Set in 1901, a Lithuanian family separated by war and poverty must find a way to reunite despite being on different continents.

Guy Sutter Jr. discovers an old Rolodex owned by his deceased father. He discovers both a secret history and a startling new window into his own childhood.

In a strange and troubled near future, a cure for mortality has been discovered, one that comes with a sky-high price tag and requires vast quantities of human blood to manufacture. As society schisms into have-nots and haves, mortals and Immortals, two very different families confront the new reality. The Hudsons, once homeless, now swap their blood for food, shelter, and the dream of a better life, while the Davenports turn on each other over an inheritance large enough to secure Immortality for only one of them. When scandal brings the Hudsons and Davenports together, they form a fraught and unlikely partnership, grappling with their own fractured family dynamics while facing the ever-present threat of ruin and death. In T.N. Eyer's propulsive, thoughtful debut, meaning and purpose are elusive goals in a world shorn of the usual understandings of empathy and obligation.

In Between Spaces, Stillhouse Press's first ever anthology, centers the experiences of thirty-three disabled poets, short-story writers, and essayists as they navigate the physical and emotional complexities of disability, chronic illness, neurodivergence, and mental illness. Compiled by an editorial team of disabled writers, this timely collection of often-overlooked voices celebrates joy, freedom, and the power of agency, while at the same time confronting and challenging the stigmas and barriers, visible and invisible, that too often come to define life with a disability."e;Stories of disability are too few and too often told by non-disabled writers, but this collection's value goes far beyond representation. The wise, funny, heartbreaking, and joyful work in these pages can show any reader, disabled or not, how to navigate an unpredictable world."e; -James Tate Hill, author of Blind Man's Bluff "e;Nobody is ever out of the woods. Life is all about the woods,"e; Teresa Milbrodt explains in "e;Cyclops Notes,"e; her nonfiction selection in this remarkable anthology of poetry and prose by thirty-three disabled writers. Each author guides the reader through the woods, along widely divergent paths of hope, fear, anger, humor, wisdom, patience, resignation. What they all have in common is the clarity and beauty of their writing. In "e;pain(t)-by-number,"e; Lili Sarayrah tells us, "e;... when you see more than one side, speak more than one language, and know more than one kind of pain, you have trouble filling out forms."e; This book won't help you fill out forms, but it will help you to confront and appreciate the complexities of life. -Joanne Durham, poet and author of To Drink from a Wider Bowl "e;In Between Spaces is filled with unbridled vulnerability, searing empathy, and a sense of far-reaching hope. But more than anything, this is an anthology pierced through with beauty. I was left in tears of sadness and hope."e; -Tod Goldberg, New York Times bestselling author of Gangsterland, Gangster Nation, and The Low Desert: Gangster Stories

The fourteen spellbinding stories in Michelle Ross's second collection invite readers into the shadows of social-media perfectionism and the relentless cult of motherhood. A recovering alcoholic navigates the social landscape of a toddler playdate; a mother of two camps out in a van to secure her son's spot at a prestigious kindergarten; a young girl forces her friends to play an elaborate, unwinnable game. With unflinching honesty and vivid, lyric prose, Ross explores the familial ties that bind us together-or, sometimes, tear us apart.

When a seemingly routine medical procedure results in her mother's premature death, Anne Panning is left reeling. In her first full-length memoir, the celebrated essayist draws on decades of memory and experience as she pieces together the hard truths about her own past and her mother's. We follow Panning's winding path from rural Minnesota to the riverbanks of Vietnam's Mekong Delta and all the way back again-a stark, poignant tale of two women deeply connected, yet somehow forever apart. Dragonfly Notes is a testament to the prevailing nature of love, whether in the form of a rediscovered note, a sudden moment of unexpected recall, or sometimes, simply, the sight a dragonfly flitting past.

When Mark Polanzak was seventeen, his father spontaneously combusted on the tennis court, vanishing forever. It is also entirely possible that he died of a heart attack. Either way, his father's death is a story Polanzak spends much of his life trying to get right. POP! captures the authenticity and absurdity of the grieving process with grace and humor.

YOU WANT A STORY OF PROGRESS, BUT IT'S FALL.In her fourth collection, celebrated poet and author Megan Merchant uses the natural world as her canvas, mapping the abstract shape of the American social consciousness onto a wintry landscape of marriage, motherhood, and grief.Suffused with autumnal decay and the silent promise of snow, Merchant’s collection serves as a powerful distillation of the ageless themes of memory and loss.
