Child Craft
The unmistakable voice of Amy Cipolla Barnes returns in this new hybrid prose collection. To enter Child Craft is to enter a world of memories, both invented and remembered. The speakers of Barnes' stories inhabit a space at times surreal but always vivid, evoking emotional responses that take readers to a place they could not have anticipated from the opening lines. As the title implies, Child Craft explores family relationships-typically from the perspectives of mother and daughter-and the ways that we continually shape them into something that can either help or harm us. These intimate vignettes comment on the many-layered realities of womanhood in modern life in a variety of settings. Whether passing through the wreckage of the Oklahoma City bombing or pretending that a pickle jar could save a missing woman, these stories open imaginative landscapes that will leave you feeling both haunted and a little less alone.
Hesitancies: Poems
Sanjeev writes beautifully concise poetry; he has an exceptional talent for framing observations that are both wise and insightful, and he does so sparingly, as though words are too precious to waste... truly, the poetry is a delight. - Dr. Alan Corkish (writer, editor, and reviewer) Hesitancies is Sanjeev Sethi's fifth book of poems. He is in fine form: he broadens his gaze, looks deeper at himself and his settings. The timbre of a lived life follows his poetic trail. To read him is to recap a glimpse of the hand one is dealt with. His poems throb with edged sequences flirting with the savories of nuance playing footsie with the palette of possibilities. His inflection is irenic. Sethi sutu...
The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity
'A classic' - Simon Kuper, Financial Times 'Brilliant' - James O'Brien, author of How to be Right The five laws that confirm our worst fears: stupid people can and do rule the world. Since time immemorial, a powerful dark force has hindered the growth of human welfare and happiness. It is more powerful than the Mafia or the military. It has global catastrophic effects and can be found anywhere from the world's most powerful boardrooms to your local pub. This is the immensely powerful force of human stupidity. Seeing the shambolic state of human affairs, and sensing the dark force at work behind it, Carlo M. Cipolla, the late, noted professor of economic history at the University of Californi...

Buffalo Dope
Buffalo Dope, the debut from Joseph Sigurdson, is a dark comedy novel about Bobby Washburn, a weed dealer who lives with his mom. When Bobby and his associates discover that they can make a lot more money selling Xanax acquired from the dark web, suddenly their small-time business becomes a lot more dangerous and a lot more sinister. Crime and substance abuse entraps Bobby as he begins to fill the shoes of his estranged, incarcerated dad. Filled with eccentric characters, lightning-fast prose, and uncouth narration, the water pressure rises within this fractured bathtub of a novel.

Folsom's 93
From 1895 to 1937, 93 men were hanged at California's Folsom State Prison, and this book is the first to tell all of their stories, recounting long-forgotten tales of murder and swift justice, or sometimes, swift injustice that hanged an innocent man. Based on a treasury of historical information that has been hidden from the public for nearly 70 years, the full stories of these 93 executed men are presented in this collection including their origins, their crimes, the investigations that brought them to justice, their trials, and their deaths at the gallows. This wealth of previously unpublished historical detail gives a vivid view of the sociology of early 20th-century crime and of the resulting prison life. Readers take a trip back in time to the hard-boiled early 20th-century California that inspired the novels of Dashiell Hammett and countless other crime writers. Illustrated throughout with authentic and haunting prison photographs of each of the condemned men, the crimes and punishments of a vanished era are brought into a sharp and realistic light.
