This is the second part of the story about the archeologist Jack Brevier, the treasure of Teipses –– a very powerful artifact that could dramatically influence the world –– and his struggle for survival amidst a war that has been waged for decades maybe centuries.
The fiction and poetry of Queer Little Nightmares reimagines monsters old and new through a queer lens, subverting the horror gaze to celebrate ideas and identities canonically feared in monster lit. Throughout history, monsters have appeared in popular culture as stand-ins for the non-conforming, the marginalized of society. Pushed into the shadows as objects of fear, revulsion, and hostility, these characters have long conjured fascination and self-identification in the LGBTQ+ community, and over time, monsters have become queer icons. In Queer Little Nightmares, creatures of myth and folklore seek belonging and intimate connection, cryptids challenge their outcast status, and classic movie monsters explore the experience of coming into queerness. The characters in these stories and poems — the Minotaur camouflaged in a crowd of cosplayers, a pubescent werewolf, a Hindu revenant waiting to reunite with her lover, a tender-hearted kaiju, a lagoon creature aching for the swimmers above him, a ghost of Pride past — relish their new sparkle in the spotlight. Pushing against tropes that have historically been used to demonize, the queer creators of this collection instead ask: What does it mean to be (and to love) a monster? Contributors include Amber Dawn, David Demchuk, Hiromi Goto, jaye simpson, Eddy Boudel Tan, Matthew J. Trafford, and Kai Cheng Thom.Voir livre

From the author of the internationally acclaimed book club favorite, The Covert Buccaneer comes this luminous collection of slice-of-life vignettes that capture fleeting moments before they vanish — the small, human intervals that rarely announce their importance until memory claims them. Written across years and places — from Italy to Chicago to the shifting neighborhoods of San Francisco — these brief pieces preserve ordinary life with uncommon attentiveness: an afternoon in a mischievous Fiat, commuters bound by tacit ritual, a house that disappeared without warning, a mother writing to children she worries will forget they were loved, a recipe rescued while no one was paying attention, and a city corner where children speak Italian. Each vignette stands alone while covertly conversing with the others, forming a mosaic of lived experience. The collection resists agenda and argument. It doesn't explain itself or rush toward relevance. Instead, it invites readers into a series of remembered rooms — intimate spaces where time slows, attention sharpens, and the ordinary briefly becomes resplendent. Una Dozzina rewards browsing, revisiting, and serendipity. Though the order of pieces is carefully curated, readers may open it anywhere and linger. It will speak to anyone who has loved a place that disappeared, a person they could not keep, or a moment only recognized once it had become memory. Ideal for readers of literary nonfiction, flash prose, and contemplative essays — and for admirers of works such as From Scratch by Tembi Locke, Harper Lee's The Land of Sweer Forever, and the reflective lineage of writers like Natalia Ginzburg and Joan Didion. With occasional flashes of the compressed, observational clarity found in García Márquez’s shorter chronicles, this collection honors the unsung art of noticing and the enduring beauty, tragedy, and hushed magic of what passes.Voir livre
