GUARDIAN **Pre-order Eliza Clark's next novel, PENANCE, now** Irina is in a rut.

Parallel Hells
In this deliciously strange debut collection, Leon Craig draws on folklore and gothic horror in refreshingly inventive ways to explore queer identity, love, power and the complicated nature of being human. Some say that hell is other people and some say hell is loneliness . . . In the thirteen darkly audacious stories of Parallel Hells we meet a golem, made of clay, learning that its powers far exceed its Creator's expectations; a ruined mansion which grants the secret wishes of a group of revellers and a notorious murderer who discovers her Viking husband is not what he seems. Asta is an ancient being who feasts on the shame of contemporary Londoners, who now, beyond anything, wishes only to fit in with a group of friends they will long outlive. An Oxford historian, in bitter competition with the rest of her faculty members, discovers an ancient tome whose sinister contents might solve her problems. Livia orchestrates a Satanic mass to distract herself from a recently remembered trauma and two lovers must resolve their differences in order to defy a lethal curse.

Bite the Stars
'Bite the Stars' is the US debut of the gifted Canadian author Eliza Clark. Writing with a trademark use of rhythmic language and cinematic detail, 'Bite the Stars' is a mesmerizing story of the whirlwind forces of nature and the ravages — and glory — of love. In a uniquely personal voice, Grace Larson dramatically recounts the tornado that destroyed her church on Palm Sunday, killing nineteen people and causing her to go into labor and give birth to a son. As Cole grows up, it becomes clear that he is just as dangerous and destructive as the storm he was born out of, a dark force of nature himself. With a mother’s fierce love and profound guilt, Grace tries to see him as the man he is, and herself as the woman she could have been.

Tell Me I'm Worthless
Alison Rumfitt’s Tell Me I’m Worthless is a dark, unflinching haunted house story that confronts both supernatural and real-world horrors through the lens of the modern-day trans experience. "Ambitious, brutal, and brilliant.” —Gretchen Felker-Martin, author of Manhunt Three years ago, Alice spent one night in an abandoned house with her friends, Ila and Hannah. Since then, Alice’s life has spiraled. She lives a haunted existence, selling videos of herself for money, going to parties she hates, drinking herself to sleep. Memories of that night torment Alice, but when Ila asks her to return to the House, to go past the KEEP OUT sign and over the sick earth where teenagers dare each other to venture, Alice knows she must go. Together, Alice and Ila must face the horrors that happened there, must pull themselves apart from the inside out, put their differences aside, and try to rescue Hannah, whom the House has chosen to make its own. Cutting, disruptive, and darkly funny, Tell Me I’m Worthless is a vital work of trans fiction that examines the devastating effects of trauma and how fascism makes us destroy ourselves and each other.
