Pam Kowolski is a Monster!

Sarah Langan

Sinopse

If Janet Chow hadn’t been such a jerk to everyone at Sewanhaka High, they might have voted her Most Likely to Succeed. Twenty-plus years later, life hasn’t turned out how Janet expected. She’s rudderless, her career in journalism crashed, burned, and buried. How did it come to this?

But then one day, Janet recognizes her mortal enemy from high school—Pam Kowolski! Somehow, Pam’s become America’s manic pixie sweetheart, an online psychic predicting the end of the world. Pam’s rich, hawt, and famous, meanwhile Janet looks...middle aged. How did this happen? How did Pam Kowolski steal Janet’s life?

Janet knows the truth: there’s no way a dumb ass like Pam earned her success. She’s lying about her powers. The world isn’t ending. Pam’s a FRAUD. It’s time for Janet to wake up and claim what’s hers by writing an article that TAKES PAM DOWN. But to reveal Pam, she’s got to dig deep into their shared past. There’s bad stuff back there, scary stuff, and the more Janet learns, the more she worries: what if Pam Kowolski is right?

“A high school reunion is the end of the world in this slap-happy, upbeat carnival ride into the Apocalypse.”— Grady Hendrix, author of Witchcraft for Wayward Girls

"…simply genius in the way it explores the changeable nature of memory and whether it’s possible to escape a traumatic past. No one writes defiant, damaged characters like Sarah Langan; no matter how they try to hide it, you see every bruise.” —Alma Katsu, author of The Fervor

“Creepy and manic, Langan’s mixed media novella will grip you, pull you in, and take you right to the center of its beating, bloody heart.”

—Kate Maruyama, author of Bleak Houses, The Collective, and Harrowgate

“…totally unhinged, absurdly delightful, a ripper of a novella.”—Lindy Ryan, author of Another Fine Mess

“I couldn’t have loved this more. Funny, smart, disturbing, creepy. The novella that 2025 deserves.”—Paul Tremblay, author of Horror Movie

A Suitcase Full of Koalas

Fil Bufalo

A Suitcase Full of Koalas is a modern, edgy travel book set to test your wits and memory for detail. Gallivanting around London and somewhere distinctly south of the great capital in a sleepy seaside village, the author finds herself handing out tiny furry koalas to the English, to the Polish, to the Italians, in fact to anyone who cares to accept the little fellas as a gift from Australia. In her moochings over a month, she manages to meet a myriad of characters from all walks of life who practically jump off the pavements, à la Mary Poppins and Bert, and into the book.  
 
This is a book about life and living – about the human condition and quest for feathering one’s own nest. As John Donne observed, ‘No man is an island’, but sometimes we yearn to embrace solitude and sit with ourselves and a good book. A Suitcase Full of Koalas will inevitably tickle your fancy and have you laughing on every other page. But that’s a good thing, isn’t it?

The Macher - My Father's Story

Michael Mish

This is a fictional short story of a man’s life and death.  
	The Greeks got it right long ago. Many aspects of our lives are tragic. 
	The Father/son relationship – such an unsavory mix of love and hate. Pride and shame. Support and competition. 
	Wouldn’t it stand to reason that what plays out in the family, also plays out on the world stage. 
	And here, in as few words as possible, the irony of ironies is laid out in a narrative. An often humorous narrative. The son ponders the uncomfortable juncture of mid-life as his father tries coming to terms with his final days of life. 
		“For us, both of our identities were about to die. My identity with my former life. His identity with his body on this earth. And here we sat, two men shaken by uncertainty. Trying to love each other as best we could in spite of our emotional fragility.”

Chasing Victory: A Romantic...

Beverley Watts

Another perfect holiday read with lots of romance and laugh out loud comedy, Chasing Victory is the fourth entry in the Dartmouth Diaries.

Kit Davies has been dating the gorgeous Captain Jason Buchannan for six months. Six whole months of being wheeled out as his significant other at various Naval functions. While she's not convinced she has the makings of a future Officer's wife, things have been pretty good, and at least she hasn't caused a diplomatic incident - yet.

Then one memorable evening, Jason drops a bombshell. His father’s health is failing and he wants to retire from the Royal Navy, and relocate to his crumbling ancestral home in the wilds of Scotland. And he wants Kit to go with him.

But Kit has too much unfinished business in Dartmouth to just up sticks and leave. She’s worked hard to build up her Event Management business, then there’s her best friend Tory who’s just had a baby, and her Aunt Flo who to date still hasn’t told Kit the whole truth about her father.

When Hollywood superstar Noah Westbrook agrees to help finance Jason’s plans to convert his pile of ruins into a luxury hotel, Kit begins to get desperate. How can she leave everything she’s ever known for a man she’s only known for six months? It’s no secret that she has trust issues, not to mention a ridiculous fear of change. In fact, burying her head in the sand is probably her strongest talent...

Decision time comes as Jason’s father Hugo goes missing from hospital. It’s no surprise to anyone that Tory’s irresponsible father is at the bottom of it, but in deciding to drag his old friend on an impromptu road trip across the country, the meddling Admiral may finally have gone too far…

Chasing Victory is the perfect laugh-out-loud, feel good book for fans of funny love stories, especially quirky British Romantic Comedies.

The Montegiallo School of Swearing

Andrew HC McDonald

Accidentally buying a Sicilian villa for just one euro is not the great Eat, Pray, Love game changer that Brian Chapman hopes it would be. 
 
Instead, tumbledown buildings, a shortage of plumbers, and resentful locals make Brian’s drunken whim look like the biggest mistake of his chequered career so far.  
 
Who could believe that an outbreak of swearing would lead not only to cultural reconciliation but to this very Australian fish out of water finding true love in Italy? 
 
 ‘A raw and comedic romp into the heart of Italy. It’s Eat, Pray, Love, Swear – an unfiltered story of finding yourself for one euro.’ MICHELLE JOHNSTON
