A dream novel loosely inspired by Destroyer's 2002 album This Night, In the Sight is a short road novel, a book about DIY brain modification, and an ode to gas station convenience stores.

The water is rising... Toilets overflow, and wages are low. Jobs are lost, and time is money. Time is money, and so is your body. Addictions relapse, and friendships falter. Meaning evades your grasp, and God is dead. God is dead, and so is your father... Your mind refuses you its secrets, and the immutable other, too often, tells the truth. K Hank Jost's charybdic anti-epic, MadStone, glitters with the strewn gore of every eviscerated day, the innards and excretions of both body and mind, unwinding a nauseous fugue of hungover prophecy, macerated identity, and the collapse of all distance between selves.Far from pornographizing misery, MadStone nullifies it. Here, catastrophe is synonymous with the mundane. With a near-biblical swagger and inscrutability, MadStone unravels the ruination of six lives in a contrapuntal plea against self-obsession, incuriosity, and the spectacle of disaster. As equally erudite as it is vehemently anti-academic, MadStone poses, once again, the unanswerable question of modernity: How, after all of this, are we meant to go on living?

In hilariously methodical prose, Joey Truman's Percolator takes us on an existential joyride through one day in the life of two inept roommates. This is Beckett meets grunge in a survival novel struggling to make it through the front door. Stove pot coffee is key.Jess Barbagallo

Here you are, shopping for books online because honestly, who has the energy to go out anymore? There are so many people out there, all buying the same Oprah-stickered crap to take to the coffee shop and Instagram next to their PSLs and blueberry muffins with one perfect bite taken out (or pretend to read until their latest Tinder date shows up). It's insufferable - the performance of it all - and everyone knows small presses are where the real literary vanguard is happening these days anyway. Well, maybe not everyone. But that's kind of the point of your being here, isn't it?You consider yourself something of a snob when it comes to your reading choices, though not in a pretentious way. You're discerning is all. A serious person of uniquely refined and sophisticated tastes. Perhaps you felt drawn to click on this particular novel due to its provocative, all-caps title, or the cheeky contrast between its memeified typeface and classical-realist cover art. Perhaps you were intrigued by the blurbs and social media chatter invoking transgressive iconoclasts like Michel Houellebecq, Bret Easton Ellis, and Chuck Palahniuk. Or perhaps you're already an acolyte of this particular indie press and its stated mission of "degeneracy and degradation." You are, after all, the kind of unflappable literary deviant who actively seeks to have your ethical buttons pushed and your moral boundaries tested. The kind who enjoys nothing quite so much as a vicarious tramp through such aberrantly foul and filthy lives as you could never dare live yourself. And the kind who, even while wallowing in narcissism and self-loathing at your own complicity in same, feels such a profoundly personal anguish at the ongoing commodification of all art beneath the endless crush of content culture that you probably think this book is about you, (don't you? Don't you?).And quite frankly, if you've read this far, then maybe it is. Maybe you are exactly who this book is about. And by. And for. And as such, maybe you should give it a look, and let the world know exactly what you think. It's not like anyone reads anymore anyway. They're all too busy watching, and posting, and "liking" and "following" to notice a true original like you. So what's the difference? Why shouldn't you add your voice to the fray? After all, nothing matters these days quite so much as what you think about it. And as you've already mentioned, you do have excellent taste.

Franz Herbert suffers from epileptic seizures; are they a curse that takes him away from his wife, family, and friends, or a gift that allows him to explore the depths of the cosmos?An exploration of a man's struggle with a neurological disease, the nature of reality, and the workings of his own mind, The Astronomer is both a love story and the tale of a man's journey to find his place in the universe.

