  Leighton Voss arrives on Echo Island, drawn by reports of strange occurrences which have disrupted its once tranquil serenity. As an investigative journalist with a passion for uncovering hidden stories, Leighton hopes to uncover the truth behind the island's mysteries, something that might offer the clarity she's been seeking, both in her career and her personal life. What she doesn't expect is to become entangled in a mystery that feels far more personal and unsettling than anything she's chased before.
  While exploring the island's jagged cliffs, Leighton stumbles upon a hidden passage that leads her to a world frozen in time -- a vintage village suspended in the past and a woman named Audrey, whose quiet sadness seems to hold the key to the island's strange happenings. Audrey's elegance and mysterious presence immediately draw Leighton in, and as the two grow closer, Leighton finds herself deeply immersed in the enigma surrounding Audrey and the island. 
  Caught between the need to uncover the truth and her growing, undeniable feelings for Audrey, Leighton is forced to face an impossible choice. There may be a way out of the cycle that has entrapped the island, but escaping it could mean losing the woman she's come to care for. As the tension between the promise of freedom and her emotional attachment to Audrey intensifies, Leighton must confront how much she's willing to sacrifice -- not just for her own future, but for the woman who has captured her heart.

  I Am Alien to Life - Selected...

  Djuna Barnes is rightly remembered for Nightwood, her breakthrough and final novel: a hallmark of modernist literature, championed by T. S. Eliot, and one of the first, strangest, and most brilliant novels of love between women to be published in the twentieth century. Barnes's career began long before Nightwood, however, with journalism, essays, drama, and satire of extraordinary wit and courage. Long into her later life, after World War II, when she published nothing more, it was her short fiction above all that she prized and would continue to revise. 
   
   
   
  Here are all the stories Barnes sought to preserve, in the versions she preferred, as well as a smattering of rarities as selected by critic and New Yorker contributor Merve Emre. These are tales of women "'tragique' and 'triste' and 'tremendous' all at once," of sons and daughters being initiated into the ugly comedy of life, monuments all to a worldview singular and scathing. As Emre writes in her foreword "[Barnes's] themes are love and death, especially in Paris and New York; the corruption of nature by culture; the tainted innocence of children; and the mute misery of beasts . . . her characters may be alien to life, but they are alive—spectacularly, grotesquely alive."
