An estranged couple unearth a mysterious artifact in their backyard, setting in motion a series of bewildering events. A lonely software developer takes a position at a shadowy corporation, only to find himself the subject of a new and sinister brand of team training. A window washer mourning the death of a child finds himself confronted with the indelible stains of his own failures. In eighteen uncanny stories, Keith Rondinelli's subtle and disquieting debut collection charts a dreamlike netherworld of shifting identities, tech-age anxiety, and the alienating effects of consumerism. A General Theory of Tears paints a surreal portrait of an America on the brink. Suggestive of David Lynch, George Saunders, and Steven Millhauser, Rondinelli's nostalgic, speculative visions announce a significant storytelling talent.

Challenging and opening our perceptions of the city, this collection of poems, essayistic prose fragments, and images rounds out Darryl Lorenzo Wellington's tenure as Santa Fe Poet Laureate 2021-2023."I see mirages-my books, that is, generally speaking begin with collections of riddles, tiny insidious lights, mysterious UFOs and mirages that beckon me. After I became the Santa Fe Poet Laureate 2021-2023, I crisscrossed the city bringing my lessons to public and private schools and schoolchildren. Then I retraced my routes bringing the poems they had written back home. I visited sections of the city I had never visited before, and along the way-whether to success, failure, or poetry and play-painted walls beckoned me..." - Darryl Lorenzo Wellington

Jarrod Campbell's bold debut collection of short fiction traverses and examines the spaces and purposes assumed by the gay male, not least his own. The Reason I'm Here departs from standard expectations of queer behavior to subvert these limited perceptions in favor of honest explorations of desire, amnesia, voyeurism, betrayal, physicality, grief, faith, and uncertainty. Gritty, dreamlike, and reminiscent of Hitchcock and Cortázar, these poignant stories walk on the wild side of human nature.

Collected for the first time, Malcolm Mc Neill''s visionary 1970s graphic novel ''Tetra'' - An auteur''s science fiction with a new introduction and chronicle of methods, trials, and censorship. Featuring never-before-seen concept art, recollections of William S. Burroughs, Isaac Asimov, ''girlie'' magazines, Stanley Kubrick, glue, Star Trek, aliens, and nakedness..."Tetra was a late 70s proto-cyberpunk transreal skin-mag SF epic serialized graphic novel starring a naked woman with no hair and a penchant for running-dialog wisecracks. The art is lovely, and language play of the alien characters is worth the price of admission alone." - Rudy Rucker"Star Wars, Stranger in a Strange Land, Dune were all about the messianic ''Chosen One'' - the individual come to save the world. I just wanted a heroine who said f*ck all that." - Malcolm Mc Neill

City Moon is David Ohle’s novelization of all 18 issues of his cult 1970s newspaper, heavily edited and re-processed. It is offered for the first time as a single volume. The neutrodynes, the satire, the mystery cults, as well as Ohle’s dada-seance of Americana, are as vivid and intoxicating and seriously funny as ever.In Ohle’s world, people (not to mention the many related species, including trochilics neutrodynes and necronauts, as well as cross-species creatures such as the ape of golf) are all part of a continuum of life in which human and animal life forms scarcely differ from each other. —Roger Martin

Between the thorns of the Brothers Grimm and the labyrinthine chambers of Angela Carter, Emily Corwin's new collection of poems is red of tooth, claw, and lipstick. Within this vivid cycle of fabulism and erotica, of witches and absent princes, metamorphosis and dreamscapes, her work is a grimoire, a map for the territories of the unconscious.

2034: Evangelical secret agents, fast food moguls, the voice of God in computer software, violence in the Bermuda Triangle! George W. Bush's foreign policy vindicated by a quick victory in Iraq, lucrative invasions of Egypt and Syria followed, bringing unparalleled prosperity to America and setting off thirty years of right-wing rule. But when a war in Iran goes badand the resulting cover-up goes worsethe democrats reclaim the presidency. This is the time of Pax Americana and its zealous anti-hero, government agent Tuck Squires.Reading the ironic silences between the lines of the thriller, and roaring like a jet engine, Pax Americana is a sacrilegious, conspiratorial monster; like a literary dogfight between Martin Amis and Robert Anton Wilson, loaded with prophecy, Baumeister's debut is an exorcism and an antidote for our era.';Like an episode of Archer written by Kurt Vonnegut, Baumeister takes us into a hilarious and high-velocity world of espionage and global politics in this send-up of god, country, and the possibility of doing good in a world gone bad. It's fast-paced fun, watch out for paper cuts as the pages fly by.' Shya Scanlon';If there is to be an American peace, it's certainly not going to come on the pages of this lit match of a novel. Kurt Baumeister has fashioned exactly the old school pre- and post-Bond techno x-travaganza everyone bored with explorations of the louvre has been waiting for. Pax Americana is both dark satire and deeply satisfying, an adrenaline rush that runs through suspect politics, spirituality software, and the sacredly profane. It's a blast. Buy it now.' Sean Beaudoin

Barlow's metaphysical noir The City, Awake is a novel of chemically induced amnesia, doppelgngers, fanatics, and killers. Saul, a man without a history, awakes in a hotel room with a note in his pocket. Hunting for answers, he must survive rival assassins, a millionaire with an axe to grind, a shape-shifting femme fatal, a silent hit man, and a psychotic who is only looking for an exit. Barlow evokes a vast mid-century modernist cityscape in prose that is by turns hard-boiled, then unexpectedly psychedelic and delicate. With temporal and spatial distortions reminiscent of A. E. van Vogt's The World of Null-A, the novel that inspired Godard's Alphaville, this is a vivid investigation of identity, scientific speculation, and Biblical Apocrypha. The City, Awake is a mirror maze of dark streets and darker secrets.

Jennifer Maritza McCauley's 'Scar On/Scar Off' is by turns neon-lit and beating, defiant and clashing, searching and struggling, in fistfuls of recognition, in constant pursuit of intersections and dualities.
