Unbound Edition Press today announced it will publish Christian Bancroft’s debut book of poetry, A Ghost Has No Fantasies. The poems in this collection derive from found texts regarding the persecution of queer men and women before, during, and after the Holocaust. The title is scheduled for publication on International Holocaust Remembrance Day in January of 2026.

Patrick Davis, publisher and editor in chief at Unbound Edition Press, said, “Christian’s book is among the rarest of things: poetry that resurrects, honors, and heals people lost to the deepest of tragedies. There is no book like this one, and we are beyond privileged to publish it.”

Aimee Parkison's cross-genre collection of stories, Body of Evidence, is now available for pre-order! The title, which blends real-life crime reports and speculative fiction, is scheduled for publication in October to honor Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Body of Evidence crosses boundaries between story and confession in a haunting speculative collection that confronts the aftermath of gendered violence by blurring the divide between fiction and nonfiction. Structured as exhibits in a case file, this hybrid mosaic challenges traditional storytelling to make invisible wounds visible. Each piece functions as both artistic exploration and cultural investigation, questioning how silence operates in survival.
