  Difficult People

  Manipulators and liars, egomaniacs, bullies, interrupters, condescenders, ice queens, backstabbers, hypocrites, withholders, belligerents, self-deceivers, whiners, know-it-alls, nitpickers: these are some of the characters you’ll encounter in Difficult People, a collection of stories that investigates and celebrates difficult people (and some animals).
   
  As these characters fumble through their quests for YouTube fame, stand-up glory, romantic love, stable employment or anyone who can tolerate them, they reveal that we are all, in our own ways, difficult people.
   
  Praise for Catriona Wright’s recent book of poetry, Table Manners:
   
  “... a baroque feast of juicy diction and inventive wordplay that explores food as social ritual and slippery signifier of desire.”
   
  —Barb Carey, The Toronto Star
   
  “Deft, dark, and unflinching, Catriona Wright’s work is stand-up comedy for the mind.”
   
  —Emily Schultz, author of The Blondes
   
  “If you've ever Instagrammed your lunch, or directed distain toward somebody who has, this is the book for you. The poems are vivid, surprising, and pretty much devourable.”
   
  —Kerry Clare, 49th Shelf
   
  “Tightly woven and elaborate in their conceit, the poems in Table Manners linger both on the mind and palate.”
   
  —Gillian Sze, Montreal Review of Books

  Sub Tweet 
  A Crazy Ink Anthology 
  Because someone needs to ask… 
  What's the truth behind the tweets? 
   "Grrrrr."           
  "Some people shouldn't use up oxygen." 
  "So done." 
   
  We've all seen the vague posts and tweets. We've all sat, wondering exactly how we should be responding to the oh-so-distressed regular sub tweeters who use social media as personal diaries aimed at making sure inquiring minds want to know. 
   
  But what's the real story behind the hashtags? 
   
  "Grrrr." (I stubbed my toe). 
  "Some people shouldn't use up oxygen." (Filling up balloons). 
  "So done." (With not getting attention). 
   
  A group of sassy authors will set out on a quest to collect vague book posts and sub tweets and unravel the mystery of all that 'please-ask' drama… 
   
  Sub Tweet, A Crazy Ink Anthology, will leave you fugly laughing, horrified, begging for more, and most certainly, never able to look at a vague status the same way again…

  Pursuit - Humorous Stories

  Laurie Brady

  Recollecting school escapades, ridding a house of lust, a practical joke misfiring, dealing with a boy’s swearing, a talking dog, a woman’s take on the Odysseus legend, dogged self-centredness, a suspect solution to the world’s problems, bizarre seductions, an afterlife wish granted, a jinxed lover pursuing his beloved… These are some of the themes of the seventeen humorous short stories in Pursuit involving a variety of comic expressions: situational, satirical, burlesque and even the ridiculous. While the impact of humour in the stories is largely attributable to incongruity, or some departure from the ‘normal’, the stories have more than just entertainment value. They make telling and sometimes poignant observations about the nature of the human condition.

  Award-winning author and powerhouse talent Roxane Gay burst onto the scene with An Untamed State and the New York Times bestselling essay collection Bad Feminist (Harper Perennial). Gay returns with Difficult Women, a collection of stories of rare force and beauty, of hardscrabble lives, passionate loves, and quirky and vexed human connection.The women in these stories live lives of privilege and of poverty, are in marriages both loving and haunted by past crimes or emotional blackmail. A pair of sisters, grown now, have been inseparable ever since they were abducted together as children, and must negotiate the elder sister's marriage. A woman married to a twin pretends not to realize when her husband and his brother impersonate each other. A stripper putting herself through college fends off the advances of an overzealous customer. A black engineer moves to Upper Michigan for a job and faces the malign curiosity of her colleagues and the difficulty of leaving her past behind. From a girls’ fight club to a wealthy subdivision in Florida where neighbors conform, compete, and spy on each other, Gay delivers a wry, beautiful, haunting vision of modern America reminiscent of Merritt Tierce, Jamie Quatro, and Miranda July.

  Cardinal sins, they vary by person, but seven always seem to make the list. 
  Pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth. 
  These are said to be obvious, everyday sins, but something about them isn't so ordinary. 
  What happens when these excessive desires become more than a craving, but a way of life? 
  Prepare to meet the embodiment of each. 
  Seven authors present seven deadly sins and what happens when you give in to temptation. 
  Forgive us, for we have sinned...and we will do it again and again.
