Jackson Alone
A short, blistering gut punch of a novel, Jackson Alone is at turns satirical and deadpan, angry and tender - a frank exploration of identity, race, and queerness in contemporary Japan.
Nobody at the corporate offices of Athletius Japan knows much about the massage therapist, Jackson, but rumours abound. He used to work as a model. He likes to party. He's mixed race: half-Japanese, half-somewhere-in-Africa-n. He might be gay. Fuelling the gossip is the sudden appearance of a violent, pornographic video featuring a man who looks like a lot like Jackson.
When Jackson serendipitously meets three other queer mixed-race guys, he learns he's not the only one being targeted. Together they concoct a plan: find out who's responsible and, in the meantime, exploit the fact that nobody can seem to tell them apart to trick people who've wronged them.
From an Akutagawa prize winning author, Jackson Alone asks complex questions about how we see ourselves and how we see others, as well as what it really means to get revenge.
Some of Our Parts
A thought-provoking exploration of identity, Some of Our Parts casts a philosophical eye over the labels that shape our lives, considering how they can both help us to communicate our values and how they have the potential to trap us.
A memoir explored through a life in labels inherited, accrued and cast off, Some of Our Parts considers the power in reclaiming our own story and challenges readers to question how we define ourselves in a world that is so ready to decide for us.
Death of the Author
THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER.
The future of storytelling is here.
Life has thrown Zelu some curveballs over the years, but when she's suddenly dropped from her university job and her latest novel is rejected, all in the middle of her sister's wedding, her life is upended. Disabled, unemployed and from a nosy, high-achieving, judgmental family, she's not sure what comes next.
In her hotel room that night, she takes the risk that will define her life - she decides to write a book VERY unlike her others. A science fiction drama about androids and AI after the extinction of humanity. And everything changes.
What follows is a tale of love and loss, fame and infamy, of extraordinary events in one world, and another. And as Zelu's life evolves, the lines between fiction and reality begin to blur.
Because sometimes a story really does have the power to reshape the world.

The Architecture of Fear
'Brilliant, inventive and marvellously written' ALBERTO MANGUELA world without walls, without curtains, is not believable. Because there is no world without fears. Walls, curtains, are the architecture of fear. And the fear is us. At the heart of a forest there is a city surrounded by walls. Inside, the people are haunted by the memory of The Great Disaster that eliminated two thirds of their population. A dictatorial regime insists that order and discipline will protect the people from the threats of nature, but when a soldier is found mutilated outside the city walls on a winter's night, a new order takes root silently in the minds of the oppressed. One by one, they gather to listen to the voice of a man claiming to possess the gift of knowing what is to come. The man known as The Messenger. An unsettling, powerful and strikingly-written dystopian fable about revolution, power and oppression - for readers of Agustina Bazterrica, Margaret Atwood, and I Who Have Never Known Men. Ángel Gurría-Quintana is a historian, journalist and literary translator from Spanish and Portuguese. He writes regularly for the books pages of the Financial Times. His translations include Other Carnivals: Short Stories from Brazil (Full Circle Editions, 2013) and The Return, by Dulce Maria Cardoso (Maclehose Press, 2016).

Carved in Blood
THE GRIPPING NEW THRILLER FROM THE AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF BETTER THE BLOOD AND RETURN TO BLOOD. In the depths of the bleak New Zealand winter comes the rising of Matariki – a sacred constellation in Māori culture, heralding a time of new beginnings. For former Detective Senior Sergeant Hana Westerman, life is good: her work in her hometown of Tātā Bay is going well, the community is thriving, and her daughter Addison is getting engaged. But this Matariki brings unwelcome change. When Hana’s ex-husband Jaye walks into an Auckland liquor store and directly across the path of a gunman, their family’s hard-won peace is shattered. With the stakes at their highest, Hana finds herself picking up a path she thought she’d never return to. Desperate for answers, she rejoins the police to help scour the city for the unidentified shooter. But as the investigation progresses, she finds herself unprepared for the darkness of the world she is entering. A darkness much closer to home than she knows. ‘Marries a crash course in Māori culture with a gripping mystery . . . The good news is that Westerman will be back’ The Times, Best Crime & Thrillers of 2025 ‘Cogently plotted and well-written, this novel brings a new perspective to Māori culture’ Belfast Telegraph ‘With Australian thrillers doing well right now, New Zealand’s hot on their heels’ Peterborough Telegraph

And can she ever move on from the pain of her past?
Dark Shadow, Golden Shadow
Dark Shadow, Golden Shadow provides the tools and guidance necessary to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing with the added benefit of using tarot and other magickal tools as a way to gently explore the depths of our psyches—both challenging (the dark) and positive (the golden). Shannon Knight’s approach to shadow work is deeply rooted in secular, therapeutic, and psychological principles, but she recognized the valuable role that magick, archetypes, and symbolism play in this process. Unlike other books on the subject, Dark Shadow, Golden Shadow incorporates the use of tarot as a prominent tool that serves as a method of self-reflection, offering a portal to our subconscious and helping us access parts of ourselves that we otherwise may have been unable to. The imagery and archetypes help facilitate a dialogue with our shadow, making it easier to converse with the repressed and hidden parts of ourselves. To create harmony and reduce tension between the logical and mystical aspects of ourselves, we need to be curious about multiple ways of being, experimenting with how these impact us—for better or for worse—and then figuring out what to do with this information. Through exercises, techniques, and insights, Dark Shadow, Golden Shadow allows you to gently explore the depths of your psyche, uncover different parts of yourself, and navigate the path toward greater self-acceptance. It’s the ultimate process of “looking in the mirror.”
Raising the Bar
This is the story of the first ten years of SAMS and the remarkable reputation quickly acquired by its graduates, educated in a pre-World War II horse cavalry stable at Fort Leavenworth. It is also the story of the doctrinal revolution in which SAMS played an important role—a doctrinal shift that energized how the U.S. Army thought about and fought its wars. It may be claimed that the combination of a new, offensively oriented doctrine and educated practitioners significantly raised the level of tactical and operational understanding in the U.S. Army from 1983 to 1994. The book explores the interrelationship between the School of Advanced Military Studies, the introduction of operational art into U.S. Army doctrine, and how graduates of the school sought to translate education and doctrine into action. It begins with the decisions that led to the founding of SAMS and reviews the conditions at the end of the Vietnam War and the challenges the Army faced at that time. It then examines the development of operational-level war as the essential bridge between tactical actions on the battlefield and strategic objectives derived from national security policy. The narrative continues with a close look at the school in the years leading up to Operations Just Cause and Desert Shield/Storm, and how it was evolving to meet emerging demands. It then analyzes how SAMS graduates approached these early combat operations, using operational-level doctrine to frame and guide the conduct of war. The story also includes three key events from the turbulent period following Operation Desert Storm, as graduates applied doctrine in an era shaped by the collapse of the Soviet Union and shifting global realities. The book concludes with a study of how the school changed in response to both internal dynamics and external pressures, particularly those arising from combat operations and missions other than war. It contrasts the visions of the school’s first and sixth directors to illuminate how SAMS adapted over its first decade. Central to the narrative is the argument that, despite these changes, the school’s fundamental purpose remained constant—and understanding why offers insight into how SAMS and its graduates contributed to the Army’s evolution in tactical and operational thought.
