  • av Paul Rawlins
    350,-

    The people in Rawlins's debut collection brave the Big Questions about relationships, love, and death, finding that just getting by is not enough. Asking for truth or understanding, they struggle with feelings often too deep, too new, too disquieting to articulate.

    av Randy F. Nelson

  • av Andy Plattner
    350,-

    The ten stories in Winter Money are set in rural Kentucky and West Virginia, in dim horse racing and river towns.

  • av Alfred DePew
    350,-

    Filled with sharp dialogue, engaging characters, and offbeat detail, the twelve stories collected in The Melancholy of Departure describe an outsider's world of longing, disillusion, and survival, where hope is found in unexpected places and understanding comes from unlikely sources.

  • av Peter Selgin
    420,-

    In all thirteen tales, Selgin exhibits a keen eye for the forces that push people toward-and sometimes beyond-their very human limits, forces as intrinsic, elemental, and elusive as the liquid that makes up two-thirds of their bodies. These stories remind us that of all bodies of water, none is deeper or more dangerous than our own.
