“Things that are and are not, she thinks, and the dog is a snake.”

In this fantastic and fantastical debut, @cjlavigne.com concocts a wondrous realm overlaying a city that brims with civic workers and pigeons.

Revolution Songs is the electrifying debut novel by award-winning writer @carissahalton.bsky.social inspired by the little-known story of a Communist union, the rise of the Canadian Ku Klux Klan, and the women who fought on both sides.

@matthewjtetreault.bsky.social debut novel shines with a poignant, but playful character-driven meditation on the struggles of holding onto “la langue,” and marks the emergence of an important new voice.

@sjonespoet.bsky.social puts obsessive-compulsive disorder centre stage. Attic Rain is an ongoing act of resilience and an honest account of moving through a world obsessed with normality.
