THANK YOU INDIES! 📚 's SISTER CREATURES is an INDIES INTRODUCE PICK! Coming October 2025, preorder today with your favorite local bookstore.

“An arresting blend of dirty realism and Southern Gothic, telling multiple coming-of-age stories that intertwine in a wholly original way. It amuses, engages, and unsettles, defying and exceeding all readerly expectations." —James Crossley, , St. Louis, MO

“I was blown away by Laura Venita Green’s debut novel, Sister Creatures. The stories of four women, loosely connected by their small Louisiana town, connect, break, and re-connect through their lives and experiences. These indelible characters are driven by their desire for something more, more than the lives they find themselves in. The Gothic undertones of the novel — fairy tale references, weirdly threatening triplets, dark woods where dark things happen — shift the perspective from mundane to something strange and magical as these very human stories play out. A must-read!” —Laurie Gillman, , Washington, D.C.

“An enthralling and engrossing debut, Sister Creatures invites the reader into the tangled family lives and thorny psyches of the women of Pinecreek, Louisiana. I could read an entire book on each narrator and still come back for more.” —Katherine Nazzaro, , Cambridge, MA

Help us expand North Figueroa Bookshop! With your help we’ll nearly triple the footprint of the store to include an event space and art gallery we call the Citizen’s Band Art Hall (CBAH).

LINK TO OUR INDIEGOGO FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN IS IN OUR BIO!

Founded in 2022 and attached to our publishing office in Los Angeles' historic Highland Park neighborhood, North Fig continues to grow and serve with a simple message: reading is a human right.

Solidarity and friendship empower us, and they are critical to survival now more than ever. We are well on our way, but now we need your help to launch strong by June 1, 2025.

We hope you’ll be a part of this new space and can’t wait to share in it together.

MY CLAVICLE by Marta Sanz, necessary in-flight reading, coming this July ✈️

Today we present you with a little magic in these trying times. OPEN UP by Thomas Morris, is a collection of sensitive, heartfelt, and wildly imaginative short stories brimming with a Welsh flavor of British charm as twinkling and anxious as it is rich with depth and craftsmanship.

Distant dads, shy lads, and curious seahorses are just some of the compelling figures that populate these five gorgeous stories.

Following raves from Ali Smith to Jon McGregor, the KIRKUS REVIEW to the Financial and Irish Times, we're honored to bring Morris to the U.S. for the first time. You can find a copy of OPEN UP anywhere books are sold or directly from us at unnamedpress.com.

Read Sally Rooney's full speech on the book and read an EXCERPT from the book in our stories!

We hope you enjoy.

As always,
Your friends at Unnamed Press

One part academic satire, one part archaeological thriller, Ella Alexander's THE SLEEPING LAND is out now! 💀

Described by Rivka Galchen, author of Everyone Knows Your Mother is a Witch, says "Alexander's distinctive brilliance makes every page a wonder in this psychologically astute and also very, very funny novel."

We love this book for it's depth of character study, the drama between colleagues, the love and attention paid to archaeological methods, and the liminal otherworldliness of the forest, veiled in the dusty shadows of the past.

What, or who, could lurk in those ancient woods?

You'll have to read to find out.

If you're in Los Angeles, especially consider joining us at Diesel Books next Tuesday 3/11 at 6:30pm (or shop online) as we hope to continually support our LA bookseller community in the wake of January's devastating fires in any way we can.

Happy publication day to Emma Ruth Rundle's THE BELLA VISTA! 🥀

On shelves now wherever books are sold, this poetry collection is, all at once, a concept album, addiction memoir, family tree, a love letter. 💌

With The Bella Vista, Rundle turns to language as the best and perhaps only tool suitable to express, in her words, “the tenderness and brutality of romantic love.”

Let this serve as your reminder that there are THREE MORE DAYS until Valentine's Day.

We suggest going to your favorite local bookshop to pick up Rundle's poems, and better yet, peruse the entire poetry shelf. Treat yourself.

Here's to music, mistakes, and womanhood; to cross-country road trips and the long road to finding oneself.

xoxo,
Your friends at Unnamed Press
