O. Henry Prize-winning author Rebecca Hirsch Garcia’s dark, speculative debut!

"Hirsch Garcia's prose is unflinching . . . The reader is left with a tragic yet profound sense of loss and its effects, and how much work it takes to heal." — Booklist

The First Thousand Trees is the final book in Premee Mohamed's stunning novella trilogy—bleaker than ever but still in search of a spark of hope in the climate apocalypse. Library Journal said readers “will want to dive deep into this compelling and chilling series.” 🐦‍⬛🦠

A copy of the book The First Thousand Trees by Premee Mohamed lays on top of blue fabric patterned with birds sitting on branches. A graphic with a picture of the cover of The First Thousand Trees, along with a silver "Booksellers' List selection" seal and logo. A quote says "This novella is emotionally bold, telling the story of Henryk and his journey to find himself in the wild, and coming to terms with even the darkest of places along the way. I’m excited for readers to discover Premee’s ambitious writing, and then be hungry to read her backlist as well!" The quote is by Brandi Morpurgo from Daisy Chain Book Co in Edmonton, Alberta.

The Witch of Willow Sound is a feminist gothic tale with a tough-as-nails female protagonist who must find her elderly aunt, long suspected of being a witch. Foreword Reviews gave it a starred review and called it “A spellbinding debut novel.” ⭐️🐇

A copy of the book The Witch of Willow Sound by Vanessa F. Penney lays on top of cream-coloured fabric with delicate pink floral patterns. A graphic with a picture of the cover of The Witch of Willow Sound, along with a silver "Booksellers' List selection" seal and logo. A quote says "A dark and tender novel about family and history, this book starts with a bang and never slows down. The Witch of Willow Sound does a great job accurately depicting the folklore, dialect, and superstitions of Nova Scotians, but never looks away from the darker aspects of our province's history. This gothic novel subtly peels back layers of secrets both public and private." The quote is by Madelaine Higgins from Good Dog Books in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia.
