Description from Penguin Random House:
The bestselling Indigenous dark fiction anthology returns with a new selection of even more daring and sinister stories. From monsters to mutilation, Never Whistle at Night is back for revenge.
They’re baaaaaaaaaack!
As any savvy horror fan knows: the monster never truly dies. The team that brought you the bestselling dark fiction anthology Never Whistle at Night has risen, hungry, from the grave to summon more dark delicacies for your delectation. In these twenty-one brand-new, groundbreaking, gruesome stories—authored by both established and newly unearthed Indigenous talent—the contributors are fully embracing horror: both supernatural horrors and the everyday horror of living under colonialist rule.
Featuring stories of unspeakable yet satisfying terror, from twisted psychological tales to gore-filled monster hunts, this new selection of sinister stories will sate your darkest appetites and leave you slavering for more. Never Whistle at Night, Part II: Back for Blood is a further celebration of Indigenous survival and the enduring tradition of transforming adversity into art.
When we talk of stolen sisters
Poetry
This collection of Jessica Mehta’s powerful, beautiful, vulnerable work spans “from dates so long ago I can’t even recall” to her most current poetry in the midst of a pandemic. Her poems call our attention to the unsung disappearance of Indigenous women, the cultural genocide that still continues, the eating disorders that consume us from within, and to love, family, and the courageous choice to see the world from a different angle in the face of death.
Weaving the Terrain: 100-Word Southwestern Poems
Poetry
Weaving the Terrain: 100-Word Southwestern Poems is the third anthology collection in a unique series from Dos Gatos Press, Poetry of the American Southwest. Each poem is exactly one hundred words, no more, no less. Within this restriction, however, you’ll find poems as varied as the landscape, the history, the people they evoke. Weaving the Terrain includes stunning prose poems and haibun, as well as poems in every shape made possible by a poet’s imagination and the hundred words chosen. Each poem is a concentrated gem on a topic related to the broad area known as the Southwest. Editors David Meischen and Scott Wiggerman have arranged 211 poems by 151 poets in eight engaging chapters.
Award-winning poets include Dorothy Alexander, Gloria Amescua, Shayna Begay, Alan Birkelbach, Lauren Camp, Chip Dameron, Gregory Louis Candela, Jessica Mehta, Karla K. Morton, Elina Petrova, Brenda Nettles Riojas, Sharon Suzuki-Martinez, Larry D. Thomas, and Loretta Diane Walker.
Unchaste Anthology: Volume 2
Fiction/Non-Fiction/Poetry
We are Unchaste because we are damned if we do and damned if we don’t so we reclaim our words, work, and bodies through this artistic and linguistic endeavor. This anthology is based on the experiments of the Unchaste Readers Series, a west coast show that clings to a loose idea of creating and promoting art that takes risks and that shows the raw, vulnerable, ecstatic, complicated lives of women and gender non-binary folks and trans women and femmes—any of us who aren’t solely male-identified. This volume begins with challenging the tech boy belief in themselves as savior and ends with a call for Black Supremacy.
Microtext 3
Poetry and Flash Fiction
μtxt 3 (Microtext 3) is a collection of flash fiction and flash poetry — a genre Medusa’s Laugh Press refers to playfully as “microtext” (which is also how the first word of the title is pronounced). Like the first in the series, some pieces are quite brief, while others are made up of individual short components. Each copy of the book is hand-bound and fits in the palm of your hand.
Poetry
This timely collection of poems speaks not just to the current political climate and the man who is responsible for its title, but to the stereotypes and expectations women have faced dating back to Eve, and to the long history of women resisting those limitations. The nasty women poets included here talk back to the men who created those limitations, honor foremothers who offered models of resistance and survival, rewrite myths, celebrate their own sexuality and bodies, and the girlhoods they survived. They sing, swear, swagger, and celebrate, and stake claim to life and art on their own terms.
The anthology includes work from Kim Addonizio, Jan Beatty, Kelly Cherry, Annie Finch, Alice Friman, Allison Joseph, Marilyn Kallet, Melissa Kwasny, Shirley Geok-lin Lim, Jessica Mehta, Lesléa Newman, Nuala O’Connor, Alicia Suskin Ostriker, Melinda Palacio, Jennifer Perrine, Marge Piercy, Lucinda Roy, Maureen Seaton, Rochelle Spencer, A.E. Stallings, Stacey Waite, Diane Wakoski, Müesser Yeniay, and a fabulous coven of other women’s voices.
