Renewed
My name is Michael Henson, and this is my story. Am I a brilliant scientist, an evolution revolutionary, or simply a fool? I will let you decide. Join me in my adventure ... if you dare ... of an experiment gone wrong, where my goal of becoming a creature of myth resulted in my turning into a creature of nightmares. This is only the beginning of my story - a story of survival, regret, discovery, and hope. Renewed is Metamorphosis meets The Island of Dr. Moreau — a disturbing tale of a man who played at being god and had to live with the consequences. Content warning: Mention of self-harm, sex, suicidal thoughts, and graphic medical descriptions including bodily fluids.
A Small Room with Trouble on My Mind
In this revised edition of his classic 1983 short story collection, Michael Henson is at the height of his poetic and storytelling powers. All the neo-Gothic Faulknerian themes are updated here (think Jayne Anne Phillips or Lee Smith): the betrayals of family, alcoholism, drug addiction, sexual passion, and devastating poverty. From the caged violence of urban streets to the struggle for subsistence in the rural outback, Henson brings his eye and ear for detail to bear on trampled persimmons and greased ball bearings, on haunting wails of trains, trucks and cars. Battered by the socioeconomic conditions into which they are born, buoyed and betrayed by the cultural traditions they inherit, Henson�s characters stumble through their lives, bewildered, frustrated, angry but also, in the end, defiant. And in that, they affirm, however belatedly, their indomitable humanity. �Tyrone Williams, author of Adventures of Pi: Poems
Secure the Shadow
An interconnected web of lives in one midwestern city captures the surprising humanity of people searching for their authentic selves amid the 1990s drug crisis. Amy Taylor finds the inner-city streets around her high school vibrant and animated compared to the bland middle-class neighborhood where she lives with her career-driven mother. In these streets, she meets the people of the city, among them a wayward boy named Jonathan, a struggling drug dealer, and Paul Lewis, a documentary photographer who becomes Amy’s mentor. Under his inspiration, she attempts to capture their world through the lens of her camera. From the multiple perspectives of Amy and the expansive group of people she meets, award-winning novelist Michael Henson presents a heartbreaking portrait of the effects the Reagan-initiated drug war had on the young.

Aural Awareness
Traditional aural training is heavily biased towards the perception and identification of pitch and rhythm. This book argues that much of this area of the subject can best be worked on alone. It demonstrates how every student can make some encouraging progress in these aspects of music.
Maggie Boylan
Set in Appalachian Ohio amid an epidemic of prescription opiate abuse, Michael Henson’s linked collection tells of a woman’s search for her own peculiar kind of redemption, and brings the novel-in-stories form to new heights. Maggie Boylan is an addict, thief, liar, and hustler. But she is also a woman of deep compassion and resilience. The stories follow Maggie as she spirals through her addictive process, through the court system and treatment, and into a shaky new beginning. In these masterful stories, we rarely occupy Maggie’s perspective, but instead gain a multilayered portrait of a community as we see other people’s lives bump up against hers—and we witness her inserting herself into their spheres, refusing to be rebuffed. The result is a prismatic view of a community fighting to stay upright against the headwinds of a drug epidemic: always on edge, always human.
