Pamela Pankhurst is a beleaguered creative writing professor at Sanford Liberal Arts College (SLAC, home of the Slackers) when the pandemic hits, her campus shuts down, and a passive-aggressive new administration with draconian policies takes over. As her coworkers lose their will to live and the institution careens toward catastrophe, Pamela bands with two colleagues to investigate: who are these administrators who make nonsensical demands and seem to harbor vendettas against everyone? Pamela and her intrepid workmates risk their careers and their sanity as they seek to rescue their campus from dehumanization and certain ruin.

GAD'S BOOK follows an awkward, obsessive novelist with a carefully constructed life who unwittingly joins a seductive circle of charismatic activists, who may or may not be part of Antifa. Never able to write much, now each time he's asked to describe his novel-in-progress, he offers an entirely different description than the one before-each one closer to the escalating events of his life, packed with the sexual misadventures and political violence he now finds himself entangled in. GAD'S BOOK marks the debut of a keen, incisive and very funny new voice.

In Thirteen Question Method, a man hides out in a Hollywood apartment from a past he doesn't want to remember and a present he is desperate to avoid. The summer sky is thick with ash, and across the courtyard, his neighbor won't stop screaming. When she asks for help in an inheritance dispute with her estranged stepmother, he is drawn into a web of fear and manipulation, until he begins to lose sight of what is real. Echoing the work of Dorothy B. Hughes and James M. Cain, David Goodis and Albert Camus, Thirteen Question Method is a churning psychological thriller, set against the backdrop of contemporary Los Angeles. In a novel inspired by classic noir, David L. Ulin excavates the depths of a disintegrating soul.

While clearing out his great aunt's midtown apartment after her death, author David Winner discovered artifacts of her storied existence: notes from opera stars, love letters and artifacts from the Middle East of the 1930's. His Aunt Dorle had been a co-founder of Angel Records and a prominent figure in the mid-century classical music world. But the more he learned about her world, the more complicated her story became, a twisted puzzle full of love and fascism, a record of a young woman grappling with her attraction to lovers with hair-raising political ties. A powerful work of family discovery, rooted in a bygone Midtown Manhattan and involving artists and politicians from around the world.
