Fascism Speaks
What if religion was the first weapon of control? Fascism Speaks Book 2: Propaganda Paige & the TIDE Manifesto follows Paige as she tears through time and lands in Salem, 1692, a town drowning in fear, men hiding cruelty behind scripture, and women burning for their clarity. Paige doesn't come to convert or confess. She comes to stop the lie that faith excuses power. When the hangings start, she turns their justice against them, exposing the sickness beneath their prayers. As the town collapses, the women who survive rise beside her. Together, they write the TIDE Manifesto-Target, Inspire, Disrupt, Empower-a rebellion disguised as scripture. Their words spread faster than the flames, reaching beyond Salem to every place built on fear. Paige doesn't save the past. She burns it clean so something human can grow in its place. Because every age builds new witch hunts, and every empire still needs someone to blame.
Fascism Speaks
What if the birth of freedom was built on a lie? Fascism Speaks Book 1: Propaganda Paige & The Missing Prosperity tears into the myth of America's beginnings, showing the rot beneath the marble. The founding fathers aren't men of vision, they're men of property, obsessed with power, writing liberty into law while keeping their boots on other people's necks. Paige is sent back in time to kill them, not out of hatred, but because the disease they started never died. She moves through 1776 like a mirror held to our own decay, cutting through the hypocrisy that still defines us. This isn't the history in schoolbooks or speeches. It's the story of what happens when empire meets conscience, when the lies that built a nation finally face judgment. Paige isn't trying to save the past. She's trying to end its hold on us, and with it, just maybe, save our future, if we can learn to wake up and stand our ground.
I'm Glad He's Dead
I'm Glad He's Dead: Fascism Hurts by Eloise Yarvin, with an introduction by Esme Mees, a founding author and editor at Eatms Productions, burrows deep into the sickness of our time. It reads like a confession from a country that knows what it's done but can't bring itself to say it out loud. This dark, fictional oral history takes place in a basement, where survivors of fascism, greed, and hypocrisy speak the kind of truths that polite society no longer wants to hear. One by one, under a single light, they explain why they are "glad he's dead." Not out of hate. Out of exhaustion. Out of release. These are the voices of the bombed family, the silenced woman, the poisoned river, the worker left behind. Together they show what happens when cruelty becomes policy and power walks away untouched. Yarvin and Eatms Productions don't moralize. They simply hold open the wound. The result is a haunting parable about what we've allowed to fester in plain sight. It is fiction, but it feels like testimony- raw, unfiltered, and frighteningly true.
Live the Dream, Africa!
Live the Dream - Africa, is a sequel to A Trail to Prosperity-The Journey of One from Escaping Autocracy, Poverty, and Despair to the Land of Opportunity. A Trail to Prosperity explores brain drain out of sub-Saharan Africa and captures the experiences of youths and professionals who fled their home countries. Live the Dream - Africa takes a bird's eye view of the progress in post-colonial Africa since independence and narrates a dream of an imaginary realm that the main character, Lans, once had. Lans paid his dues as the immigrant who fled his home-land, and strenuously worked his way up to his American dream. Now he feels accomplished but exhausted and a little home-sick. As he navigates through early retirement, searching for his next gig, he had a dream that launched him into a new realm, where he existed for an extended time. This realm reflects a renaissance in Africa and triggered high levels of euphoria in the sub-Saharan region and even the African diaspora. Economic activities surged, cooperation between nations in the region improved, education outcomes were at an all-time high, manufacturing industries erected in places never seen before, and African landmarks and attractions became targets for tourists to visit and explore. There were no wars to report during this time in the realm. The African Union (AU) became the effective diplomatic and advocacy machine that was originally intended. The AU even created a security alliance, the African Security Alliance (ASA), essentially a military alliance, to guarantee territorial integrity and security of nation-states who were up-to-date with their contributions of 3 percent of GDP. Exciting and insightful reading. The Africa that all Africans would like to have. It was only a dream in this instance. The hope is that it will come to pass someday.

Against the backdrop of a rapidly modernizing Midwest, the narrative focuses on internal and external tensions faced by an individual whose sense of identity is challenged by political ideals and social hierarchies.

Early scenes reveal the emergence of a political consciousness shaped by disappointment and hope, positioning the main character at a threshold between two worlds: one defined by tradition and another by ambition.

