Guillermo X. Márquez returns with DISPOSSESSED: A Very L.A. Ghost Story, a supernatural comedy novel following his true-crime/horror sensation EVIL'S EDEN: Only Murders in Los Angeles. The new work explores life, love, and loathing in Los Angeles through the story of a boy and girl encountering absolute evil during amateur home renovation. Márquez also offers EVIL'S EDEN: Only Murders in Los Angeles, which examines notorious crimes in Los Angeles history including the Black Dahlia, Little Marion Parker, the Manson killing spree, and the Night Stalker through years of research and data analysis.

Clark Hilton presents BAMBOO: A Post-Apocalyptic Odyssey, described as a genre-melding journey through a brutal near future. The story follows sixteen-year-old Gen's quest for love from her lonely family farm to a gleaming utopia, only to be thrust into a savage domain. The narrative is framed as folklore from a distant civilization, posing the chilling question about humanity's potential destiny toward oblivion.

Felicia Fairhope makes her non-fiction debut with 2 Weeks 2 Utopia: Let's Mend the World in 14 Days!, a climate-action guide proposing that Earth's climate damage can be reversed with collective effort within two weeks. The book addresses increasing heat waves, floods, fires, droughts, and storms while providing practical steps to combat ecological catastrophe. The publication features inspiring art, poetry, space for personal reflections, and an eco-puzzle to test readers' environmental knowledge.
