  Philippe Meunier se disait que son subconscient lui jouait des tours ; que la fatigue conjuguée à la vague ressemblance de quelqu’un se rendant au troisième le mettait dans l’erreur. C’était à cet étage-là que vivait encore le pauvre Émile, emmuré dans la tristesse de son veuvage… 
  Qu’est-ce que signifiait ce micmac ? Pourquoi Henriette hantait-elle soudainement l’immeuble de ses va-et-vient incessants ? 
  Le petit immeuble situé 16 rue des Clarisses renfermait décidément bien des secrets. 
   
  Avec Anamorphose, Charlène Mauwls adopte le style de la littérature policière du 19ème siècle qui lui permet de mettre en mots la vie quotidienne de ses personnages, et nous plonge dans l’univers Hitchcockien des habitants de cet immeuble avec lesquels l’agent d’assurances Philippe Meunier a tissé des liens étroits.  
  Le suspense monte à chaque étage, et la psychose gagne…. mais oui… pourquoi n’avait-il pas fait le rapprochement quand la réponse était là sous ses yeux ?

  Sisters Hope and Summer Bailey run Bailey's Boutique, a mystic shop in Asheville, North Carolina. While Hope's performing a palm reading, a local doctor, Dylan Henshaw, bursts in, accusing them of trying to kill his patient with a tincture. The confrontation is interrupted by the arrival of the sisters' grandmother, Gram, who announces that one of her friends has died suddenly. It looks like a simple allergic reaction…but why has a solitary Tarot card—the Fool—been placed on the body? When another of Gram's friends dies in similar circumstances, with the Fool card also left at the scene, it's surely no coincidence. Although Hope is hesitant to read the Tarot again following a recent tragedy, she might be the only one capable of deciphering the clues. Can she overcome her fear and uncover the card's meaning before the killer strikes again?

  Award-winning author Darcy Tamayose returns with Ezra’s Ghosts, a collection of fantastical stories linked by a complex mingling of language and culture, as well as a deep understanding of grief and what it makes of us. Within these pages a scholar writes home from the Ryukyu islands, not knowing that his hometown will soon face a deadly calamity of its own. Another seeker of truth is trapped in Ezra after her violent death, and must watch how her family—and her killer—alter in her absence. The oldest man in town, an immigrant who came to Canada to escape imperial hardships, sprouts wings, and a wounded journalist bears witness to his transformation. Finally, past and present collide as a researcher reflects on the recent skinwars that have completely altered the world’s topography. Binding the stories together is an intersect of arrival and departure—in a quiet prairie town called Ezra.
