Poetry – John Sweet

and everybody knows

a fist clenched becomes your life,
and you learn to hate who you were

learn to hate who you are

your father’s biggest
disappointment, right?

your mother’s favorite junkie

one more goddamn ghost in a
half-empty house
just looking for a trigger to pull

John Sweet sends greetings from the rural wastelands of upstate NY. He is a firm believer in writing as catharsis, and in compassionate nihilism which, as luck would have it, has all the best bands. His published collections include NO ONE STARVES IN A NATION OF CORPSES (2020 Analog Submission Press) and THERE’S ONLY ONE WAY THIS IS GOING TO END (Cyberwit, 2023).

Our Saturday TBR

So we often have friends releasing new books. And we love to recommend them. Starting today, Every Saturday I am going to start recommending five new/newish releases that are on our TBR for you to read.

  1. okay, I know I said that I was going to recommend new or newish releases…but I really need to talk about this one. Memory bound by A.R. Clayton We published a children’s book not too long ago. The writing style is amazing and makes me want everything that the author has written.
  2. LD Wosar just released Peacock’s Lament. It really does look so good.
  3. Want an occult noir read? Idaho black by Warren G. Larch looks to fit the bill.
  4. Need more adventures in your tbr? Wrong Way to Heaven by Kevin Pettway seems to offer misplaced adventures. that sounds fun to me.
  5. Lately, there’s been terms that I have been seeing in the reading and writing world that might be confusing to the ones that don’t read that genre. this includes Why chose. why chose is in the same vein as romance – with a polyamory twist. Here’s a good one – Beauty’s Beasts by Alex Hansonhttps://a.co/d/fTyYG2E

Check back next week for more TBR recommendations.

Our Saturday TBR

So we often have friends releasing new books. And we love to recommend them. Starting today, Every Saturday I am going to start recommending five new/newish releases that are on our TBR for you to read.

  1. The first one this week is a spicy Christmas book by Skye Turner. Crazy for Christmas has everything you would expect from a Holiday story and then some. It definitely makes our TBR.
  2. As a fan of TTRPG’s I am curious about One More Turn By D.H. Dunn. This looks like a fun read,
  3. This one has not released yet, but I am eagerly awaiting it…Wings of Ink by Angelina J. Steffort Looks Fantastic! February can’t come quick enough!
  4. Who can’t use a new vampire love in their life? Peacock’s Lament by L.D. Wosar looks like it might just do the trick.
  5. The last one this time is a graphic novel that looks fairly interesting. Enenra by Aaron Wroblewski seems to have that whole horror vibe going on that catches the mind.

Upcoming books

We have a busy schedule for 2024 for book releases…

We want to announce all of them but they each deserve their own spot.

So, since Andrew McDowell has started to mention it… August is going to see his second book with us. We are going to be coordinating with him to do the cover reveal in March/April. We will be ready with a preorder link then.

We also have several more from other authors planned.

This blog is going to be a busy place to show you all of our upcoming books and discuss the details as we have them.
