Neveah and their father, who run the Carruthers Crematorium in the run-down central Virginia town of Jefferson Run, see death up close every day.

A few weeks after the 2016 election, at Thanksgiving with his daughter’s family, Rhys Kinnick snapped. After an escalating fight about politics, he hauled off and punched his conspiracy theorist son-in-law. Horrified by what he'd done, by the state of the country and by his own spiraling mental health, Rhys chucked his smartphone out a car window and fled for a cabin in the woods, off the grid and with no one around—except a pack of hungry raccoons. Now, seven years later, Kinnick’s old life is about to land right back on his crumbling doorstep.

When a Cravat and a Rose Thorn Change Everything... Elizabeth Bennet returns to Netherfield expecting nothing more than a pleasant visit with her newly married sister. She certainly does not expect Mr Darcy to be among the guests—or for a single moment of unexpected tenderness in the rose garden to turn her world upside down. When Darcy gallantly tends a scratch on her hand, binding it with his own cravat before sheltering her from a sudden spring storm, it ought to be nothing more than a fleeting kindness. But the next morning, his cravat is found—tangled scandalously among the garden ...

A biting satire about a young man's isolated upbringing and the race trial that sends him to the Supreme Court, Paul Beatty's The Sellout showcases a comic genius at the top of his game.

La narratrice ne dispose, sur cette femme morte avant sa naissance, que de quelques légendes familiales dont les récits fluctuent. C'est à peu près tout. Les enfants d'Elisabeth ne parlent jamais de leur mère entre eux et ils n'en parlent pas à leurs enfants qui n'en parlent pas à leurs petits-enfants. "C'était un nom qu'on ne prononçait pas. Maman, c'était un non-sujet.

He took his brother’s place at the altar. Now he owns my vows, my body… and soon, my heart. I was supposed to marry a man I didn’t love. I didn’t expect him to vanish— Or his older brother to take his place. Matteo Romano is everything my groom wasn’t. Colder. Crueler. Thirteen years older. A Mafia alpha with a voice like velvet and eyes that promise ruin. He says our marriage is just business—one year, no feelings. But when he punishes, I burn. When he commands, I break. And when he whispers mine, I believe him. One night, hate turns into something reckless. Now there’s a ...

Before you find yourself—you’ll have to wander through the stories that shaped you. In the fourth volume of The Creative Works of Mr. Joe, Joseph Santiago invites you into a space where memory, myth, and imagination blur—where genre bends, and the self reveals itself in unexpected ways. Told through a kaleidoscope of flash fiction, short stories, and lyrical essays, these works explore the invisible threads that shape our lives: the fears we silence, the joy we nearly miss, and the rituals we invent to stay human. With a voice both vulnerable and sharp, Santiago weaves sci-fi ...
