  Hollywood director Steve McNaught is drinking heavily and on the brink of a midlife crisis. With guilt over two failed marriages and his role as near-absent father, he buys a one-way ticket to Scotland, hoping to find solace in his grandfather's ancestral home. Soon the town is abuzz with the news of Steve's impending arrival at his aunt's Mrs. McPhealy's. The ladies exchange glances; the men in the only pub wonder if there might be some cash advantage. Bent over the bins in the alley behind the shops, the three tinker brothers barely register the goings-on. They know they are related to this Hollywood character. Everyone knows. It is only Steve McNaught who is in the dark. 
   
   
   
  But from the outset, Steve is a misfit in the small town of Locharbert. Georgiana (George) MacBrayne, the local midwife, suffers no fools, and this is exactly what she expects to find in Steve McNaught. When Steve buys the dilapidated cottage by the shore where George grew up and which she has always hoped to restore, the tension between them increases. As these things go, so does the attraction. George lets her guard down long enough to let Steve in, but when he starts making a film starring Locharbert's local characters, she throws him out. He takes his film reels and heads back to California. And then, one day, Steve reappears, months sober and brandishing his newly edited film.

  Five years removed from a life as an apprentice to a group of heroes who battled supernatural evils, the once-promising student Janzen Robinson has become a package courier. He now works the daily grind, passing time at a hole-in-the-wall bar and living in a tiny, run-down apartment on the south side of Cleveland, Ohio. 
   
   
   
  Then from the ancient recesses of unyielding darkness known as the Abyss, a creature has been summoned: a Stalker, a predator whose real name must never be spoken. It's a bastardization of the natural order, a formidable blend of dark magic and primal tenacity. Its mission? To end the life of a fiery, emerging young witch. 
   
   
   
  Thrust into the role of protector, a position once reserved for those he'd lost years ago, the out-of-practice "Artificer" is forced to confront his painful past while facing an unstoppable monster hell-bent on destruction. Janzen must keep one step ahead of the beast as he journeys through Cleveland's magical underbelly to uncover why it's been brought to our world. He will need to rely on old friends, a quiet stranger, and his own questionable wits to reach the other side of this nightmare—that just might cost him his life and, quite possibly, the world itself.

  Two Lives
  by Ja' Licia Gainer
  Joanna thought she would always struggle to trust men.
  
  From an unwell mother to a father battling addiction, Joanna was lost in a sea of panic, fear and worry.
  Dante believed he would never be able to open up to another person again, either.
  From an unwell mother to a father who battled with addiction, Dante had fallen into a world of dissociation and anger.
  But when these two lives collide, they find that through their love and time together, some wounds can heal.
  Overcoming their problems was never going to be easy. But through each other, Joanna and Dante will certainly try.  The two lives of Joanna and Dante meet head on, both for better, and for worse.
  From Ja 'Licia Gainer, a writer based in Missouri, comes a tale of love, family and betrayal.
  The Ground
  by Siné Kang
  "To read is to perform. I have many names, however, that cannot be true. The title of this text has been changed many times, and these are the names I can still recall: 'Drinking milk', 'Look!', 'The Breath', and 'Sin'. I am afraid of making mistakes. It seems mistakes are omnipresent, and the phobia about making a mistake is never discontinued. I am afraid I am alone."
  So starts Sine Kang's existential tale of a mother and son. Sine's work delves into the ideas of hatred, knowledge, the world, perfection, and the concept of words themselves.
  With confidence in the written word, Sine's masterful work rouses the readers mind in concepts and thoughts that will preoccupy a mind long after the work has been completed. Through witnessing the discussion between a mother and son, a son's whose voice is ignored, and a mother whose ignorance is forced, we come to understand that the long discussions of Mother and Son on the page is merely an example of the discussions we wish to have with our friends, our loved ones, and ourselves.
  Siné is a poet and playwright in South Korea. She lives on an island called Namhae-gun. And she invites you to read along.

  While investigating this ghost, Munter meets and befriends Nobuko, a bereaved woman with a fierce drinking problem of her own. Their adventures bring them to late cafes and pub quizzes, as they roam the streets with the pale and the pole-axed, with God, Chinese philosophy . . . and a moose – whatever that is.
  Could Nobuko be Munter's ticket out of exile?
  But when his new ally disappears one night under mysterious circumstances, Munter must face up to all the demons he left behind.
  What's the Moose, Munter? is a ghostly bittersweet tale of lonely souls... and their slime-green cans?
