Beaver Hills Forever: A Métis Poetic Novella
by Conor Kerr
Following his award-nominated Prairie Edge, Conor Kerr returns with Beaver Hills Forever, a bold and genre-bending portrait of Métis life on the Prairies. Told in alternating poetic verses, the novel follows four distinct voices—Buddy, Baby Momma, Fancy University Boy, and Aunty Prof—each embodying the limited and fraught paths available to them.
As they reveal their ambitions, disappointments, humor, and delusions of grandeur, their personal struggles unfold alongside the larger forces shaping their lives, from colonial education systems to extractive industries. Riotous, incisive, and deeply moving, Beaver Hills Forever is a necessary exploration of labour, learning, and the complicated bonds that pull us back to one another across the wide prairie landscape.

We Love You, Bunny
by Mona Awad
In the cult classic Bunny, Samantha Heather Mackey, a lonely outsider at a prestigious MFA program in New England, was first ostracized and then seduced by a clique of eerie, charming girls who call themselves “Bunny.” Drawn into their Smut Salon, Samantha tumbled down a dark rabbit hole into their off-campus workshops, where monstrous creations emerged with deadly and wondrous consequences.
In We Love You, Bunny, Sam has just published her first novel to critical acclaim. But at a New England book tour stop, her former frenemies, furious over their portrayal, kidnap her. As a captive audience, Sam—and readers—hear the Bunnies’ side of the story: the birth of their alliance, the discovery of their uncanny creative powers, and the phantasmagoric adventure of conjuring their first creation. A wickedly intoxicating fairy-tale slasher, this dark academia tale explores the horror and wonder of creation, friendship, and love.

Mother of God
by Sara Peters
Marlene calls herself a psychic wound healer, but her abilities are limited to visions—visions of only one person: her mother, Darlene.
The visions began when Marlene was nine, a symbol of a bond so deep it was both a refuge and a warning. Years later, after a long estrangement, a message from Darlene draws Marlene from Vancouver across the country to small-town Nova Scotia. The journey is haunted by vivid memories of childhood betrayals, decades of distance, and Darlene’s menacing on-again-off-again boyfriend, Ed. Yet the promise of reconnection is irresistible.
When she arrives, Darlene is nowhere to be found. As figures from the past emerge and reality begins to unravel, Marlene is forced into a harrowing confrontation with terror, grief, and the limits of her own mind.
