  The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells is a chilling blend of science fiction and gothic horror that explores the perilous consequences of unchecked ambition. When a disfigured, bandaged stranger arrives in the quiet English village of Iping, his presence sparks rumors, suspicion, and eventually chaos. This stranger is Griffin—a brilliant scientist who has unlocked the secret to invisibility, but at the cost of his humanity. 
  As the townsfolk grow increasingly uneasy, Griffin’s unstable behavior and ruthless desperation begin to surface. What begins as scientific triumph descends into isolation, madness, and violence. In this gripping narrative, Wells masterfully weaves themes of identity, power, and the ethical limits of science. 
  Narrated by George Griffin, this classic tale resonates with eerie relevance, offering both a thrilling mystery and a powerful cautionary tale about the price of pursuing greatness without conscience.

  Transgressive, transformative short stories that explore the margins of trans lives. 
   
   
   
  Building on the success of All City, here is a wry, and at the same time dark and risk-taking, story collection from author (and baker) Alex DiFrancesco that pushes the boundaries of transgender awareness and filial bonds. Here is the hate between sixteen-year-old Junie, who is transitioning, and their mom's boyfriend Chad when the family moves into Chad's house on Lake Erie. And here is the love being tested between Sawyer and his dad, who named his boat after his child and resists changing it from Sara to Sawyer now. There is DiFrancesco's willingness to enter lands that are violent and comfortless in some of these stories, testing the limits of what it means to be human, sometimes returning stronger and wiser and sometimes not returning at all as their characters surge forward into unknown spaces. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  Port Hope, the sleepy town that rests along the coast of Lake Huron, is the last place one would expect to find a dead body – much less a body that so closely resembles the one Jerry and Gunter uncovered in Tennessee. 
  Is the redhead spirit that visits Max in her dreams simply a wayward ghost that haunts Pointe Aux Barques Lighthouse? Or, will Jerry, Max and Gunter, discover a truth too frightening to be labeled a mere coincidence?
