Craft
Strange, intimate, haunted, and hungry--Craft: Stories I Wrote for the Devil is an intoxicating and surreal fiction debut by award-winning author Ananda Lima. "Remarkable and memorable." --OLIVIE BLAKE - "An astounding new voice." --ERIC LaROCCA - "I love it so much." --KELLY LINK - "Trippy, eerie, wry, and always profound." --JOHN KEENE - "Incredible. Truly wondrous." --KEVIN WILSON - "Heart-wrenching and wickedly funny." --GWEN KIRBY - "Propulsive, uncanny, and expertly built." --JULIA FINE At a Halloween party in 1999, a writer slept with the devil. She sees him again and again throughout her life and she writes stories for him about things that are both impossible and true. Lima lures readers into surreal pockets of the United States and Brazil where they'll find bite-size Americans in vending machines and the ghosts of people who are not dead. Once there, she speaks to modern Brazilian-American immigrant experiences-of ambition, fear, longing, and belonging--and reveals the porousness of storytelling and of the places we call home. With humor, an exquisite imagination, and a voice praised as "singular and wise and fresh" (Cathy Park Hong), Lima joins the literary lineage of Bulgakov and Lispector and the company of writers today like Ted Chiang, Carmen Maria Machado, and Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah. Craft: Stories I Wrote for the Devil includes: "Rapture," "Ghost Story," "Tropic獺lia," "Antrop籀gaga," "Idle Hands," "Rent," "Porcelain," "Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory," and "Hasselblad." A great next read for fans of Carmen Maria Machado's Her Body and Other Parties and V. E. Schwab's The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue. Recommended reading by Chicago Review of Books, Electric Literature, The Kenyon Review, and more!
Life Shadows
There seems to be a no man's land between life and death, where lost souls wander and wonder why they are there, knowing that they have to cross a line but ignorant of where it is, or that it is theirs to cross.Some of those are happy where they are, and stay solitary in the same place guarding it against any interference with all their might. They are usually the least likely to come across.Others make alliances and form gangs; they are the most frightening of all. And there are those who are angry and confused, using different life forms to vent their fury, and take revenge on whoever gets in the way. They are the most dangerous.Most souls, however, are just puzzled and only need a little pointer. They are the unfortunate searchers of the line.The six short stories in this book deal with these hapless creatures as they interact with the living, each in their own, sometimes nasty, way.

Live Loud & Suffer in Silence
Take your torch and brace yourself, it might get dark when you dive deep! These texts are not about the sunny side of life. Rather, they deal with the scenes that are staged in the shadows, that don't fit into tiny polished squares to be presented on the virtual pin board of one's life. These are the stories that rarely are the first ones you tell someone on a second date, the ones that you try to hide, the ones that rarely see the sunlight, the ones that aren't easy to narrate, the ones that yet and still are part of life. This book aims at shifting the untold stories from the shadows into the light. Because they are worth it. Because they need to be accepted as part of life. Because they deserve to be told. "This author is no doubt an astute observer of human experiences, exploring deeply the turmoil that lingers on in the confines of the heart, desperate to come out, often surrendering to silence." - Reader Views Note: a certain percentage of your purchase will be donated to local mental health institutions.
