How I Came to Haunt My Parents by Natalee Caple

"Moving . . . unsettling." “The New York Times on The Heart Has Its Own Reason

Natalee Caple is the author of several books including the forthcoming novel, In Calamity's Wake, from HarperCollins. In this beautifully written suite of short fiction, Caple explores fables from the dark side of adulthood and her animals and humans are imbued with modern complexity.

Why They Cried by Jim Hanas

"Hanas writes with a swift clip, deploys images so judiciously and vividly, and demonstrates real insight into the way we live now." “The Rumpus

Whether it's a report from the real Cannes or a young couple discovering that reading Jacques Derrida aloud can lull their child to sleep, Jim Hanas finds the strange in the everyday and the everyday in the strange.

Letters To Thomas Pynchon by Chris Eaton

"Beautifully written." “Jonathan Lethem

Rock Plaza Central frontman Chris EatonÓ³ fictions read like intellectual fisticuffs: bruising but with more than a touch of moustache wax.
