Book cover for Bang Bang Bodhisattva by Aubrey Wood (‪Solaris):‬ It’s 2032 and hacker-for-hire Kiera’s living in the worst cyberpunk future. She’s been gigging her ass off to keep the lights on, chasing cheaters with Angel Herrera, a luddite P.I. who talks like a ’40s movie detective. But that changes when Herrera’s ex-best friend turns up murdered. Their only lead: a stick of Nag Champa incense dropped at the scene. Next thing Kiera knows, her new crush has disappeared, leaving nothing behind but a severed hand (the real one, not the cybernetic) and the familiar stink of sandalwood. Two crimes, two sticks of incense, Kiera framed for both. She told Herrera to lose her number after the last job, but now the old man might be her only way out of this mess... https://rebellionpublishing.com/product/bang_bang_bodhisattva/Book cover for How Do I Sexy?: A Guide for Trans and Nonbinary Queers by Mx. Nillin Lore (Thornapple Press): A practical and insightful consideration of what it means to be sexual as a trans, queer person. https://thornapplepress.ca/books/how-do-i-sexy/

#DSPBposts #bookstodon

Book cover for The Call Is Coming from Inside the House: Essays by Allyson McOuat (ECW Press), with a white-sheet-wrapped figure holding a phone. In a series of intimate and humorous dispatches, McOuat examines her identity as a queer woman, and as a mother, through the lens of the pop culture moments in the ’80s and ’90s that molded her identity. https://ecwpress.com/collections/books/products/call-is-coming-from-inside-the-houseBook cover for The Long Hallway by Richard Scott Larson (University of Wisconsin Press), with a door at the end of a dark hallway cracked open, glowing light coming through. Growing up queer, closeted, and afraid, Richard Scott Larson found expression for his interior life in horror films, especially John Carpenter’s 1978 classic, Halloween. He developed an intense childhood identification with Michael Myers, Carpenter’s inscrutable masked villain, as well as Michael’s potential victims. Larson scrutinizes this identification, meditating on horror as a metaphor for the torments of the closet. https://uwpress.wisc.edu/Books/T/The-Long-Hallway

Book cover for Naniki by Oonya Kempadoo, which was a 2024 GG finalist in fiction and longlisted for the 2025 Carol Shields Prize for Fiction (Rare Machines). Amana and Skelele are made of water and air, their essence intertwined with Taino and African ancestry. They evolved as elemental beings of the Anthropocene, and shape-shifting with their naniki (active spirits) or animal avatars, they begin an archipelagic journey throughout the Caribbean Basin to see the strange future they dreamed of. Until devastation erupts. Tasked by their elders to go back in time to the source of the First People’s knowledge, they must surmount historical and mythological challenges alike. How can they navigate and overcome these obstacles to regenerate themselves, their love, their islands, and their seas? Cover shows an impressionistic view of perhaps a swimmer or pair of mermaids swimming through iridescent material. https://www.dundurn.com/books_/t22117/a9781459751491-nanikiBook cover for The Midnight Project by Christy Climenhage (Wolsak and Wynn), with red tentacles against a deep purple background.

When Sykes asks them to genetically engineer a way for humanity to survive the coming ecological apocalypse, Raina is tempted. Bees are dying, crops are failing, and she knows her research is partly to blame. Could she help in some way? Though troubled, Cedric agrees to take part when it becomes clear their benefactor will do this with or without them. How else can he be sure their work won’t fall into the wrong hands? But can they really trust Mr. Sykes? https://bookstore.wolsakandwynn.ca/products/the-midnight-projectBook cover for Countess by Suzan Palumbo (ECW Press), with a determined-looking woman in flowing cape against a purple moon.

Book cover for Searching for Terry Punchout by Tyler Hellard (Invisible Publishing), with a blue shirt, headless, against a blue and red background, with title text in a yellow sunburst pattern. Garden State meets King Leary in this slapshot debut novel. Adam Macallister’s sportswriting career is about to end before it begins, but he’s got one last shot—a Sports Illustrated profile about hockey’s most notorious goon, the reclusive Terry Punchout—who also happens to be Adam’s estranged father. Shortlisted for the 2019 Amazon Canada First Novel Award & Kobo Emerging Writer Prize. https://invisiblepublishing.com/product/searching-for-terry-punchout/Book cover for Like One of The Family: Conversations from a Domestic's Life (Beacon Press), with a maid in a blue dress and orange apron ironing red cloth, the drawing cut off at the neck.

In a cultural moment where folks are stripped of the their dignity or shed it willingly, the figures in this book wonder at the utility of maintaining their own. There's a touch of Hamlet's question in there along with some I Ching. Can monkeys pray? Are we better off living in the real world or a speculative one? https://www.sarabandebooks.org/all-titles/p/a-terrifying-brush-optimism-brian-leung

