The Seeds of Nightmares
The Seeds of Nightmares is the first collection of short fiction by horror and genre author Tony Tremblay under his own name. This collection includes many of his published stories (released under the pseudonym T. T. Zuma), as well as the novelette The Strange Saga of Mattie Dyer, published here for the first time. The thirteen tales in this book run a gambit of genres from terrifying horror to atmospheric noir to the blackest (and bloodiest) dark humor.
The Fiddlehead Moment
For many Canadians, the small province of New Brunswick on Canada's scenic east coast is "a nice place to visit but no place to live," plagued for generations by outmigration and economic stagnation. In The Fiddlehead Moment Tony Tremblay challenges this potent stereotype by showcasing the work of a group of literary modernists who set out to change the meaning of New Brunswick in the national lexicon. Alfred Bailey, Desmond Pacey, Fred Cogswell, and a formidable group of local poets and cultural workers – collectively, New Brunswick's Fiddlehead School – sought to restore New Brunswick's literary reputation by adapting avant-garde modernist practices to the contours of the province, ope...
David Adams Richards
This study of the Canadian writer David Adams Richards features an interview with the author and an opening essay that situates Richards in the current Canadian fiction landscape. Included are essays by Wayne Curtis, Margo Wheaton, Fred Cogswell, Lawrence Mathews, Inge Sterrer-Hauzenberger, Pamela Jo Boggs, and Wayne Johnson. While Richards is best known for his novels, these pieces also explore his essays and short fiction.
The Moore House
Three excommunicated nuns, Nora, Agnes, and Celeste, join a paranormal unit sanctioned by the Catholic Church, in the hopes for redemption in God's eyes. As empaths, their jobs are to verify reports of demonic possession, and when their boss, Father MacLeod, is persuaded to investigate a house in a small New Hampshire town, the three women are chosen to assess these claims. Goffstown police files detail numerous extraordinary occurrences at the Moore house, including seven gruesome, unsolved killings.

David Adams Richards of the Miramichi
Widely considered to be one of Canada's most important authors, David Adams Richards has been honoured with a Giller Prize and two Governor General's Literary Awards. Despite this, there has been a dearth of critical appraisal of his life and works. In David Adams Richards of the Miramichi, Tony Tremblay sheds light not only on Richards' art and achievements, but also on Canadian literary criticism in general. Tremblay maps out the early influences on Richards' thinking and writing by drawing on interviews, archival records, and cultural studies of New Brunswick. He argues that the author is a more sophisticated craftsman than his critical reception has assumed and makes the case for a more nuanced analysis of his works. Equal parts literary biography, literary criticism, and cultural study of New Brunswick, David Adams Richards of the Miramichi provides a rare glimpse into the struggles and triumphs of a New Brunswick artist in a national and provincial milieu.
Blue Stars and Other Tales of Darkness
Following his critically hailed first collection The Seeds of Nightmares, and fresh off his Bram Stoker-nominated novel The Moore House, Tony Tremblay offers up his second collection of tales in Blue Stars and Other Tales of Darkness. As with his first collection, these stories cover a range of genres, all guaranteed to provoke a variety of emotions from abject horror to amusing chills, all honed to a razor’s edge. The eleven stories in Blue Stars and Other Tales of Darkness include his post-apocalyptic novella Steel, the acclaimed title story “Blue Stars”, as well as nine other journeys into the realms of despair, demonic possession, and madness. Also included in Blue Stars and Other ...
New Brunswick at the Crossroads
What is the relationship between literature and the society in which it incubates? Are there common political, social, and economic factors that predominate during periods of heightened literary activity? New Brunswick at the Crossroads: Literary Ferment and Social Change in the East considers these questions and explores the relationships between periods of creative ferment in New Brunswick and the socio-cultural conditions of those times. The province’s literature is ideally suited to such a study because of its bicultural character—in both English and French, periods of intense literary creativity occurred at different times and for different reasons. What emerges is a cultural geogra...
Louis Dudek
The critical essays that make up this book demonstrate the integrity and coherence of Montreal's Louis Dudek and his artistic vision, his life long dedication to art. reason, clarity, and truth.
David Adams Richards of the Miramichi
In David Adams Richards of the Miramichi, Tony Tremblay sheds light not only on Richards' art and achievements, but also on Canadian literary criticism in general.
