying is take a look at the strange geometrical objects in these pictures from Mars. Most of them may just be odd- looking rocks, but if just ONE of these is artificial and it doesn’t say ‘Made by NASA’ on it, then we have some serious questions to ask.” – M.J. Craig, Secret Mars
What are the real discoveries of the Mars orbiters and rovers? Here are 160 incredible images taken by American and European spacecraft that reveal possible evidence of a civilization that once lived, and may still live, on Mars – powerful evidence that scientists are ignoring!
While scientists spend billions confirming that microbes live in the Martian soil, ordinary people at home on their computers studying the Mars images are making far more astounding dis- coveries. They may have found the possible archaeological remains of an extraterrestrial civilization. Hard to believe? This challenging book invites you to take a look at the astounding pictures yourself and make up your own mind. PROOF OF A MARTIAN CIVILIZATION?

By David Hatcher Childress
The incredible tale of the German flying disk known as the Haunebu. Join Childress as he investigates the secret files involving the Haunebu, the Vril craft, the Andromeda craft and others.
Although rumors of German flying disks have flown around since WWII, it was not until 1989 when a German researcher living in London, Ralf Ettl, received an anonymous packet of photo- graphs and documents about the planning and development of these unusual airships, which we would classify today as UFOs, or flying saucers.
These documents confirmed that WWII did not end as we have been taught, and that a remnant of the Nazi military continued to operate flying saucers – most notably one known as the Haunebu – and submarines around the world decades after the end of the war.
This is not esoteric information: Ettl made several GERMAN FLYING SAUCERS BEYOND WWII TV documentaries based on the material in the packet and released most of the documents and photos to European researchers.

Edited by Robyn Chapman
In American Cult, over 20 cartoonists explore the history of cults in America with clarity and empathy – digging deep to find the human stories within.
From its earliest days, America has been a home for spiritual seekers. In 1694, a Transylvanian monk and his 40 followers settled in tolerant Philadelphia. 200 years later, another preacher founded a utopian free love community in New York. In the 1960s and ’70s, a new generation of seekers lived communally across North America. Now, in the 21st Century, gurus find their flocks through self-help seminars and MLM schemes, demanding their flocks’ faith, fortunes, and even their lives.

They are just trying to survive the magical modern world: helping each other through online dating awkwardness, hungry monsters, jealous exes, rude skeletons, boring movies and the occasional bloodthirsty rampage.
But when the clock strikes midnight and the moonlight hits just right, they uncover the scariest thing of all: their growing, unacknowledged romance. This is a lighthearted, magical queer romcom sure to please every ghoul and ghostie.
Ashley Robin Franklin is a queer cartoonist and illustrator who lives in Austin, Texas. A graduate of University of Texas, she has published several short comics with The New Yorker, Pomegranate Magazine, and The Nib.

The author examines hundreds of Colle’s games to present an informed, balanced picture of a player who was courageous and audacious, a tenacious fighter who transcended his frailty to topple the giants of his day. Includes:
■ Computer analysis of 110 of Colle’s most representative games A DYNAMIC AND TENACIOUS TACTICAL MASTER ■ Many instructive examples of the Colle opening ■ With memorial tributes, bios of his opponents, his known tournament and match record, and all his available tournament crosstables ■ Foreword by Andy Soltis

Seven poems, composed by fictional children, which pair iconic San Francisco gastronomic delights and the days of the week with a precocious affection.

Revealed between the poetry and whimsy is longing for the San Francisco of memory: the visits to Playland, trips to Fisherman’s Wharf, first dates at Golden Gate Park. The poems recall a city drenched in the hazy glow of nostalgia for a time that never was and never can be again.

By Yohei Kitazato Illustrated by Akio Tanaka
Selfishness = success in this unusual memoir. A self-declared genius, the author achieved all of his wildest dreams with an unlikely formula: being as egotistical and selfish as possible. By focusing solely upon himself, he was able to make his own ambitions a priority, eschewing outside validation.
As a young adult, he explored South America, challenged a pro Muay Thai fighter, boxed with a World Champion, and played one-on-one against a Chilean pro soccer player. After college, he joined the Hitachi Corporation and simultaneously opened a bar, published a book, and started his own publishing company.
Now the owner of a worldwide chain of hookah lounges from Kuala Lumpur to Lima, a real estate agency and an editorial studio, Yohei has successfully turned his egotism into a multi- faceted career. A MEMOIR OF SELFISHNESS So, I decided to stop listening to what the so-called adults had told me. Is it wrong to do what you love? Is it wrong to live the way you want to live? “At some point, you need to just give up,” they told me. “Listen to what we say. You have to start working at some point. You have to be realistic.” Excuse me? Who do they think they are—the adults that have already given up on every last one of their hopes and dreams— telling me what to do? It’s my life! I’ll turn what I love doing for fun into what I do for a living. I’ll continue to work towards the life that I dream about. I decided to give up giving up.

