None of You Shall Be Spared
It’s coming for all of us.
Shirley Jackson and World Fantasy Award-winning author Brian Evenson has become one of the defining voices of contemporary horror. His sparse, inventive and intimate style has left a permanent impression on the landscape of dark fiction. Praised by Peter Straub for placing himself “furthest out on the sheerest, least sheltered narrative precipice”, heralded by legends such as George Saunders and R. L. Stine, and beloved by readers of literary fiction and horror alike, there are few authors who bring so much to the table.
This brilliant collection contains twenty of his most spectacular short stories never put into a collection before and includes three brand new tales. In trademark Evenson fashion, one can feel a palpable connection to the yearnings, fears, and losses that his characters suffer. From the terror of being stalked by a man you thought you’d killed, to the desperate hope for the return of a loved one, each story is woven from deep imagination, sincere emotion, and the unblinking examination of everything dark that surrounds us.
These stories will enthrall you. They will leave a bit of themselves within you, and you will leave a bit of yourself within them. No one is safe from the web Evenson weaves, and none of you shall be spared.
Brian Evenson is the author of a dozen books of fiction, most recently the story collection The Glassy, Burning Floor of Hell (2021) and the Weird West microcollection Black Bark (2023). His collection Song for the Unraveling of the World (2019) won the Shirley Jackson Award and the World Fantasy Award and was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times’ Ray Bradbury Prize for Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Speculative Fiction. Previous books have won the American Library Association’s RUSA Award and the International Horror Guild Award, and have been finalists for the Edgar Award. He is the recipient of three O. Henry Prizes, an NEA fellowship, and a Guggenheim Award. His work has been translated into more than a dozen languages. He lives in Los Angeles and teaches at CalArts.

November 1942: An Intimate History of the Turning Point of the Second World War
‘An astonishing achievement’ ANTONY BEEVOR
‘Extraordinary’ JULIA BOYDAn intimate history of the most important month of the Second World War – perhaps the century – as experienced by those who lived through it, completely based on their diaries, letters and memoirs.
At the beginning of November 1942, it looked as if the Axis powers could win the war; at the end of that month, it was obviously just a matter of time before they would lose.
In between came el-Alamein, Guadalcanal, the French North Africa landings, the Japanese retreat in New Guinea, and the Soviet encirclement of the German 6th Army at Stalingrad. In this innovatively kaleidoscopic and riveting historical marvel, Peter Englund reduces these epoch-making events to their basic component: the individual experience.
In thirty memorable days we meet characters including a Soviet infantryman at Stalingrad; an Italian truck driver in the North African desert; a partisan in the Belarussian forests; a machine gunner in a British bomber; a twelve-year-old girl in Shanghai; a university student in Paris; a housewife on Long Island; a prisoner in Treblinka; Albert Camus, Vasily Grossman, and Vera Brittain – forty characters in all. We also witness the launch of SS James Oglethorpe; the fate of U-604, a German submarine; the building of the first nuclear reactor; and the making of Casablanca.
Not since Englund’s own The Beauty and the Sorrow has a book given us one of the most dramatic periods of human history in all its immensity and emotional range.

Punk 57
From New York Times Bestselling Author, Penelope Douglas, comes the latest New Adult romance…“We were perfect together. Until we met.”
Misha
I can’t help but smile at the lyrics in her letter. She misses me.
In fifth grade, my teacher set us up with pen pals from a different school. Thinking I was a girl, with a name like Misha, the other teacher paired me up with her student, Ryen. My teacher, believing Ryen was a boy like me, agreed.
It didn’t take long for us to figure out the mistake. And in no time at all, we were arguing about everything. The best take-out pizza. Android vs. iPhone. Whether or not Eminem is the greatest rapper ever…
And that was the start. For the next seven years, it was us. Her letters are always on black paper with silver writing. Sometimes there’s one a week or three in a day, but I need them. She’s the only one who keeps me on track, talks me down, and accepts everything I am.
We only had three rules. No social media, no phone numbers, no pictures. We had a good thing going. Why ruin it?
Until I run across a photo of a girl online. Name’s Ryen, loves Gallo’s pizza, and worships her iPhone.
What are the chances? F*ck it. I need to meet her. I just don’t expect to hate what I find.
Ryen
He hasn’t written in three months. Something’s wrong. Did he die? Get arrested? Knowing Misha, neither would be a stretch.

Push It: Straight to Gay First Time MM (Straight to Gay MM First Time Romance Stories)
When my buddy Dalton and I got bored one summer afternoon, we went sneaking through the bedrooms in his house. When we came upon a dirty toy in one of the bedroom closets, Dalton was shocked. He didn’t want to know those sorts of things about the people closest to him. I couldn’t blame him. The toy wasn’t just your typical eight-inch, pink and vibrating variety. This thing was a monster, made for two people to use at the same time, with two heads and everything!But I couldn’t help myself but to prank him. So, I took the foot-long toy back to his bedroom and shoved it under his mattress. Of course, Dalton caught on very quick. And when he confronted me, it turned into a game of wits and one-upmanship. When Dalton accused me of being “small” in my shorts, I knew I couldn’t let it stand, so we decided to have a little contest. The loser was going to have to use the toy on themselves while the other watched, and reveled in the humiliation.
But the stakes kept changing and soon enough, Dalton and I had gone farther than we ever expected. Next thing we knew, we were doing the wildest things with each other. I’m straight, and I know Dalton is, too. But for that afternoon, we were putting our straightness on pause, because we were getting down and dirty with not just the big, dirty toy we’d found, but with each other, too…
