What happens when a woman takes control of her own gaze?

Camgirl is Isa Mazzei’s brilliantly self-aware chronicle of life at the intersection of art, eroticism, and identity. Wickedly funny and impossible to put down.

A modern love story set in New York, Cooler Heads by Julian Tepper is a piercing exploration of intimacy, ambition, and identity in a (often cursed) city that tempts us to believe we can have it all.

From basement riots to banned stages, Leftöver Crack rewrote the rules and paid the price. This is a punk oral history that’s drenched in blood and brilliance.

The band goes on out this November. The chaos continues.

From backstage chaos to quiet hotel rooms, Malia James—bassist for Dum Dum Girls and Marnie Stern—turns the lens on her own story. Girl in a Girl Band is an intimate collage of photographs and handwritten reflections.

Jennifer Sklias-Gahan’s The House in the Middle of the Street is a spellbinding debut of inheritance, haunting, and the creatures we dare let in. Think Brothers Grimm by way of a fever dream, steeped in shadow and bound by blood.

Originally written in 1966 but long kept from the public, Frank Capra’s Cry Wilderness is one of our backlist gems that showcases the iconic filmmaker’s deeply humane storytelling in literary form.
