The Weight of Blood
Horseplay
by D.B. Carew

After barely surviving the events of The Killer Trail, Vancouver psychiatric social worker Chris Ryder is called in to learn what he can about the prime suspect, Marvin, an autistic man found covered in blood at the scene of the crime.
In his first true crime memoir, undercover operator Norm Boucher recounts eight months spent infiltrating Vancouver’s 1980s heroin scene, a world of paranoia, ripoffs, and violence.

Goth Girls of Banff
The Response of Weeds
by John O’Neill
by Bertrand Bickersteth
These gothic short stories, set in the Canadian Rockies, are haunted by the violence inherent in nature and humans. The mountains are majestic and impassive. The characters are surprising, bent, but also empathetic. Their survival is tenuous.
The Response of Weeds offers a much-needed window on often overlooked contributions to the province’s character and provides personal perspectives on the question of Black identity on the prairies.
“O’Neill’s Goth Girls of Banff is a collection that has something for everyone.” ~ Skylar Kay, FreeFall Magazine
“In its form and content, The Response of Weeds represents a vigorous and erudite excavation of history and a carefully constructed reclamation of place, both geographically located and culturally significant.” ~ Steven W. Beattie, Quill & Quire