Book cover for The Mother, a graphic memoir by Rachel Deutsch (Douglas & McIntyre), with a cartoon woman on a circus swing dropping a baby bottle and pacifier. A raw and honest, harrowing and humorous journey into the dualities of modern motherhood in graphic memoir form. New Yorker cartoonist Rachel Deutsch desperately wanted a baby, yet she was fearful of actually being pregnant and having one. She lurched into a new identity and then missed her old one. She loved her new baby fiercely, but yearned for her previous relationship with her partner, as sleepless nights revealed the cracks below the surface of their relationship. Funny, provocative, visually striking and unabashedly candid, The Mother offers empathy and laughs to new and seasoned parents, encouraging readers to embrace the unexpected depths of feeling, wildness, weirdness and love that come with the territory. https://douglas-mcintyre.com/collections/new-releases/products/9781771624329Death & Other Inconveniences by Lesley Crewe (nominated for the 2025 APMA Best Atlantic-Published Book Award) (Nimbus Publishing) Well, Dick’s dead. Now what? Margo, his widow, is trying to dodge the tsunami of paperwork coming her way. She doesn’t want to deal with the details—why do you think she was married in the first place? Dick always handled the drudgery. Monty, Margo’s ex-husband (the first one, not the dead one), is trying to support Margo—who seems to be finally entering adulthood at the tender age of sixty-two. Their daughter Julia knows Margo needs her, but between work complications, house complications, and genius-yet-useless son complications, Julia’s gasping for air already. Dead Dick’s ex-wife Carole and their daughter Velma consider a Margo a maneater thanks to a few long-ago indiscretions, so the funeral is a nightmare. Life in New Brunswick lately is a tornado of siblings, children, pets, marriages, health issues, and endless bureaucracies. And at the centre of it all is Margo, living alone for the very first time, trying to endure everyone else’s judgements about the woman she is when she doesn’t even know herself. Maybe a cat will help. (The cat doesn’t help.) How old do you have to be to come of age? ….and has anyone seen Dick’s will? https://nimbus.ca/store/death-other-inconveniences.htmlBook cover for Inuit Inngiusingit: A Collection of Inuit Choral Music II by Dr. Mary Piercey-Lewis, illustrated by Sydney Barnes (Inhabit Media), with two Inuit women facing each other.

Book cover for Ox Lost, Snow Deep by Alice Burdick (Anvil Press), with an ox against a white background, the sky suggested by a blue band across the top of the image. “I’m just going to break this, okay?” writes Nova Scotia poet Alice Burdick in her sixth full-length poetry collection. The 14 long poems in Ox Lost, Snow Deep range from confessional narrative to collage to surrealism, exploring representations of history, both public and personal, and within that, they probe what is considered important and what is considered not important. These poems include takes on semi-rural existence, raising a family, and living in poverty. They also veer toward popular culture: using movies, music, social media language as jumping-off points or simply by taking those media’s forms. Burdick confronts the very embarrassment of simply being alive: excruciation, apology, loss, humour, mistakes, and grief—and the freedom achieved by acknowledging these things. Nominated for the 2025 Maxine Tynes Nova Scotia Poetry Award. https://www.anvilpress.com/books/ox-lost-snow-deepBook cover for Citymouse by Eleanor Hannon (Conundrum Press), with a black and white drawing of a street scene against a white background. A green band across the top of the image contains the title and author text. A series of interlocking memories about people and places in a Halifax neighbourhood. Hannon has always lived here, and within that is a history of buildings in her life that have disappeared. As people and neighbourhoods change, the memories of how things were is increasingly challenging to conjure (but no less loved). Citymouse examines the ways that we begin to mourn places and experiences before we’ve lost them. https://conundrumpress.com/product/citymouse/Book cover for a tender tale of two cousins, Cousin Bear Comes to Visit, by Métis artist Halie Finney (Conundrum Press), with title text in a brown box along the top and below that, two legs walking in a black and white drawing, with the edge of a hand gripping a bucket at the top. https://conundrumpress.com/product/cousin-bear-comes-to-visit/Book cover for Inherent by Kevin Stebney (Assembly Press), typography broken down into its most basic (and beautiful) forms to reveal the inherent voice within each shape.

Book cover for What to Feel, How to Feel: Lyric essays on neurodivergence & neurofatherhood by Shane Neilson (Palimpsest Press), with a drawing of a brain in stylized dots and dashes against a yellow background. Focusing on non-neurotypicality, Neilson investigates his supposed difference of self while also holding to account society’s construction of that difference, moving from his early childhood to adulthood and then back again in terms of a neurodivergent fathering of his own son. Covering subjects that have yet to receive attention in Canadian literature, including how the medical profession discriminates against its own, Neilson’s poetic accounts of stigma and self-discovery interleavened with literary history mark a first in our letters. https://palimpsestpress.ca/books/what-to-feel-how-to-feel-shane-neilson/Book cover for GLEEM by Freddy Carrasco (Drawn & Quarterly), with a face divided into squares against a yellow background. Imbued with cyberpunk attitude and in the rebellious tradition of afrofuturism, GLEEM is drawn with a fierce momentum hurtling towards a future world. Carrasco’s distinct cinematic style layers detailed panels and spreads, creating a multiplicity of perspectives, at once dizzying and hypnotic. Vignettes unspool in proximity to our own social realities and expand into the outer layers of possibility. Whether in the club or a robot repair workshop, the characters in these three interconnected stories burst across frames until they practically step off the page. https://drawnandquarterly.com/books/gleem/Book cover for Dog Days by Keum Suk Gendry-Kim (Drawn & Quarterly), with a variety of gray dogs against a yellow background, and the text "from the author of The Naked Tree & The Waiting". The author of Grass returns with a profound tale of family. Yuna never wanted to adopt a dog. But with her partner in mourning–and in desperate need of a boost in morale–she gives in to his humble request. And in the grand tradition of reluctant pet owners, she and their puppy soon become inseparable. The young couple even goes so far as to relocate from Seoul to soothe their new canine pal’s anxiety. After all, there’s nothing like a move to the country to set yourself right. Right? https://drawnandquarterly.com/books/dog-days/Book cover for La doudou cherche et trouve (The cuddly toy seeks and finds) by Claudia Larochelle and Maira Chiodi (VLB Éditeur), a teddy bear search-and-find book in French. Cover shows a wide variety of objects behind a magnifying glass. https://editionslabagnole.groupelivre.com/products/la-doudou-cherche-et-trouve?variant=46196683145473
