Of Violence and Cliché
After the accident, William begins to see things differently. In fact, he begins to see things no person expects to see, including an orange tabby cat that speaks but can't answer questions and a half naked, otherworldly woman who isn't a woman at all. They offer him reluctant aid wrapped in riddles, as William tries to make sense of his new world and the creatures that seem to either goad him or fill him with trepidation. In the midst of this paradoxical universe that has revealed itself to him, William works his way up the petty criminal ranks, making money by fighting in unsanctioned boxing matches. A seasoned fighter, he is both exalted and manipulated by Arnie, a man who deals in sex sl...
Fanonymous
Earth and sky are devoid of colour. There are no beginnings or endings. Then the snow melts. Maybe its the dead cars. It could be the escaped bison roaming the downtown core. Mosquitoes? Sure. Dragonflies? Absolutely. And its also entirely possible its the pomegranate tree at the corner of Portage and Main. Or maybe, just maybe, its the people, like Dickie Reimer. Any way you slice it, somethings going on in Winnipeg. Thats really true. At some point, every Peg will ask so whyd you move here? Jack hopes the city will be the one place no one will look for him. An infamous guerilla street artist, Jack is on the run. Again. Under scrutiny from international authorities, anonymity is his only protection. He promises himself hell quit, but blackmail is powerful persuasion. Tracked by a relentless special agent, Jack navigates the absurdity of the city while befriending (and avoiding) the eccentric characters that proudly claim it as their home.
Etchings in the Dead Wax
For Ethan Caldwell, a victim of an abusive childhood, fear is a badge he has worn sewn over his heart for all of his life. Afraid of happiness, joy, comfort, friendship, and most of all love, Ethan is slowly realizing that each day is becoming more difficult than the last. Even though Ethan has managed to walk away from years of physical abuse, the emotional scars remain. He cannot shake the memories that haunt him and as he attempts to drown his traumatic recollections in half-emptied bottles of rum, the only thing that keeps him from unraveling completely is his music. Virtually alone, he only wants to play out the remaining moments of his life unnoticed until it's his turn to fold. Fraugh...
Woman
Woman - An Anthology features selections on the theme of women in literature and includes writing from incredibly diverse and acclaimed authors. Rather than focusing specifically on female protagonists, this anthology considers the range of the female voice as part of an introspective and nuanced compilation. These collected works explore how women are written and the perspectives from which they are written. A cross-section from multiple genres and styles, the stories herein are weaved together to form a varied literary tapestry.
The Unpleasantness at the Battle of Thornford
When a costumed, pike-spiked body turns up after a traditional historic reenactment of the 1645 Battle of Thornford, the Reverend Tom Father Christmas and the villagers of Thornford Regis find themselves in a battle of their own as they deal with events from the murky, more recent past. C.C. Benisons latest intriguing and delightful Father Christmas mystery will leave cozy mystery readers puzzling over the outcome and, like a refreshing English cream tea, wishing there were more.
Charleswood Road Stories
The fiction and prose selections included in Charleswood Road contrast stark reality with fantasy, mortality with transcendence and explore both the mundane and pivotal choices people make in shaping their world. Each selection, neither predictable nor conventional, challenges one's assumptions of what is real and what is possible and inspires one to question the role of fate and fortune in one's own life. From first kisses to last breaths and everything in between, sentiment is stripped away to reveal both the allure and acrimony of humanity. Rich and varied, bleak and hopeful, this remarkable collection of short stories and poetry pulls focus on our limitations and in spite of these limitations, our willingness to see each day to the end. The title offering is a wholly original and candid coming of age piece loosely based around real events in the city of Winnipeg.
Ming
Ming is breath and mist. A whisper. An echo. She is fiction and she is real. Ming is on a journey, but there are no paths. She is not looking. She is aware. Not big on voice, Ming has mastered the art of listening to people, to rivers, and to the rain. To the song of the wind. Hers is a life that can be shared. Yet there is isolation; some will connect, some will never know. We are offered a window into her life, to live through her quest for answers. A rare chance to join the voyage, rather than just pass by.
Signal Decay
Tim has recently passed away and left Lori with piles of expensive recording equipment and mountains of debt. Tims family wants to move on from the loss but Lori cant let go, not while she can still hear Tims laugh as though hes still there beside her. That is, until she begins to hear his laugh in odd places, like old recordings Tim never worked on. Can love transcend to keep us connected through death? Or do we just create our own reality when were not ready to let go?
Curb Angels
In the post-punk, global economy of the 1980s, four young women from very different backgrounds are united by a common goal: justice. Curb Angels features fearless female characters on a mission that crosses borders and challenges the status quo. In the face of exploitation and violence against women, they carve their own path and leave a touch of well-deserved wreckage along the way. Powerhouse team Lisa Mendis and Christopher Ducharme join forces in this tour-de-force graphic novel debut to push boundaries and buttons as they explore culturally taboo subjects through sequential art.
Charleswood Road
These short fiction and prose selections depict the author's exploration of life experiences from various narrative stances and his attempt to understand ego development and self-actualization. Following up the success of his recent novel "Etchings in the Dead Wax," familiar topics like fear, sadness, mental illness, forgiveness, and understanding the environments we share reappear as the author dips deep in the inkwell in search of answers. The title offering is a candid coming of age piece loosely based around real events in the city of Winnipeg.
