Bugle: A Dog of the Rockies (Famous Dog Stories)
by Thomas C. HinkleBugle was only a pup that first time he tangled with One Toe, the notorious rogue bear. His valiant mother Queen fell in the midst of that savage fight to the death. And from that day on the big powerfully built wolfhound never stopped in his hunt for the monster grizzly—even when the trail led him farther and farther away from the ranch and his young, pretty owner, Mary Norman. Caught and beaten by Lute Boggs, a crafty down-and-out trapper, Bugle almost starved to death. In a desperate effort to break away, the courageous dog was stung by the sudden strike of Lute's bullet. Yet Bugle was to escape at least when the treacherous Lute was struck down by the maddened One Toe. Bugle struck out on the trail of the grizzly once again, but was himself plagued by all the natural enemies of the timberland. But blizzards and the threat of wolves and mountain lions could not hold back Bugle from his destined showdown with One Toe. And when it came out was a bloody fight as the two teetered on the edge of a high cliff. Thomas Hinkle once again succeeds in capturing the spirit of the West in his tale of a magnificent wolfhound named Bugle.

Bugsy & Other Stories
by Rafael FrumkinFrom the author of Confidence and The Comedown comes a wildly imaginative story collection about queerness, neurodivergence, sexuality, and self-discovery. Frumkin&’s latest book is a deliciously entertaining collection of five genre-defying stories that range from downright hilarious to brilliantly unhinged. Taken together, they celebrate a wide variety of human experiences. In the title story, a queer young adult with bipolar disorder drops out of college in a fog of depression, aimlessly drifting between maintaining their job at a fast food restaurant and dodging their mom&’s texts. But when they fall in with a group of sex workers starring in BDSM films, they find radical freedom, love, and community. In other stories, we meet a psychiatrist whose meticulously-maintained life is upended by an Alex Trebek-like voice in his head, an e-girl celebrity who is being courted by a delusional fan, a young boy on the spectrum at odds with a neurotypical world determined to &“cure&” him, and an elderly woman whose consciousness is being transformed by her oncoming death. With incredible insight, compassion, and honesty, Frumkin unravels each story with tantalizing precision. Sexy and raw—and compulsively readable—this collection offers a look at our innermost selves as we all try to make sense of the world and our place in it.

Build Your House Around My Body: A Novel
by Violet KupersmithPart puzzle, part revenge tale, part ghost story, this kaleidoscopic novel spins half a century of Vietnamese history and folklore into a &“brilliant, sweeping epic that swaps spirits and sheds time like snakeskin&” (Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts and Survivor Song).Two young women go missing decades apart. Both are fearless, both are lost. And both will have their revenge. 1986: The teenage daughter of a wealthy Vietnamese family loses her way in an abandoned rubber plantation while fleeing her angry father and is forever changed. 2011: A young, unhappy Vietnamese American woman disappears from her new home in Saigon without a trace. The fates of these two women are inescapably linked, bound together by past generations, by ghosts and ancestors, by the history of possessed bodies and possessed lands. Alongside them, we meet a young boy who is sent to a boarding school for the métis children of French expatriates, just before Vietnam declares its independence from colonial rule; two Frenchmen who are trying to start a business with the Vietnam War on the horizon; and the employees of the Saigon Spirit Eradication Co., who find themselves investigating strange occurrences in a farmhouse on the edge of a forest. Each new character and timeline brings us one step closer to understanding what binds them all. Build Your House Around My Body takes us from colonial mansions to ramshackle zoos, from sweaty nightclubs to the jostling seats of motorbikes, from ex-pat flats to sizzling back-alley street carts. Spanning more than fifty years of Vietnamese history and barreling toward an unforgettable conclusion, this is a time-traveling, heart-pounding, border-crossing fever dream of a novel that will haunt you long after the last page.
