Ordinary Devotion
Braided medieval and modern stories of an anchoress, her handmaiden, and the adjunct professor searching for them across centuries as they each navigate ambition, confinement, and the patriarchy.
“The modern and medieval stories spiral in and out of each other, intricate and vivid as the letters of illuminated manuscripts, connected by the mysteries of paradox: confinement and freedom, loss and fulfillment.” —Elizabeth Cunningham, My Life as a Prayer and The Maeve Chronicles
“Holt-Browning is adept at honing in on the passion for life, nature, and language that can sustain a person through the hardest times.” —Nerissa Nields, Plastic Angel and All Together Singing in the Kitchen
Twelve-year-old Elinor is enclosed with an anchoress, Lady Adela, in a cell at Wenlock Abbey, 14th century England. Centuries later, an adjunct professor of medieval studies discovers Elinor’s long-lost book of hours on a research trip to England. Holt-Browning explores women’s timeless struggle for personal agency as her unforgettable characters discover the burdens and rewards of faith and devotion. A must-read for fans of Julian of Norwich.

NECROLOGY
“This book is beautiful. A feminist tale that imagines witches directly connected to the Earth, so much so, they are called ‘Dirty.’
Through a long-ago pact with the ‘blackcoats’ - religious men - women gave up their magic in exchange for remaining unharassed.
Hundreds of years later, one woman, Whitetail, sprouts horns and exhibits strange and terrifying behavior. Is it her, or is it her absorbed twin who sometimes possesses her and spits generations of pent-up rage through her mouth?
When Whitetail thwarts an attempted rape with help of a cast-iron skillet, the offender drops dead. Was it the bang on the head she gave him, or the curse her daughter shouted as he stumbled out the door?
Rich mythology, harrowing scenes, and genuinely terrifying moments make this a perfect novel for witchy season.
Come to this event, meet Meg, hear a great conversation with fellow author Meghan Arcuri, and let’s kick off SPOOKY SEASON right.”

WITCHLINGS HOUSE OF ELEPHANTS
From New York Times bestselling and award-winning author Claribel A. Ortega: The third book in the spellbinding Witchlings series!
It's been months since the end of the Golden Frog Games, and a cure for the hex that turned young witches to stone still hasn't been found. Seven and Thorn want nothing more than to find a way to heal their friends, but everything they try ends in failure.
When the Black Moon Ceremony arrives earlier than expected, Seven and Thorn take it as a chance to welcome any new Spares into their coven. But rather than welcoming a few Spares like they thought, all the witchlings in the ceremony are chosen to enter the Spare coven!
The new Spares are met with anger from the Hill Society. They create more unfair laws that ban Spares from using magic and being equals in Twelve Towns society! On top of all that, Spares start disappearing. And no one seems to care.
As Seven and Thorn struggle to find a cure for the stone hex and to stop the Twelve Town’s unfair treatment of Spares once and for all, they discover a piece of hidden history that will change everything—if they can get anyone to listen to them.

I Dreamed of Falling
In acclaimed author Julia Dahl's new standalone, the death of a young mother triggers an avalanche of secrets in a small Hudson Valley town.
Roman Grady is the sole reporter for the local newspaper in a tiny Hudson Valley town - a town so small that every store opening and DUI is considered newsworthy. But when Roman's longtime girlfriend, Ashley, the mother of his four-year-old son, is found dead, he realizes he had no idea what was really going on in her life.
And when he starts asking questions, he's not prepared for the answers.
What was Ashley doing at the cliffside home of her troubled ex-girlfriend? How did no one in a house full of people see what happened to her? And why does it seem like everyone in town suddenly has something to hide? As Roman and his mother dig into Ashley's last few months, the truths they uncover threaten to expose painful secrets. The kind of secrets that can get you killed.
A gripping thriller and a moving portrait of a family struggling through tragedy,I Dreamed of Fallingshowcases Julia Dahl's talent for using crime fiction to tell an immersive and unforgettable story. Dahl's unflinching novel asks hard questions about love, regret, inequality, and the possibilities and the perils of forgiveness.

