Some creatures are better left to the darkness ...

From the moment he saw his first shade, Jimmy Hobart knew he was different. Special-that's what his mother called him. He didn't feel special, carrying a secret he couldn't share with anyone else. Burdened would be more accurate. But it was his gift that eventually led him to Roni and showed him she was the one. He thought he could trust her with his secret. He thought he could tell her anything ... He wished he had.

The presence on Woody Creek Lane wasn't like the others he'd encountered. This one wanted something. Will Jimmy figure out what that is before it's too late?

"Rites"

Christopher Murphy

Christopher Murphy’s viscerally stunning collection of short and very short stories is the first fiction chapbook published by USPOCO BOOKS. Murphy’s eye scours the interstices of America, roaming seamlessly in and out and through the bodies of the characters that inhabit these unique landscapes where the unseen is as real, and as relevant, as the seen. These stories will transport readers from the pulsing life of main street to the end of the world, and beyond.

"Aftermath"

Sara Jeanine Smith

These poems deftly depict, from Eve's point of view, a contemporary vision of the aftermath of the mythic "failure" in obedience which lost the fabled garden of perfection. In twelve wonderfully crafted poems, Smith reveals an empowered and self-determined Eve: an explorer who has taken control of her own story and appears rightfully unashamed to set out into the wilderness as the male pioneers who claimed sole authorship before her. Through the lens of Smith's collection, what was once depicted as the wilderness is finally starting to come into view as the garden made new.
