It was the best of times, it was the cursed of times—in this Southern Witch novella from national bestselling author Kimberly Frost. Tammy Jo Trask is headed to Galveston, Texas for the Dickens on the Strand festival, but there’s no idyllic vacation in her future—not with two magically shrunken ladies trapped in her luggage. Jenna and Lucy were trying to kidnap Tammy Jo when she took them down a notch. The only trouble is she can’t reverse the spell and neither can her gorgeous wizard beau Bryn. Now Tammy’s hoping to get help from a Galveston ghost named Sally O’Shea. In exchange for her help, Sally sends Tammy Jo and Bryn on a strange and mysterious mission. Bryn is convinced it’s a wild goose chase, but Sally has a few dark secrets up her spectral sleeves, and their fool’s errand quickly turns epic. Praise for the Southern Witch novels “A big, heaping helping of Southern-fried magical fun!”—New York Times bestselling author Alyssa Day “An utter delight. Wickedly entertaining with a surprise on every page.”— New York Times bestselling author Annette Blair Kimberly Frost is currently at home in a small town known as Houston where she is taking dictation from her characters and working on the next book in the Southern Witch series.
Afflicted with dysfunctional magical powers, Tammy Jo Trask enlists the aid of Bryn Lyons, one of the wealthiest, most charming, and magically gifted people in small-town Duval, Texas, when her locket containing the soul of a family ghost is stolen.

Peering into the often unnoticed corners of life, Kevin Brockmeier has been consistently praised for the originality of his vision, the boundlessness of his imagination and the command of his craft. Once again, in this new collection of fiction, Brockmeier shows us a fantastical world that is intimately familiar but somehow distant and beautiful. From the touching title story, where a young, antisocial woman imagines her escape into the sky with an apparition only she can see, to the haunting story of a pastor tempted by something less than divine, Brockmeier moves effortlessly from the extraordinary to the everyday, while challenging us to see the world anew. Stunning, elegant, profound, and playful, The View from the Seventh Layer cements Kevin Brockmeier's place as one of the most creative and compassionate writers of his generation.
Three murders, each two days apart, all in the lower districts of the city of Rensein. The victims show no sign of injury or trauma, only a pair of inky black finger marks on each of their necks. The clerics at the Temple of Rhydion refuse to get involved. The mages employed by the city guard are too afraid to get close to the bodies. Captain Denning Pole is completely stumped and desperate for help. Wizard detective Ehren Rivikin’s search for information on the mysterious Cult of the Three-faced God leads him to Rensein, where he learns about the case and its promised reward. With the help and resources of Captain Pole, his investigation takes him from the city’s underbelly to its glittering merchant district. But can they catch the killer before he strikes again, or are they only chasing shadows?
Phallos is a 2004 novel by the acclaimed novelist and critic Samuel R. Delany. Taking the form of a gay pornographic novella, with the explicit sex omitted, Phallos is set during the reign of the second-century Roman emperor Hadrian, and circles around the historical account of the murder of the emperor's favorite, Antinous. The story moves from Syracuse to Egypt, from the Pillars of Hercules to Rome, from Athens to Byzantium, and back. Young Neoptolomus searches after the stolen phallus of the nameless god of Hermopolis, crafted of gold and encrusted with jewels, within which are reputedly the ancient secrets of science and society that will lead to power, knowledge, and wealth. Vivid and clever, the original novella has been expanded by nearly a third. Appended to the text are an afterword by Robert F. Reid-Pharr and three astute speculative essays by Steven Shaviro, Kenneth R. James, and Darieck Scott.
