Hunting Ghosts
"What draws us to tales of the supernatural? Is it that desire to find belief and comfort in the possibility that life continues after the physical body has died and turned to ash? ...The recent proliferation of "ghost-hunting" shows on TV, and "found-footage" style movies (Grave Encounters, Blair Witch, etc) further speaks to our own obsessions with the paranormal, and the desire to find answers as they pertain to the possibility of our species' extended existence - here's an entire anthology dedicated to that very subject! Whatever the case may be, you will certainly find what you are looking for in the tales collected in this volume... for there are, dear reader, nightmares that a wait as...
Ghost Parachute
This is a collection of 105 flash fiction stories published in Ghost Parachute magazine. Ghost Parachute seeks to publish writing that is unapologetically bold. We wish to lose ourselves in fresh and vibrant imagery. We want to read what we've always known but were too afraid to say. We want to read a story unlike any other story we've read before. It's easy to view the world in black and white, so Ghost Parachute paints a streak of gray. Great stories don't ride the popular, easy narrative, and great characters are often impossible to love yet we love them anyway. We aim to unleash the spider behind the rose and dance in the surreal.
The Minuscule Mansion of Myra Malone
Audrey Burges The Minuscule Mansion of Myra Malone is a charming and magical debut novel, with a love story at its heart, woven across multiple periods and perspectives, about a mystical dolls’ house. Once upon a time there was a house . . . From her attic in the Arizona mountains, thirty-four-year-old recluse Myra Malone blogs about a miniature mansion - a dolls' house - which captivates thousands of readers worldwide. Myra herself is tethered to the Mansion by a strange magic she can’t understand - there are rooms that appear and disappear overnight, music that plays in its corridors. Across the country, Alex Rakes, the thirty-four-year-old heir of a furniture business, encounters two Mansion fans trying to recreate a room. Alex is shocked to recognize his own bedroom in minute scale. The Mansion is his family’s home, handed down from the grandmother who disappeared mysteriously when Alex was a child. Searching for answers, Alex begins corresponding with Myra. Together, the two unwind the lonely paths of their twin worlds - big and small - and trace the stories that entwine them, setting the stage for a meeting rooted in loss, but defined by love.
In Defense of Ska
In a mix of interviews, essays, personal stories, historical snapshots, obscure anecdotes, and think pieces, this second expanded edition dissects, analyzes and celebrates ska in exactly the way fans have been craving for decades. With the addition of 4 new sections, Aaron adds to the already extensive compendium that was the first edition: The Importance of Christian Ska; After ska died in the '90s, the music went underground and returned to its roots; The ska roots of Fall Out Boy lead singer Patrick Stump; How Katrina created a vibrant ska scene in New Orleans. Aaron expands on the original edition with exciting interviews with Patrick Stump from Fall Out Boy who he interviewed on his podcast of the same name. In Defense of Ska: Ska Now More Than Ever is the much-needed response to years of ska-mockery. Now the time to take to the streets and fight music snobbery, or at least crank up the ska without being teased ruthlessly, has come. This book will enlist ska-lovers as soldiers in the ska army and challenge ska-haters' prejudices to the core.
And If That Mockingbird Don't Sing
An evil teddy bear, a mermaid, a robot daughter, a ghost child. A mother surrendering her baby to the crows. A child consumed by lice from the inside out. A father sending his selkie daughter back to the sea. These flash stories and essays explore the whispered side of parenting -the loss, fear, vulnerability, and deep, deep love that lurks underneath our day-to-day lives as mothers and fathers. One glimpse into 'And If That Mockingbird Don't Sing: Parenting Stories Gone Speculative,' and you'll never look at parenting in quite the same way again.

Instantáneas de ficción, volumen 4 reúne una selección de microcuentos escritos originalmente en inglés, traducidos al español por el equipo de Susurros Chinos durante 2022. Nuestro equipo está conformado por personas que se dedican a la traducción de manera profesional y que disfrutan de la experiencia de traducir literatura en el marco de una actividad compartida y colectiva. En este volumen, y en línea con los anteriores, se incluyeron piezas que abordan temáticas variadas como el amor, la nostalgia, las pérdidas, los cambios, los vínculos familiares. También se incorporaron relatos que reflejan el ritmo de vida actual y nuestro vínculo con el entorno, historias que nos permiten vislumbrar un futuro cuanto menos inquietante si no revisamos nuestra actitud hacia la vida y hacia el planeta. En la compilación, se le ha dado lugar, además, a lo sobrenatural y lo sorprendente, que es tan característico del género de la microficción y que, por su carácter extraordinario e inesperado, siempre resulta muy desafiante para traducir.