From a dull Dutch childhood and a waitressing job, sexy Sonja Heda, cigarette in hand, wrangles her way on to the film sets of the Weimar and Nazi era, including The Blue Angel, The Gypsy Baron, Jew Suss, Habanera and Munchausen. Ultimately, she lands the starring role in the Nazi screwball comedy Bagdad Capers. However, her ambitions culminate in a grim reality.

By Júlio Dinis Translated by Margaret Jull Costa
Mr. Richard Whitestone is stoutly English, a successful businessman based for many years in Oporto, Portugal. He remains resolutely English in his tastes and accent. A widower for many years, he lives with his children Jenny and Carlos.
Jenny is wise beyond her 21 years. Carlos is 18 and much given to carousing and falling – briefly – in love with pretty girls. He is the despair of his father, but his sister believes in him. One day, during Carnival, Carlos meets a young woman at a masked ball and falls in love. As ever, the path of true love runs very erratically indeed.
Júlio Dinis is sometimes referred to as the Portuguese Trollope, and this, the first novel he wrote, is a keen-eyed evocation of the narrow world of 19th Century bourgeois Oporto, but also, and more importantly, it is a brilliant account of family life in all its flawed beauty. FIRST ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF A 19TH CENTURY PORTUGUESE CLASSIC Júlio Dinis (1839-1871) was the pseudonym of Joaquim Guilherme Gomes Coelho. Born in Oporto, he became a doctor. When diagnosed with TB, he resigned his post and began writing novels. His first, published initially in serial form, met with instant success, and his works remain popular today. He died at age 31.

By Nancy Stephanie Stone
Entertaining and well-researched, Undertones traces the intertwined roots of crime fiction and jazz, soul mates in American popular culture.
Jazz and crime fiction, two classically American genres, complement each other like nothing else. Jazz lore is noir itself, littered with tragic figures, corrupt cops, and con artists, while the music’s varied styles, from melancholy cool to more manic bebop, create perfect soundtracks to intriguing mysteries. Little surprise, then, that both genres found traction on the edges of respectability in the 1930s, in underground clubs and pulp magazines, and that jazz and crime fiction have a long, shared history. Includes crime classics such as:
■ Devil in a Blue Dress by Walter Mosley, The Black Echo by Michael Connelly, Dead Man’s Blues by Ray Celestin, and many more!
HOW CRIME FICTION AND JAZZ INTERTWINE Billie Holiday has haunted Charlie and become a part of his life through the years. In Lonely Hearts (1989) he broods about her childhood and her death from narcotics. In Cold Light (1994), his life significantly improves after he buys the pricey, boxed CD set of the Collected Billie Holiday on Verve for Christmas. Jazz clearly provides an emotional refuge for Charlie in an increasingly violent world. Nowhere is this more evident than in Cold in Hand (2008). Karen Shields, who’s investigating the death of Lynn Kellogg, notices Charlie’s albums and CDs, asks if he had always “been into jazz?’ “Pretty much. One of the things that keeps me sane. Least, it used to,” he replies. (p.331). While Lynn was murdered, Charlie was listening to trombonist Bob Brookmeyer play “There Will Never Be Another You.”

By Kess McKinley
Special Agent Jefferson Haines puts the ‘order’ in law and order. Meal kits. Gray suits. Consistent reps at the gym. But all his routines are thrown into chaos when he’s called in to catch a serial killer whose MO is the stuff of urban legend, complete with signature slashes and the haunting curl of a deathly smile.
As Jefferson races to stop the murders, the investigation leads to an old friend he thought had disappeared, Fred ‘Finny’ Ashley. Surprisingly, Finny has his own theories about the killer. And they’re pretty good, too. Maybe too good.
As the stakes are raised, Jefferson has to contend with his growing feelings for Finny and his deepest fear: Is his former best friend the true Smiley Face Killer?
“What do you think of that?” Jefferson asked, gesturing at the shock of black and yellow on the seawall. Parts of the graffiti tag were still trailing droplets of paint. It was fresh, only hours old. “It means the case is ours,” she said, meaning FBI business. Jefferson shaded his eyes with one hand, looking towards the distant horizon. Boats were starting to move through the DEBUT LGBTQ+ MYSTERY channels in earnest now, fishermen headed back to the Seaport with their morning catches and ferries shuttling commuters to the city center. People were waking up and going about their day, oblivious to the fact that a monster lived among them. Voice tight, he said, “It’s about time.”