Which is a problem because a) lucy lives in the quaint New England town of Briar Glen where everyone loves all things autumn, and b) she’s a barista at her mom’s coffee shop, Cup o’ Jo. As the first fall leaves descend upon Briar Glen, Lucy and her mom gear up for a busy season…
But then Java Junction, a multinational coffee chain, opens a store literally across the street. Home of the world-famous pumpkin spice latte. To make matters worse, it turns out that Jack Harper, the new kid in school and Lucy’s secret crush, is the son of the owners. Talk about mixing business with pleasure.
If Cup o’ Jo wants to survive the competition, from Java Junction, Lucy will have to set aside her feelings for the popular drink-and Jack!-to make this the coziest pumpkin spice season ever.

Where the Silent Ones Watch
William Hope Hodgson’s writing life spanned fourteen years,during which he published novels and stories of the adventurous, the fantastic, and the horrific. Best known, perhaps, for his novel The House on the Borderland, Hodgson wrote several other landmark weird works, including The Boats of the “Glen Carrig,” The Ghost Pirates, and The Night Land, as well as dozens of short stories. He explored places in the ocean where realities overlapped, described the horrors of a house built beside a gap between dimensions, and transported readers to a desolate future, where abhuman monstrosities prowl. He displayed imaginative visions of staggering scope unlike any others in literature.
In this anthology, twenty-seven authors and poets visit Hodgson’s worlds and concepts to dig deep into his mythologies and delve into fresh mysteries in unexpected times, locations, and interpretations. Whether or not you’ve read Hodgson’s works, these visions of Hodgsonian horror will lead you into strange, liminal, and frightening new landscapes of the weird and fantastic.

Brian Asman - GOOD DOGS
Friendly reminder: no outside books allowed at Stanza events. All books for signing must be purchased at Stanza.
BOOK LAUNCH: GOOD DOGS
The debut novel from viral horror sensation Brian Asman, Good Dogs is a heartfelt and harrowing story of survival, belonging, found family, and the lengths we'll go to protect it.
No one ever said being a werewolf was easy. Take Delia, for instance. She's spent much of her life fighting against her own nature, plagued by nightmares of childhood trauma, and trying to find her place in the world. Many werewolves are just like her: ostracized by their families, forced to live alone and in secret as they await those nights when the Change overtakes them.
Becoming the den mother to an odd bunch of lycanthropes in Southern California isn't exactly the answer Delia was looking for. But under the strict rules of the house, they are able to manage the Change safely and hunt without endangering their San Diego suburb. And they aren't lone wolves anymore, they're a pack--a family.
But when one member's carelessness leads to the discovery of a severed leg in their backyard, Delia and the rest of her family are forced to confront the cold, hard fact they've known all along--they don't belong here. Their only option is to cover up the kill and head into the wilderness, far from people. There, hopefully, they can live out their lives without posing a threat to anyone else.
At home, they might've been apex predators. But in the wilds around Talbot--a town abandoned for a century--Delia and her pack aren't the only ones with a savage bite ...

Gifts from the Garbage Truck
A picture book about what we throw away, and why it might be worth keeping!
What if everywhere you looked, you saw something to make? Instead of seeing something broken, you saw something to fix? Instead of seeing something to throw out, you saw something to give away? This is how Nelson Molina sees the world. A former employee for the New York City sanitation department, Nelson saved over 45,000 objects from the garbage to fix and show his community through his museum, Treasures in the Trash.
Explore the hidden potential in what we often discard and think differently about consumption, waste, and the impact of small actions. With themes of upcycling, anti-consumerism, love for community, and finding joy, Gifts from the Garbage Truck inspires kids to think creatively and curiously about what they do (and don't) throw away!
Often, Nelson came across oddly shaped garbage bags.
They clinked and clanked and jingled and jangled.
Is there something more than garbage in here? Nelson would wonder. Is there something someone might love?
"I knew it!" he'd exclaim, tearing the bag open and discovering a new gift from the trash.
Nelson didn't throw the objects into the back of the truck with everything else.
He had a better idea.
