BENBECULA, the latest novel by the twice Booker-nominated author Graeme Macrae Burnet is out today in North America!

Elegant, eerie, and hypnotic, BENBECULA is about a real life, little known triple murder that took place on a remote Scottish island in the 1850s. It's a novel approach to true crime, darkly funny at times, about a man, living alone, haunted by memories and voices, slowly sinking into madness.

“It is not a horror story per se, though Angus’s actions are horrific, but the novel has a similar effect of establishing a kind of gravitational pull that you cannot escape . . . Burnet has written the novel from a smattering of historical documents described in an afterward, and he has brewed a powerful spell imagining the darkness surrounding these events . . . For the right reader, BENBECULA will be a powerful experience.”
—John Warner, Chicago Tribune

Happy pub day to Ray Robertson's DUST: MORE LIVES OF THE POETS (WITH GUITARS)!

In DUST, Ray Robertson digs deep, offering up an eclectic gathering of a dozen biographical and critical portraits of some of the twentieth century’s most innovative, influential, and fascinating musicians. From rock to folk, blues to gospel, country to the unclassifiable; from the famous, to the forgotten, to the barely known, Ray Robertson combines a novelist’s eye for dramatic detail with an unapologetic fanboy’s obsession with the lives and lasting artistic achievements of twelve of his musical heroes.

The musicians included in DUST are Alex Chilton, James Booker, Nico, The Staple Singers, Captain Beefheart, Handsome Ned, Duane Allman, Lee Mavers, Duster Bennett, Danny Kirwan, Nick Drake, and Muddy Waters.

"The decision to use Malcolm as the narrator was completely instinctive. [...] Very quickly I realized that what I’m writing about is a man alone in an isolated cottage with his dark memories and he’s quite tormented in a disquieting way."

Today is the official release date for The Sorrow of Angels by Jón Kalman Stefánsson, translated by Philip Roughton! This is book #2 in his Trilogy About the Boy, following Heaven and Hell.

The novel follows the boy, still grieving the death of his best friend, as he embarks on a new quest to help an alcoholic mailman with his deliveries across a brutal Icelandic winter.

But it is Stefánsson's voice that hooks you. The Sorrow of Angels is an epic poem of a novel—a timeless story that portrays the human struggle for hope within the ferocious majesty of Iceland.
