On a dusty orange background, a 3D mockup of JULIUS JULIUS by Aurora Stewart de Peña with black text reading: "Happy Book Release"

In the background, the back half of a dog walking into a black portal from the cover for JULIUS JULIUS slightly blurred out. On top, a deep orange rectangle with slightly rounded corners with black text reading: “The rambling, mythic Agency reminded me at times of the enormous bathhouse from Hayao Miyazaki’s Spirited Away, or the infinite labyrinth of Susanna Clarke’s Piranesi, but ultimately could only be the creation of the singular imaginative force that is Aurora Stewart de Peña. A delight.” –Jordan Tannahill, author of The Listeners

On a dusty teal-green background, a 3D mockup of THE DAMAGERS by Rob Benvie with black text reading: "Happy Book Release"

In the background, the cover for THE DAMAGERS slightly blurred out. On top, a pale blue rectangle with slightly rounded corners with black text reading: “A stampeding, mesmeric novel, The Damagers is the work of a mind set on fire. Rob Benvie crafts prose like starlight—saturated, precise, and furious—pinpricks that cut through the dark sweep of power and craving. In this singular novel of men who seek to own souls, Benvie offers a handheld mirror to now: to the threat of tyranny, the urgency of knowledge, and the total, lifesaving miracle of sistership”–Claudia Dey, author of Daughter
