Nominated for a 34th annual Lambda Literary Award • A scintillating thriller with an emotional punch: “The tension builds to unbearably claustrophobic levels. To say more would rob readers of the 'no, he didn’t' suspense that makes Bath Haus an unexpectedly twisted, heart-pounding cat-versus-mouse thriller" (Los Angeles Times).
Oliver Park, a recovering addict from Indiana, finally has everything he ever wanted: sobriety and a loving, wealthy partner in Nathan, a prominent DC trauma surgeon. Despite their difference in age and disparate backgrounds, they've made a perfect life together. With everything to lose, Oliver shouldn't be visiting Haus, a gay bathhouse. But through the entrance he goes, and it's a line crossed. Inside, he follows a man into a private room, and it's the final line. Whatever happens next, Nathan can never know. But then, everything goes wrong, terribly wrong, and Oliver barely escapes with his life.
He races home in full-blown terror as the hand-shaped bruise grows dark on his neck. The truth will destroy Nathan and everything they have together, so Oliver does the thing he used to do so well: he lies.
What follows is a classic runaway-train narrative, full of the exquisite escalations, edge-of-your-seat thrills, and oh-my-god twists. P. J. Vernon's Bath Haus is perfect for readers curious for their next must-read novel.
By: Sheung-King (Author), 2024,m Hardcover
*WINNER OF THE 2024 WRITERS' TRUST ATWOOD GIBSON FICTION PRIZE*
From Governor General's Award-nominated author Sheung-King comes a novel about a millennial living through the Hong Kong protests, as he struggles to make sense of modern life and the parts of himself that just won’t gel.
Glen Wu (aka Glue) couldn’t care less about his job. He’s returned to Hong Kong, the city he grew up in, and he’s teaching ESL, just to placate his parents. But he shows up hungover to class, barely stays awake, and prefers to spend his time smoking up until dawn breaks.
As he watches the city he loves fall—the protests, the brutal arrests—life continues around him. So he drinks more, picks more fights with his drug dealer friend, thinks loftier thoughts about the post-colonial condition and Frantz Fanon. The very little he does care about: his sister, who deals with Hong Kong’s demise by getting engaged to a rich immigration consultant; his on-and-off-again relationship with a woman who steals things from him; and memories of someone he once met in Canada....
When the government tightens its grip, language starts to lose all meaning for Glue, and he finds himself pulled into an unsettling venture, ultimately culminating in an act of violence.
Inventive and utterly irresistible, with QR codes woven throughout, Sheung-King’s ingenious novel encapsulates the anxieties and apathies of the millennial experience. Batshit Seven is an ode to a beloved city, an indictment of the cycles of imperialism, and a reminder of the beautiful things left under the hype of commodified living.

By: Cassie Premo Steele (Author), 2017, Paperback
On their honeymoon, two women journey to Oregon and encounter the deeper, painful springs of the state's history while learning from the land and water how to live, and love, in new ways. Oregon is thought to have been a Native American word for "beautiful waters." In this volume of poetry with the same name, Beautiful Waters, the landscapes of nation and state are seen through the eyes of a woman in love. On her honeymoon in Oregon with her new wife, the poet takes readers with her on a journey through the element of water as a representation of our heart's deepest natural powers: vulnerability, intimacy, and renewal. The seven poems with titles like "Clouds," "Falls," and "Springs," move beneath the obvious, personal streams into the deeper, underground histories of Westward Expansion, Native American removal, industrialization and commercialization, and environmental destruction. And yet throughout, there are rainbows, blends of color and light and water, leading us to hope for something greater. Beautiful Waters, in the end, shows what might spring from facing these histories: an understanding of our shared connection to the land with its promise of healing our wounds as we learn to live, and love, in new ways.
