The Klingon Hamlet (Star Trek)
by Lawrence SchoenFor too long, readers throughout the Federation have been exposed to The Tragedy of Khamlet, Son of the Emperor of Qo'nos, that classic work of Klingon literature, only through inadequate and misleading English translations. Now at last, thanks to the tireless efforts of the Klingon Language Institute, this powerful drama by the legendary Klingon playwright, Wil'yam Shex'pir, can be appreciated in the elegance and glory of its original tongue. This invaluable volume contains the complete text of the play, along with an English translation for easy consultation and comparison. In addition, an incisive introduction explains the play's crucial importance in Klingon culture, while copious notes illustrate how the debased English version diverges from the original, often distorting and even reversing the actual meaning of the verses. Khamlet, the Restored Klingon Version, is a work that belongs in the library of every human who hopes truly to understand what it means to be Klingon.

The Knife and the Butterfly
by Ashley Hope PérezAfter a marijuana-addled brawl with a rival gang, 16-year-old Azael wakes up to find himself surrounded by a familiar set of concrete walls and a locked door. Juvie again, he thinks. But he can't really remember what happened or how he got picked up. He knows his MS13 boys faced off with some punks from Crazy Crew. There were bats, bricks, chains. A knife. But he can't remember anything between that moment and when he woke behind bars. Azael knows prison, and something isn't right about this lockup. No phone call. No lawyer. No news about his brother or his homies. The only thing they make him do is watch some white girl in some cell. Watch her and try to remember. Lexi Allen would love to forget the brawl, would love for it to disappear back into the Xanax fog it came from. And her mother and her lawyer hope she chooses not to remember too much about the brawl—at least when it's time to testify. Lexi knows there's more at stake in her trial than her life alone, though. She's connected to him, and he needs the truth. The knife cut, but somehow it also connected.
Knife Fight: And Other Struggles
by David NickleStories of the mysterious and macabre from &“Canada&’s answer to Stephen King&” (Helen Marshall, author of Gifts for the One Who Comes After). In this follow-up to his award-winning debut collection, Monstrous Affections, David Nickle stretches the boundaries of horror into a sphere of &“uncertainty, of helplessness, of traditions and change. . . . The stories are sui generis in presentation, veering from the discombobulating nightmare that is &‘Basements&’ to the squid-laden eco-satire &‘Wylde&’s Kingdom&’ to the sci-fi love of &‘Love Means Forever.&’ When it comes to this book, only two things are certain; the stories never travel where you expect, and David Nickle is a monumental talent&” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). &“Don&’t make the mistake of overlooking the talent based on preconceptions of what horror might be—read one of these stories and see if you aren&’t hooked. . . . Believe the hype. David Nickle is very good.&” —The Globe and Mail &“Anyone even vaguely interested in horror or weird fiction owes it to themselves to give David Nickle a look, and Knife Fight and Other Struggles is a great place to start.&” —The Winnipeg Free Press &“Knife Fight and Other Struggles is a remarkable collection that drops some hi-fidelity weirdness on the scene. Nickle&’s prose has gorgeous lines of symmetry and a steel spine.&” —Laird Barron, Shirley Jackson Award–winning author &“Dynamic imagination, masterful writing of both the everyday and the nightmare, characters that breathe, and a dark sense of humor make [Knife Fight and Other Struggles] a keeper.&” —Jeffrey Ford, World Fantasy Award–winning author
