  Naomi Shepherd is a prize-winning historian and biographer; here she turns her hand to fiction, revealing a razor-sharp eye, a finely attuned ear, and a keen sense of cultural dissonance. In each of these thirteen stories we see a different facet of a fast-changing country where the clash of cultures and of expectations creates situations rich in humour, poignancy, disappointment, and tragedy. 'The short stories in Naomi Shepherd's collection Ashes are a delight. In them we encounter themes of adultery, love, jealousy, loss, guilt, encroaching age, et cetera, set in an Israel of many modes, and Israel shaped by its heritage, its history, and, above all, its inhabitants, Jew and Arab, all gathered together not so much in a melting pot as in a stew concocted of intractable, discordant elements. We are presented, in short, with an anatomy of Israeli society, a species of social tragic-comedy.' Alan Isler, author of The Prince of West End Avenue

  Managing The Coach House Trailer Park keeps Eddie busy, if not exactly fulfilled. 
  But the woman in the cottage at Space Twelve is stirring up the neighborhood; yes, indeed. Willow Goodhope is making waves, and Eddie's a little swept off his feet by the ripple effect she's set into motion. Something about the woman has every protective cell in his body on high alert. For one thing, he doesn't like the way his good-for-nothing brother, Donny, is batting his baby blues at her. He's even more disturbed by the threat of a stalker on the property, and he's determined to do whatever it takes to make sure the residents under his care stay safe. 
  When he comes face to face with the Shadowman in the middle of the night, however, Eddie questions everything he thought he knew about Ms. Goodhope... and himself. 
  Pick up Elderberry Croft: May Enchantment today and find out if Eddie discovers who the Shadowman really is.

  In this volume of stories and illustrations, the author of Poor Things “perfected the blend of visual and verbal elements [that] characterized his work” (Financial Times).   In “The Crank that Made the Revolution,” an enterprising inventor presents the world with his contribution to the Industrial Revolution: an “improved duck.” When a man splits in two, it isn’t long before his two selves come to blows in “The Spread of Ian Nicol.” And a young boy witnesses a shooting star land in his back garden in “The Star.” In these and other short stories of the strange and fascinating, Alasdair Gray reaffirms his reputation as one of Scotland’s most original and important contemporary writers.   In Unlikely Stories, Mostly, Alasdair Gray combines his surreal and darkly funny stories with original artwork to create a truly unique reading experience. This edition includes a postscript by the author and Douglas Gifford.  “The book is a wonder of ingenuity, a varied and rich collection in which Gray's abilities as a visual artist and illustrator are placed not only beside but within the products of his fertile imagination as a writer.” —The Washington Post  “Not since William Blake has a British artist wed pictorial and literary talent to such powerful effect.” —Financial Times
