Short Fiction

- Danila Botha’s Got No Secrets.

From the publisher’s website: “A startling and original new voice that owes as much to Black Flag and Bikini Kill as it does to J.D. Salinger and Heather O’Neill. Botha’s prose is compassionate, provocative, often funny, and always fearless.”

- Samuel Thomas Martin’s This Ramshackle Tabernacle.

“Sam Martin is an exceptional writer. In all ways this is a highly original work.” 
-David Adams Richards, award-winning author of Mercy Among the Children and The Lost Highway.

“Sam Martin puts God in a full-nelson, brings the miraculous down to earth, and makes you feel the sacred in the shadow of a telephone pole. You will laugh and be lacerated. You will need stitches. A profound, funny, and exquisitely crafted book.”  
- Jessica Grant, award-winning author of Come, Thou Tortoise and Making Light of Tragedy.
