ECW Press Motherness: A Memoir of Generational Autism, Parenthood, and Radical Acceptance
Tootekood: A51033481 GTIN: 9781770418028 Raamatud
Spanning 13 years — beginning with pregnancy and ending with diagnosis — Motherness offers a deeply personal account of an autistic mother raising an autistic child. It covers sensory processing, meltdowns, masking, empathy, bullying, special interests, and more. Tender and incisive, it’s essential for adults and parents navigating their own autism diagnoses.A funny, unflinchingly honest, and deeply compassionate memoir about one woman’s experience of raising an autistic child while discovering she is also “on the spectrum” Almost 10 years after learning that her son is autistic, Julie Green was also diagnosed, shedding light on a lifetime of feeling othered and misunderstood. Motherness traces Julie’s journey from childhood to early motherhood, when she must advocate for her son while navigating her own struggles. With more girls and women being diagnosed in the last decade — many of them later in life — the face of autism is changing. Motherness provides a rich, intensely personal account of what it is like to be autistic, through the lens of both a mother and child. Topics include sensory processing, meltdowns and shutdowns, masking, empathy, alexithymia, bullying, elopement, special interests, disordered eating, gender diversity, twice exceptionality, and more. Motherness is a story about accepting your child while learning to accept yourself. This extraordinary, groundbreaking memoir speaks to the great challenges and great joys of autism, providing valuable insights to parents of autistic children, adults newly diagnosed or questioning their place on the spectrum, and anyone seeking a greater understanding of neurodiversity.

DRAWN & QUARTERLY The Moomins and the Great Flood
Tootekood: A31438227 GTIN: 9781770463288 Raamatud
Join the Moomins in their very first adventure, crossing a huge flood to search for missing Moominpappa!Moominmamma and Moomintroll need to find a home for the winter, someplace where sun is plentiful and safe from the dangers of the unknown. But before they can settle down, they must cross a dark and sinister forest and find their way through a flood of epic proportions, all the while hoping that they will find Moominpappa again. Their journey seems daunting but they forge ahead, with Moominmamma’s kindness and patience giving Moomin the courage he needs to face the strange, unexplored path that lies ahead of them.Written during the 1939-40 Finnish-Soviet Union conflict, or The Winter War, Jansson uses the unusual setting of a natural catastrophe to provide the background of her first children’s book and the first appearance of her beloved Moomin characters. She wrote this as her escape from the horrors of war and its many consequences, but rather than avoiding the problems that war raises, she uses these as a basis for the many obstacles that the characters face, from separated families to forced displacement. With beautiful black and white artwork interspersed throughout the text and curious, playful prose, you find yourself rooting for the Moomins and their quest to find Moominpappa and a place to call home.

Her fragile peace shatters when a rift tears open the world. In stumbles another version of herself: K, bloody and bruised, hunting the rogue wind spirit Suriel to reclaim her soul.

Katja has everything K lost — a home, family, and the affection of Tiernan, the fire mage they both loved. Friends take sides. Enemies take notice. Danger creeps closer — people Katja thought she escaped, people K killed in her world, people with grudges old and new.

GTIN: 9781770418615 Raamatud
With his sniffer dog, Pippin, Dr. Peter Bannerman uncovers suspects, treats animals, tracks a kitten kidnapper, and must solve a locked-room mystery.In the fourth book in the series, Dr. Peter Bannerman’s brother Sam takes in three Bengal kittens after the previous owner, his neighbor in a Winnipeg north end apartment building, is found dead. The death was originally thought to be due to accidental autoerotic asphyxiation, but after investigation, Sam is arrested and charged with his neighbor’s murder. Sam suffers from several mental health conditions, but Peter refuses to believe that he is capable of killing someone, so he sets out to prove his innocence. Sam, however, is more concerned about one of the kittens who has gone missing. With the help of his talented sniffer dog, Pippin, Peter tries to find the kitten, as well as evidence that someone else murdered the neighbor. Peter talks to the other people in Sam’s building, and several appear to be plausible alternative killers. However, by that time Sam, still in custody, begins to rave about ghosts being the real murderers and insists Peter investigate that. Despite not believing in ghosts (not in the slightest), he has a terrifying experience while spending the night in Sam’s apartment. The situation rapidly spirals, putting Peter and Pippin in peril and ultimately revealing a story of revenge served cold from decades ago and continents away. Autorid: Philipp Schott

ECW Press,Canada Lavender Spike No Edition
GTIN: 9781770418417 Raamatud
What if art didn’t just move you. What if it controlled you? “A truly unique dystopia.” — Jason Pargin, bestselling author of John Dies at the End and I’m Starting to Worry About This Black Box of Doom “Mind-bending hard to look away from.” — Publishers Weekly “A speculative story of art as the basis of a future police state.” — Kirkus Reviews In a shattered future where art is outlawed for some and weaponized by others, one underground painter is forced to choose: stay true to her craft, or survive. Isobel “Izzy” Ker is one of the last Purist artists left. She survives in the slums outside Mahl City, secretly selling illegal paintings in a world ruled by the New Art Government. They keep their citizens in line through Trigger Art, a powerful, addictive form of creation that overwhelms the senses and rewires the mind. When her studio is raided, Izzy has nowhere to run. She is forced to find safety with the Half-Light Rebels, a group of anti-art radicals and glorified thieves who are determined to tear the system down. But rebellion comes at a cost, and her first mission with the rebels fails. Izzy is captured. The New Art Government gives her a choice: rot in the city’s infamous prison, or convert and become a Trigger Artist. Izzy accepts and is thrust into the spotlight as a rising Trigger Artist, intoxicated by the luxury, the power, and the dangerous pull of creation at its most extreme not to mention her enigmatic bodyguard, Rilke. The wild, engrossing act of creating her first public piece almost makes her forget what life was like in the Dumps. Almost. While the system remakes her into its most powerful weapon, Izzy plays a deeper game. She works in secret with the rebels and prepares to unveil her audacious debut piece. Because the most dangerous creation is defiance. Written by a rising star in science fiction, Lavender Spike is a bold, wholly original cyberpunk novel in which art is both drug and religion.

Collective Ink Demonology as Devourment Without a Devourer: The Movies of Keanu Reeves and Other Ways to Study Demons
GTIN: 9781917704038 Raamatud
The demons we have left behind in old myths might be back in new technologies.What if demons aren’t mythological beings but structural presences coded into our technologies, our stories, and ourselves? Demonology as Devourment Without a Devourer is neither a grimoire of evil spirits, nor a catalog of arcane names - it is a philosophical descent into the abyss that is the devouring logic of the demonic. In these pages, demonology becomes more than the mere study of demons; it becomes a theory of hunger, destruction, possession, and transformation. Through close readings of movies such as The Matrix, Constantine, and John Wick, as well as the Black Mirror series and other contemporary cultural texts, this book redefines demonology as the study of devourment: how systems consume their users, how messages erase their media, how reality is overwritten by simulation. Drawing from philosophy, theology, occult studies, and contemporary culture, this book reimagines the demonic not as an external evil but as a force that gnaws at human limits. The demon is no longer a mere symbol - it is a method, a rupture, a technology that unmakes and remakes the subject. The demon emerges not from hell but from feedback loops, virtual doubles, and machines that rewrite human desire. These are not beings of fire and brimstone - they are the operators of rules, the agents of erasure, the avatars of entropy. Philosophical, unsettling, and timely, Demonology as Devourment offers not an exorcism but a diagnosis. The demons have returned - wearing new skins. Autorid: Oren Ben Yosef
