Step into a world where animals talk in rhymes, spiders ponder philosophy, and soup is never what it seems. In this curious collection of nonsense poetry, you'll meet a monkey obsessed with yellow pants, a centipede with too many bleeding feet, and a lion whose royal dreams are nibbled away by mice. And just when you think it can't get stranger, someone's serving glue soup and cockroach soup for lunch. Playful, clever, and just a little bit unsettling, these poems stir the imagination and tickle the darker corners of the mind.

Life doesn’t always give us easy answers. It gives us questions, doubts, setbacks, and moments that shake us awake. We fall. We get hurt. We search for meaning in the small places—conversations, memories, storms, quiet mornings, and the people we’ve loved and lost. The Nature Within Us is a book about those moments. Albert Alarcon writes with the voice of someone who isn’t pretending to have everything figured out.

Eden Among Us is an intimate and soul-stirring tale of two spirits—Asai and Adham—whose connection was forged long before the world knew their names. Woven together in the celestial Hall of Becoming, their souls danced in mirrored rhythm upon the Loom, destined to one day find each other in the natural realm. But destiny does not unfold without testing. Love, to be remembered, must first be longed for.

Along the Elizabeth River in Norfolk stands an unassuming diner where love and misery are on the menu. Come for breakfast, stay for the pie. You might never want to leave. The Dark Reflections series is a shared world based on the art by Jeff Lee Johnson in which each author has contributed a single character to the telling of the tale behind the images.

In the early morning hours of February 25, 1945, U.S. anti-aircraft artillery opened fire on an unidentified object in the skies above Los Angeles. Over the course of the next three hours, "swarms of planes" were reported as roaming the skies above the city of angels, though in the end the public was told it was a false alarm. Now, Moonstone Books has unearthed the truth about that night, and how classic pulp and comic characters The Phantom Detective, The Black Bat, The Domino Lady, Airboy, and Secret Agent X fought back against a menace from another world!

When a boy volunteers for a government experiment, he returns transformed: body accelerated, mind saturated with lifetimes of knowledge. On Earth, wolves terrorize neighborhoods, machines fuse with flesh, and the state whispers promises of immortality. In the vein of Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World and George Orwell’s 1984, Boy in Space is a chilling dystopian vision — a story of innocence stripped away, of control disguised as progress, and of what happens when humanity itself becomes the experiment.
