What happens when a woman takes control of her own gaze?

Camgirl is Isa Mazzei’s brilliantly self-aware chronicle of life at the intersection of art, eroticism, and identity. Wickedly funny and impossible to put down.

A modern love story set in New York, Cooler Heads by Julian Tepper is a piercing exploration of intimacy, ambition, and identity in a (often cursed) city that tempts us to believe we can have it all.

From basement riots to banned stages, Leftöver Crack rewrote the rules and paid the price. This is a punk oral history that’s drenched in blood and brilliance.

The band goes on out this November. The chaos continues.

It’s that time again when the veil thins, and art like this feels almost alive. This Halloween, revisit 7:42 P.M. The Art of Chris Mars—a stunning collection of eerie, otherworldly paintings exploring the light within darkness.

Last night at #ChevaliersBooks, Tom Lutz had everyone hooked with his stories behind "1925" and "Chagos Archipelago." Great conversation with Albert Litewka! 🙌🏽

From backstage chaos to quiet hotel rooms, Malia James—bassist for Dum Dum Girls and Marnie Stern—turns the lens on her own story. Girl in a Girl Band is an intimate collage of photographs and handwritten reflections.

You'll engage with his extensive book about the Roaring Twenties, "1925: A Literary Encyclopedia," and his international thriller, "Chagos Archipelago" (which follows up on the awesome "Born Slippy").

What happens when the search for identity collides with mystery, myth, and the uncanny?

John C. Hampsey’s Soda Lake opens with a haunting image—a man vanishing into a lake of white salt—hits bookshelves October 21st!

Jennifer Sklias-Gahan’s The House in the Middle of the Street is a spellbinding debut of inheritance, haunting, and the creatures we dare let in. Think Brothers Grimm by way of a fever dream, steeped in shadow and bound by blood.

🔥 COVER REVEAL🔥

What happens when gods outlive their worshippers?

In Andrew Rubin’s Hell or High Winter, Hermes, Messenger of the Gods, walks the streets of the 21st century—witty, restless, and desperate for relevance in an age where no one is listening.

Later Days hits bookshelves this Tuesday!

A gripping tale of brotherhood, recklessness, and footloose souls in late-seventies Southern California, Chip Jacobs’ evocative follow-up to Arroyo captures the ties that bind & break us.
