They call it Deadtown: the city's quarantined section for its inhuman and undead residents. Most humans stay far from its borders--but Victory Vaughn, Boston's only professional demon slayer, isn't exactly human.... Boston's zombies have suddenly become inexplicably violent--horror movie-style--resulting in a catastrophic all-out battle against humans. More troubling to Vicky is that she's had dreams and visions of herself fighting alongside the demons. At least, she hopes they're just visions--otherwise, that puts her on the front lines of the wrong side of the war. Vicky's not surprised to discover that Pryce, her demi-demon cousin and loathed adversary, is behind the outbreak of the zombie plague, having formed an unholy pact with the Old Ones. Now, as the violence escalates and alliances shift, Vicky knows she's the only one who can stop the plague. Unless the pack of hellhounds on her trail finds her first.

Born in African American work songs, field hollers, and the powerful legacy of the spirituals, the blues traveled the country from the Mississippi delta to “Sweet Home Chicago,” forming the backbone of American music. In this anthology–the first devoted exclusively to blues poems–a wide array of poets pay tribute to the form and offer testimony to its lasting power. The blues have left an indelible mark on the work of a diverse range of poets: from “The Weary Blues” by Langston Hughes and “Funeral Blues” by W. H. Auden, to “Blues on Yellow” by Marilyn Chin and “Reservation Blues” by Sherman Alexie. Here are blues-influenced and blues-inflected poems from, among others, Gwendolyn Brooks, Allen Ginsberg, June Jordan, Richard Wright, Nikki Giovanni, Charles Wright, Yusef Komunyakaa, and Cornelius Eady. And here, too, are classic song lyrics–poems in their own right–from Bessie Smith, Robert Johnson, Ma Rainey, and Muddy Waters. The rich emotional palette of the blues is fully represented here in verse that pays tribute to the heart and humor of the music, and in poems that swing with its history and hard-bitten hope.

Jerome Rothenberg’s final anthology—an experiment in omnipoetics with Javier Taboada—reaches into the deepest origins of the Americas, north and south, to redefine America and its poetries The Serpent and the Fire breaks out of deeply entrenched models that limit “American” literature to work written in English within the present boundaries of the United States. Editors Jerome Rothenberg and Javier Taboada gather vital pieces from all parts of the Western Hemisphere and the breadth of European and Indigenous languages within: a unique range of cultures and languages going back several millennia, an experiment in what the editors call an American “omnipoetics.” The Serpent and the Fire is divided into four chronological sections—from early pre-Columbian times to the immediately contemporary—and five thematic sections that move freely across languages and shifting geographical boundaries to underscore the complexities, conflicts, contradictions, and continuities of the poetry of the Americas. The book also boasts contextualizing commentaries to connect the poets and poems in dialogue across time and space.

It isn't fate. But it is love. Owl shifter Olly has always trusted her inner animal. So when her owl makes it clear that handsome, rugged Jackson isn't her mate, she knows that what she feels for him can't be true love... right? Last Christmas, Jackson gave Olly his heart. And her owl chewed it up and spat it back at him. He's tried to stay away from her...but a year apart hasn't changed anything. He may be a human in a town of shifters, and he may not be Olly's true mate, but he knows that their love is real. This Christmas, nothing is going to stop Jackson from winning the woman he loves. Not shifter tradition. Not Olly's snobby owl. And definitely not his deadbeat dad, who's swanned back into town spouting nonsense about Jackson finally "fledging his wings". After all, what good is being a latent pegasus shifter, if he isn't Olly's true mate?
