Centroeuropa
Revelations--and frozen corpses--multiply in a small, European village
"Male, Prussian, hussar soldier, frozen. That was the first body I found while digging in the frozen earth to bury my wife."
At the dawn of the nineteenth century, European feudalism is starting to crumble. Newly widowed, Redo Hauptshammer arrives in a small town far from home to claim a plot of arable land and the simple life of a farmer. But when Redo begins to dig up the field, the perfectly preserved, frozen corpse of a soldier emerges. The next day, Redo uncovers two more soldiers, dressed in uniforms of an earlier age. And then there are more.
As bodies from past and future wars proliferate exponentially, Redo enlists the aid of eccentric villagers, but risks exposing a precious personal secret and the great love at the heart of it. What will be excavated and what will remain buried?
Subtle, subversive, and full of surprises, this ingeniously structured novel heralds a talented writer whose experimentations in style are as dazzling as his humane, spirited story of oppression, erasure, and endurance.

Across the Knoll
College students, Bryan Morgan and Martin Stevenson, have created their own sophisticated camera, unmatched in 1963, and they are eager to test it out. What better place than the presidential parade, as President John F. Kennedy aims to win over political opponents in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963?
Things escalate quickly when the President is shot, and Bryan and Martin catch it all on film. The chase is on to avoid those who conspired in the President's assassination, and it may be people closer to them than they realize. When the conspirators become aware that Bryan and Martin captured it all-including multiple shooters, they are forced to make tough decisions.
Forced to flee, Bryan and Martin must protect their film, knowing that it is the key to revealing the truth about President Kennedy's death. Will they release it to the world? Can America handle the truth?
This novel explores the questions that have always swirled around the assassination of President Kennedy, and confronts the possibility that the official lone gunman story told to the American people for decades may not be the full story after all. Join Bryan and Martin on an adventure that spans decades and continents in a fight for survival, while struggling with disclosing a secret that could change the narrative about the way an entire country trust its own government.

Sold outHell to Pay
When the Devil's son gets kicked out of Hell, all Hell breaks loose-on Earth. Lucian "Luke" Teivel isn't just any exile-he's Lucifer's son, freshly banished from Hell with no forwarding address and zero explanation. Now he's stuck in the human world, paying cosmic penance by working for Infernal Affairs, a secret task force that polices supernatural crime and decides whether the guilty belong in prison...or back in the Pit. Luke's doing his best to blend in and not burn his petty annoyances when a new partner storms into his life: Detective Sorcha O'Malley. She's sharp, stubborn, suspicious-and assigned to keep him from indulging in his more demonic tendencies. But Sorcha carries shadows even Luke can't read. Just as they're settling into their begrudging partnership, college students start dropping across Savannah, Georgia. And every clue points directly at Luke. Someone is framing him-someone with a grudge, a plan, and a very personal reason to send him back to Hell. To survive the setup, Luke and Sorcha must team up against enemies both infernal and annoyingly human. But as the danger escalates and Sorcha's secrets inch closer to the surface, Luke faces the worst dilemma imaginable: Hand over his new partner to the devil... Or be relegated to earth forever. And if he's not careful? Savannah might wind up with a fresh vacancy in its homicide department-and one very pissed-off Prince of Hell.Sold out -

In this unique and thoughtful collection, a young funeral director--also known as "the internet's favorite mortician" (CNBC)--explores various aspects of death, offering heartfelt and practical insights into how we determine what matters most while we are alive.

Backbeats: A History of Rock and Roll in Fifteen Drummers
A Rolling Stone Best Music Book of 2025, this is an electrifying, "superb" (Atlantic), and "entirely fresh" (Rolling Stone) journey through the history of rock and roll, told through the lives of fifteen iconic drummers and their percussion rivals--from John Bonham and Charlie Watts to Ringo Starr and Questlove. Rock and roll thrives on rhythm, but the drummers who drive that pulse often stay in the shadows. In Backbeats, acclaimed music historian John Lingan brings these unsung heroes into the spotlight, delivering a fascinating journey through six decades of rock history. Lingan's deep research and vivid storytelling explores the lives of fifteen pathbreaking drummers and their fellow timekeepers--men and women who together laid down the beat of an era. From Bernard Purdie's legendary work with Aretha Franklin to Dave Grohl's funk- and punk-indebted swing for Nirvana, these drummers redefined what was possible in pop music. Iconic figures like Ringo Starr, whose inventive style transformed the Beatles, and Charlie Watts, the steady backbone of the Rolling Stones, take center stage. But Lingan doesn't stop there--he also shines a light on groundbreaking, underappreciated talents like Maureen Tucker of The Velvet Underground, whose minimalist beats rewrote the rule book, and Sam Lay, a pivotal figure in rock's evolution from the blues. Packed with insider stories and exclusive interviews--from Robert Plant's reflections on Led Zeppelin's legendary sessions to superstar recording engineer Steve Albini's behind-the-scenes accounts--Backbeats offers an eye-opening glimpse into some of rock's most unforgettable moments, including the seismic shift of Bob Dylan going electric at Newport, James Brown's explosive creation of funk in the late sixties, and the birth of LA thrash metal in the early eighties. More than just a tribute to an unrecognized group of virtuosos, this book is a love letter to the art of drumming itself. Both "broadly accessible" and "enlightening" (Rolling Stone) to musicians and non-musicians alike, Backbeats shows how these remarkable artists not only kept the beat but drove rock and roll forward. It's a must-read for any music lover, offering a fresh and thrilling perspective on a story we only thought we knew. -