Strangers at the Red Door
A GLOBE AND MAIL TOP 100 BOOK OF THE YEAR "The Giller-shortlisted novelist uses the fantastic to tell a thrilling tale of censorship and the artist's need to tell their story." --The Globe and Mail A foreign ghostwriter visiting Hong Kong partners up with the disembodied spirit of the most dangerous novelist in China to find a local bookseller who's been disappeared by the authorities after attempting to smuggle the novelist's subversive masterpiece onto the mainlandAt a train station in China, three people meet, only two of whom are actually alive. The first is Faron Jones, on his way to Hong Kong to interview an Iranian film director-turned-dissident holed up in the Japanese consulate. The second is Mildred Chen, a Hong Kong bookseller detained at the border crossing for attempting to deliver copies of the most dangerous novel in China over to the mainland. The third is the deceased author of that very novel, Jiang Ming, now a wandering spirit trapped in the middle world between life and death.Soon after this encounter, and for no reason he can understand, Faron learns that he's suddenly acquired flawless Mandarin and Cantonese, languages only a day earlier he had no knowledge of. Slowly, the impossible truth that another man's soul has joined his own and now speaks in his voice becomes maddeningly undeniable. With this comes Jiang Ming's extraordinary claim and his urgent request of Faron, and so the ghostwriter and the spirit of the dead novelist trapped within him set upon a search for the one person--the disappeared bookseller--who's able to deliver the Chinese novelist's spirit to his final resting place.Instantly propulsive, wholly original, and like a mirror for our current times, Strangers at the Red Door follows these characters and their quests for freedom, love, and reconciliation. It explores a world in which the boundaries of the physical and the spiritual blur; countries facing uncertain futures intersect; and the struggle of the artist against political oppression becomes an essential act of survival.
Rasputin Swims the Potomac
ONE OF LITHUB"S MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2026From the award-winning, bestselling author of Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk comes a biting satire of American politics and a searingly intelligent novel about the cruel absurdities of contemporary life, centering on a world champion professional wrestler with presidential ambitions Reporter Clarence Thomas Jr. is looking for a great story, former country music teen star Faith Spack has parlayed her fame into a job at the White House, and the two-term incumbent president is campaigning for a constitutionally dubious third term.

Desperate to retain power, he enlists the mystical pro wrestler Rasputin to help ensure his reelection and guarantee additional seasons of his presidential reality TV show, The Real West Wing.

Corporations have no soul to save, and no body to incarcerate. -UnknownIn the spring of 2011, as the Fukushima nuclear disaster unfolds and the 2010 cleanup of the largest off-shore oil spill in history continues in the Gulf of Mexico-Hannah Cassidy, an eighty-five-year-old retired librarian living with Stage IV breast cancer, knowing her death is imminent, formulates a paradigm-shifting plan to tackle out-of-control government corruption and the lack of accountability of corporate recklessness toward public health. Drawing inspiration from a man in a small western Montana town, her greatest challenge is time.Exit Stage IV is a fictional story inspired by real-life industrial public health hazards and corruption. It allows "legal fiction" (corporations) to kill with impunity through their superhuman status of "corporate personhood."The names of the products, executives, and corporations have been changed to protect the guilty.Corporations have no consciences, no beliefs, no feelings, no thoughts, no desires. Corporations help structure and facilitate the activities of human beings, to be sure, and their "personhood" often serves as a useful legal fiction. But they are not themselves members of "We the People" by whom and for whom our Constitution was established. -Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, January 2010

A bold and unforgettable read for lovers of literary fiction with bite.Mohammad Ghassemzadeh (b. 1955, Nahavand, Iran) is an acclaimed Iranian fiction writer, researcher, and compiler whose prolific body of work spans thousands of pages. Known for his literary versatility, historical insight, and commitment to cultural heritage, Ghassemzadeh has made a significant impact on contemporary Persian literature. He began his academic journey at the University of Tehran in 1973, where he found intellectual inspiration not only in the classroom-especially in Simin Daneshvar's History of Art course-but also in the bookstores surrounding the campus. His literary career took off in the 1980s, with his first stories appearing in influential literary magazines such as Gardoon, Takapoo, Adineh, and Donyaye Sokhan. These early works were later collected in his debut short story collection, The Seasonless Birds, largely written during his teaching tenure in Beijing at the Broadcasting University and through his collaboration with Beijing Radio's Persian section. Over the years, Ghassemzadeh has published a wide range of works, including the novels A Knight on a Bit of Wind and The Dance of the Pelican, both experimental in form and narrative. His first novel set in his hometown, An Untimely Lady, remains his most autobiographically grounded work, evoking the spirit of Nahavand and its alleys from his childhood. Deeply influenced by his political awareness as a student during the politically charged 1970s, Ghassemzadeh's fiction often wrestles with social and ideological themes. This is evident in works such as The Impossible Dream of Lijoon (2000), The Dance in the Darkness (2004), and his ambitious long story Picking up the Wind (2013). Ghassemzadeh is also a committed satirist, with Family Secret Memories (1999) standing out as a notable political satire novella. Mahshad Abdoli is a literary translator and English language instructor based in Hamedan, Iran. With a background in pragmatics, semantics, and cross-cultural communication, her work explores the delicate interplay between language, meaning, and cultural nuance. She brings a thoughtful, interpretive sensibility to her translations, approaching each text not only as a linguistic artifact but as a site of cultural encounter and emotional resonance.

