A young Egyptian woman recounts her personal and political coming of age in this brilliant debut novel. Cairo, 1984. A blisteringly hot summer. A young girl in a sprawling family house. Her days pass quietly: listening to a mother's phone conversations, looking at the Nile from a bedroom window, watching the three state-sanctioned TV stations with the volume off, daydreaming about other lives. Underlying this claustrophobic routine is mystery and loss. Relatives mutter darkly about the newly-appointed President Mubarak. Everyone talks with melancholy about the past. People disappear overnight. Her own father has left, too-why, or to where, no one will say. We meet her across three decades, from youth to adulthood: As a six-year old absorbing the world around her, filled with questions she can't ask; as a college student and aspiring filmmaker pre-occupied with love, language, and the repression that surrounds her; and then later, in the turbulent aftermath of Mubarak's overthrow, as a writer exploring her own past. Reunited with her father, she wonders about the silences that have marked and shaped her life. At once a mapping of a city in transformation and a story about the shifting realities and fates of a single Egyptian family, Yasmine El Rashidi's Chronicle of a Last Summer traces the fine line between survival and complicity, exploring the conscience of a generation raised in silence.

"Brilliant." -The New York TimesMapping the Interior is a horrifying, inward-looking novella from Stephen Graham Jones that Paul Tremblay calls "emotionally raw, disturbing, creepy, and brilliant."Blackfeet author Stephen Graham Jones brings readers a spine-tingling Native American horror novella.Walking through his own house at night, a fifteen-year-old thinks he sees another person stepping through a doorway. Instead of the people who could be there, his mother or his brother, the figure reminds him of his long-gone father, who died mysteriously before his family left the reservation. When he follows it he discovers his house is bigger and deeper than he knew. The house is the kind of wrong place where you can lose yourself and find things you'd rather not have. Over the course of a few nights, the boy tries to map out his house in an effort that puts his little brother in the worst danger, and puts him in the position to save them . . . at terrible cost.
An inspiring and heartwarming collection of true love stories from the creators behind the viral Instagram and TikTok account @meetcutesnyc In 2023, three friends—Jeremy Bernstein, Aaron Feinberg, and Victor Lee—took to the streets of New York City to ask couples how they met and what the secret sauce is to staying together. Today, they have more than 4 million followers on Instagram and TikTok, and more than 300 million views, on TikTok, captivating audiences around the world. For the first time in print, Meet Cutes NYC is a collection of 85 stories—a mix of new and fan favorites—alongside beautiful portraits of the couples, photographed exclusively for the book. Each interview opens the same way, “Excuse me, are you two a couple?” Followed by, “Can you tell us the story of how you met?” But the stories are each unique—like Chris and Clay, who met while auditioning for West Side Story (they both got it). And Joe and Liza met in a hardware store—while Liza was with her boyfriend at the time. There are stories of couples who met on public transportation, at a party, through friends, at work, at church—you truly never know where you might find love. There are also stories of second chances—like Mike and Karen—who met in college, broke up, and then bumped into each other again two years later, walking toward each other Third Avenue; they fell into a kiss and have been married for 37 years. Beyond how they met, couples share their partner’s favorite traits, what they love to do together, and how they make their relationships work. Meet Cutes NYC is a celebration of modern-day love connections—across all ages, genders, and backgrounds. From couples who just met to those who have been together for decades. The book is a refreshing dose of real love stories, from real people. It will appeal to anyone in love or looking for love, to glean advice and inspiration from.

A Finalist for the 2017 Nebula Award for Best NovellaSarah Gailey's wildfire debut River of Teeth is a rollicking alternate history adventure that Charlie Jane Anders calls "preposterously fun."In the early 20th Century, the United States government concocted a plan to import hippopotamuses into the marshlands of Louisiana to be bred and slaughtered as an alternative meat source. This is true.Other true things about hippos: they are savage, they are fast, and their jaws can snap a man in two.This was a terrible plan.Contained within this volume is an 1890s America that might have been: a bayou overrun by feral hippos and mercenary hippo wranglers from around the globe. It is the story of Winslow Houndstooth and his crew. It is the story of their fortunes. It is the story of his revenge.
