Big Baby
From comedian and TikTok star Kevin James Thornton comes a hilarious and heartfelt story of growing up in a Christian fundamentalist church, turning trauma into comedy, and finding your own way.Growing up in the 90s in a small town in Indiana, Kevin James Thornton had little notion he would one day make a career as a comedian. Like most kids in his deeply Christian town, his free time revolved around his church community—drinking Messiah Macchiatos at the youth group cafe, bedazzling his jacket with the words “Jesus Is Lord,” and evangelizing in the streets of Spanish Harlem dressed as a sin-themed clown. But when he started to question his sexuality, life became complicated. Kevin began to realize that the community that raised him might never truly accept him.What follows is a winding story of self-discovery, following Thornton from a revelatory summer in New York City to the transformative years of college—where he finds like-minded people, a knack for performance, and first loves—all the way to adulthood, where he navigates complicated relationships, finds his way into the comedy scene, and forms a special bond with a black cat named Comet (who might just have the power to travel between dimensions). Through it all, he redefines himself again and again, realizing that few things go as planned, and that “driving off into the sunset” is never really the end of the story.Told in his unique brand of brash but emotionally honest humor, and filled with 90s nostalgia, Big Baby is a coming-of-age tale that speaks to anyone who feels like they don’t fit in.

Deep House
A New Yorker, Time Out, NPR, Electric Lit and Publishers Weekly Book of the Year, and Lambda Literary Award Finalist ‘A fabulously riveting hybrid memoir and queer history lesson’ –The New York TimesIt’s 1996, and Jeremy, a young American, has met the British boy of his dreams ? just as, amid a media frenzy, US Congress prepares the Defense of Marriage Act, denying same-sex couples rights including immigration. The pair snatch time in forests and deserts, London fashion shows, and East Village hotel rooms; eventually, finding no other way to stay together, they shack up illicitly among unlikely allies in San Francisco.What emerges is an unexpected romantic comedy haunted by centuries of gay ghosts. Deep House moves through the couple’s various domiciles while unlocking doors to a lineage of outsiders who came before them: hapless criminals, sexpot bartenders, friars, pirates, government workers who subvert the system and activists who go all the way to the Supreme Court to fight for their freedoms.Combining cultural history with radically intimate memoir, Deep House is at once a romp through the queer archives and the innermost tale of two boyfriends who made a home in the shadows of a turbulent civil rights battle.
Frontiers of the Roman Empire: The Frontier of the Roman Province of Raetia
Frontiers of the Roman Empire: The Frontier of the Roman Province of Raetia explores the unique role of Raetia as both a defensive frontier protecting the Italian mainland and a geopolitical crossroads between the eastern and western Roman Empire. Drawing on the latest archaeological and historical research, the volume examines the evolution of the Raetian frontier, troop deployment, local populations, frontier organisation, and the changing fortunes of the province from the early Empire through Late Antiquity. Richly illustrated and accessible, the book offers readers an engaging introduction to the history and significance of one of Rome’s most important frontier regions.The book also highlights the international importance of the Raetian frontier within the UNESCO World Heritage initiative Frontiers of the Roman Empire. Sections of the former frontier are now recognised as part of the Upper German-Raetian Limes and the Danube Limes (Western Segment), reflecting their outstanding universal value. Featuring guidance to museums and visitor sites along the frontier, this volume supports ongoing efforts to preserve and promote the shared cultural heritage of the Roman world for future generations.
The Sacred Ache
Across culture, there is a growing openness to the spiritual, the transcendent, and the mysterious. From astrology and manifestation to ritual and embodied practices of Tarot, Wicca and Meditation, our generation is searching for something more, something... sacred. In The Sacred Ache, Christian academic Belle Tindall-Riley argues that this hunger is not a trend, it is the truest thing about us. With clarity and courage, Belle examines the spiritual practices shaping our landscape, asking what deep soul-longings drive them and where they ultimately fall short. She explores why our desire for transcendence is both beautiful and easily distorted - and why it points beyond itself. Turning to Christianity, she uncovers its most mystical and embodied dimensions, revealing a faith far richer and wilder than many imagine. Honest and vulnerable, Belle shares why she believes Jesus does not silence our spiritual ache - He fulfils it. A thoughtful and compelling book for anyone exploring spirituality, deconstructing faith, or wondering whether Christianity can still speak to our deepest longings.