Bunny, a 1950s housewife and heiress to a small Texas oil fortune, grows bored with her own life and comparing herself to her sister. She first exerts creative control over the ranch house she shares with her husband in extravagant interior design - lush curtains, velvet sofas, and glass ashtrays, but she soon finds it's not enough. A pervasive loneliness drives her into the sudden center of a group of seekers who might be in touch with forces beyond her own understanding. An aging Hollywood film star, Jessica, purchases the same house in an attempt to recede into the background of her own life. Bored with Los Angeles, and hoping to reenact a scene from Dallas, she instead finds she no longer knows how to blend in. She spends her days tanning and getting tipsy in the expansive lawn that she doesn't know how to maintain. But, when her past resurfaces in the present, she must make a choice to guide her own future happiness. The house, now dilapidated and no longer in a desirable neighborhood, is bought on the cheap by Amanda, an aspiring influencer turned house flipper. She hopes to flip the house and win a reality TV show and, with it, a host of new followers. She soon realizes, her job, her interests, even her boyfriend, were chosen with a certain superficiality and this house might be the first tangible step to manifesting a new reality. A steely-eyed feminist, multi-generational novel, Foundations is told in three parts following the lives of three women all living in the same Dallas house in different eras, whose experiences parallel the history of women's rights struggles in the American south.

After losing his father to suicide, he is cut adrift from a family he has always been at odds with: an older sister who has never understood him, and a grieving mother who can't even bear the sight of him.

When someone goes through a difficult time, it is easy to think that no one understands. It is difficult to believe that there is an overarching plan that could make sense of the situation. For example, consider how much pain Jesus' death on the cross must have caused his mother (Mary), as well as other family members and close friends (disciples). Mary obeyed God but still must have suffered through various hardships, all of which were part of God's redemptive plan. With Mary as an example of someone enduring many difficulties and hardships but remaining obedient to God's calling, I hope that this book will encourage you (even in those times of suffering) that God is in control and has a bigger plan than we can imagine. It doesn't mean it won't hurt during those times, as Mary indeed experienced. After all, God sacrificed his son for each of us. It caused pain and suffering in many ways for Jesus, his family, and his friends. During that time of despair, Jesus' family and friends could not see the big picture-not until they experienced Jesus' resurrection from the dead. Likewise, it is impossible for us to fully know why we experience various forms of grief, at least not at the time. What we do have is the promise of his return. At that point, we will experience pure joy. Until then, I pray that you get hope and encouragement from God through this book, the stories, and experiences of everyday people, as well as the stories of people throughout the Bible. God has a plan, even if you don't understand it or don't know what it is.

The story we tell ourselves is the one that becomes the most true . . . But what if that story is based on the wrong information?We're told that history tends to repeat itself. We're not told that unaddressed trauma and emotional wounds can be passed from one generation to the next. In very real ways-backed by science--we inherit the pain of our ancestors, creating generational patterns of trauma and dysfunction.In Generations Deep, author and licensed professional counselor Gina Birkemeier helps readers explore the impact of generational patterns and the dangers of passing dysfunctional and traumatic cycles from one generation to the next. She combines memoir, ancestry, questionnaires and inventories developed by trauma-informed mental health professionals, and journal prompts, along with Scripture and scientific research. The result? A practical, life-applicable book unlike anything else that's out there today. As you read, you will feel like you are "in the room" with Gina. She will speak to your story regardless of your faith orientation and perhaps challenge your definition of trauma along the way.If you are interested in the power of familial legacy and what it means to be a cycle breaker, this is the book for you. It will help you slay shame and find the freedom God wants for you, and for the generations after you.

A man mysteriously disappears in a lighthouse, as if dissolved by light, leaving behind a notebook filled with bizarre claims of a curse and a series of drawings entitled 'The Death of the Jubilant Child.' The investigation into the disappearance unearths hidden connections between the disappeared man, Helene and the strange figure of the Man With The Forks In His Fingers. Fifteen years later, the discovery of the detective's copy of the notebook by Helene's daughter seems to set in motion a repetition of the events of the past.Circuitously structured and intensely lyrical, The Autodidacts explores the mythos of friendship, the necessity of failure, the duty of imagination, and the dreams of working class lives demanding to be beautiful. It is a prayer in denial of its heresy, a metafictional-roman-a-clef trying to maintain its concealment, and an attempt to love that shows its workings out in the margins of its construction.
