Furnace (Paperback)

By Livia Llewellyn

$14.99

If Llewellyn’s collection of short stories was a dating profile it might read: 

Goth seeks kinky Aquarius who’s probably weirder than you. Into horror, Lovecraft and long, sullen silences while staring deeply into your soul. A keen sense for short stories and the unexpected is a plus. 

This you? If so, I’d definitely recommend checking out this collection weird and horrifying shorts.    

The Refrigerator Monologues (Hardcover)

By Catherynne M. Valente, Annie Wu (Illustrator)

$19.99

Valente does a fantastic job creating colorful, delicious voices for scorned women sacrificed in order to further the storylines of popular superheroes. Feels like Chicago's "Cell Block Tango," and you can almost hear the noir-ish saxophone behind each story. 

Six Wakes (Paperback)

By Mur Lafferty

$15.99

 

Six people wake up in a spaceship to see their own gruesomely murdered bodies floating in the air around them. Since everyone else is either asleep or a million light years away, they only have each other to suspect. This is a fun, thought-provoking page-turner that keeps heaping on the suspense.

Visual Intelligence: Sharpen Your Perception, Change Your Life (Paperback)

By Amy E. Herman

$15.99

While some might decry Herman’s book as just another bougie art criticism or preachy self-help book, it really is neither.

Visual Intelligence isn’t asking you solve a specific problem in your life...Herman just offers exercises to get you to examine and expand the way you view the world, all in turn making you a more perceptive, better listening and more empathetic individual. 

I highly recommend this book.