The Communist Manifesto
The Communist Manifesto, first published in 1848, is one of the most influential political documents in history, laying the foundation for modern socialism and communism. Written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels at the request of the Communist League, the manifesto serves as both a call to action and a theoretical framework for revolutionary movements aiming to dismantle capitalist societies. The text begins with the iconic declaration, "A spectre is haunting Europe - the spectre of Communism." In the chapters that follow, Marx and Engels provide a historical analysis of class struggles, tracing the evolution of social hierarchies from feudalism to capitalism. They argue that history is defined by the conflict between the oppressor and the oppressed - most notably, the bourgeoisie (capitalist class) and the proletariat (working class). Through sharp critique and persuasive rhetoric, the authors denounce capitalism for its exploitation of labor and accumulation of wealth in the hands of a few. They forecast the inevitable downfall of capitalist systems due to their internal contradictions and predict a global uprising of the working class. The manifesto concludes with a bold rallying cry: "Workers of the world, unite!" Although written in the 19th century, The Communist Manifesto continues to resonate in political, academic, and activist circles. Its core themes - economic inequality, class consciousness, and revolutionary change - remain central to discussions about social justice and systemic reform. More than a historical document, the manifesto is a revolutionary blueprint and a powerful expression of collective resistance against oppression and exploitation.
Animal Farm
Animal Farm (1945) is a masterful allegorical novella by George Orwell that satirizes the events leading up to the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the rise of totalitarianism under Stalin. Set on a fictional English farm, the story begins when a group of mistreated animals, inspired by the vision of a wise old boar named Old Major, revolt against their human farmer in hopes of creating a society where all animals are equal, free, and happy. Led initially by the pigs Snowball and Napoleon, the animals rename the property "Animal Farm" and establish a new order based on the principle that "All animals are equal." However, as time passes, the pigs gradually assume power, manipulate the commandments of Animalism, and exploit the other animals for their own gain. Napoleon eventually emerges as a tyrannical leader, mirroring the very oppression the revolution sought to overthrow. The chilling transformation is immortalized in the famous line: "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." Orwell's concise and accessible prose belies the profound depth of his critique. Through vivid characters like Boxer the loyal workhorse, Squealer the manipulative propagandist, and the cynical donkey Benjamin, Orwell explores themes of power, corruption, propaganda, betrayal, and the cyclical nature of history. Both a political parable and a universal commentary on human nature, Animal Farm remains one of the most influential works in world literature. It is not only a searing condemnation of totalitarian regimes but also a timeless warning about the fragility of freedom and the ease with which ideals can be subverted by those in power.

Konfidenz
The political and the personal become blurred in a series of tense, tantalizing conversations about resistance. A pared-back yet gripping psychological novel from the acclaimed author of Death and the Maiden and Allegro. A woman travels to Paris to meet her lover. When she arrives at her hotel, however, she receives a call from a mysterious stranger claiming to be his friend, who somehow possesses intimate knowledge of their lives and why she fled her homeland. Over the course of nine hours, this man will draw her in, revealing details about her lover's work, which could put him in grave danger, and the growing conflict that has ensnared them all. A brilliant, mind-bending story told almost entirely through dialogue, Konfidenz upends what we think we know, painting an insightful portrait of manipulation and divided loyalties. Taking inspiration from his own experiences of political turmoil and exile after the 1973 coup that overthrew Chilean president Salvador Allende, Ariel Dorfman infuses this novel with a remarkable urgency and authenticity.
