Craft Distilling accomplishes the extraordinary task of making the arcane art form accessible and practical for anyone who can cook from a recipe. The joy of creating spirits at home is a great incentive for learning a little chemistry and Victoria makes the chemistry fun!---Bryan Welch, Mother Earth News , and CEO, B the Change MediaIn Craft Distilling, author Victoria Redhed Miller leads us on a wonderfully intoxicating journey that answers the question of why distill spirits at home  with eloquence and clarity that only a passionate practitioner can offer. With Miller&#8217;s help we come to understand just why it is that most of us can&#8217;t legally make spirits for ourselves, and she makes a wonderful case for why we should be able to do just that!

Craft Distilling is as important for dreamers and practitioners as it is for policy makers, and it belongs on the shelf of everyone who has anything to do with the production and consumption of distilled spirits.---Oscar H. Will III, Editorial Director, Mother Earth NewsThis is one of the most comprehensive books I have seen to date. This book tells you everything you need to know to become a knowledgeable distiller. The book also has many great recipe&#8217;s.I would highly recommend this book to any new or experienced distiller.---Mike Haney, Hillbilly Stills

"Henehan weaves a delicious plot of self-discovery as if in a dreamlike state. Each new development reveals a change in Finley&#8217;s own existence and resets the very world of the novel itself." &#151;BUST"There is a noirish tinge to the plot, which involves a secretive investigation; the heroine, Finley, is certainly hardboiled, the characters she encounters mysterious in their motivations&#151;but the tone is closer to Lewis Carroll than Raymond Chandler. (Alice in Wonderland-like touches include a Quadrille, a rum-raisin cake, and satirical absurdities including send ups of communes and performance art.) The meandering narrative is subordinate to sprightly wordplay and stylistic elegance, but contextual meaning isn&#8217;t sacrificed. . . . Funny, fanciful, and kinetic, this work earns its place in any collection of experimental fiction." &#151;Foreword"In playfully measured prose, Henehan&#8217;s poignant farce evokes Beckett and her world is as funny and inventive as that of George Saunders, but her bold voice and tenderness make for something entirely original, entertaining, and well worth the read." &#151;Booklist"An impressionistic tale propelled by Henehan's gorgeously arch prose and a constant stream of droll humor. There's no doubt that Henehan is a talent."&#151;Publishers Weekly"A very intriguing novel filled with insistent rhythms and syntactical playfulness. Henehan's precision and obvious delight with language make the voice of this novel wonderful company. One is reminded of certain European writers like Beckett or Bernhard, but Henehan has also made something&#151;funny, ominous&#151;of her own."&#151;Sam Lipsyte"Orion You Came and You Took All My Marbles is not just smashingly titled, it is also beautifully, madly, electrically alive. Beware of its puppets. Watch out for Murphy. Keep track of The Lamb. Consider Uppal. Question Finley.&#160;Here is worthy work for the fingers, the heart, the eyes, the mind."&#151;Laird Hunt, author of Ray of the Star and The Impossibly"Kira Henehan has reached into the wheezing carcass of the traditional detective story and relieved it of all its bones and logic.  The result is a novel unlike anything I&#8217;ve read before: hilarious, severe, baffling, and sometimes so far over my head that I can only see a distant glow."&#151;Ben Marcus, author of Notable American Women

When enigmatic Dr. Jan Sayer gathers survivors of supernatural violence for therapy, she unwittingly unlocks evil from the prison of consciousness. Harrison, a cynical monster-hunter, wallows in lethargy. Suicidal Barbara burns to read the secret messages inscribed on her bones. Cantankerous Stan is the lone survivor of a cannibal feast. After paranoid Martin sees slithery spirits lingering around volatile Greta, a powerful young woman decorated with mystically charged scars, ancient evils usher the rag-tag survivors to a battle with the Hidden Ones, exiled deities trapped in prisons of flesh. Gregory&#8217;s beautiful imagery and metaphors bring bittersweet intimacy and tenderness to the primal wonder of star-lit legends. Isolated people, both victims and victimizers, are ghosts in a waking world, blind to their encounters with living nightmares. Blending the stark realism of pain and isolation with the liberating force of the fantastic, Gregory (Afterparty) makes it easy to believe that the world is an illusion, behind which lurks an alternative truth&#151;dark, degenerate, and sublime."&#151;Publishers Weekly&#147;. . . a clever and creepy horror tale . . .&#8221;&#151;Library Journal&#147;Clever, and filled with the creeping dread of what&#8217;s in the flickering shadow next to you and what&#8217;s just around the corner that suffuses the best horror.

Beautiful.&#8221;&#151;Seanan McGuire, author of the October Daye series and Half-Off Ragnarok&#147;A superb, haunting tale by one of our very best writers.

Someone chain [Gregory] to a desk so he stops doing anything other than write.&#8221;&#151;SF Book Reviews&#147;What this all comes down to is that if you&#8217;re a fan of horror, or of anything Daryl Gregory has written elsewhere, or just of fantastic novellas that demonstrate exemplary storytelling, then you ought to read We Are All Completely Fine.&#8221;&#151;Bibliotropic&#147;Not for the faint of heart, We Are All Completely Fine is a great read!&#8221;&#151;Bibliophilic&#147;I&#8217;ve not encountered many authors in the horror genre who flex literary muscle as well as Gregory.

The seed from which a thousand nightmares can spring, an unexplored jungle of imagination that bodes well for stalwart explorers of horror!  Highly recommended!&#8221;&#151;Horror After Dark&#147;Intriguing world building, characters tinged in tragedy, a history of darkness and things on the periphery.... this is an awesome novella....&#8221;&#151; Read or Dead&#147;This is a scary, funny, bittersweet, fantastic book, and Gregory&#8217;s imagination is twisted and wonderful.&#8221;&#151;My Bookish Ways&#147;...creepy paranormal elements and wonderful writing...&#8221; &#151;Not Yet Read&#147;We Are All Completely Fine is not your typical horror novella. Yes, it is dark and creeping with mysterious dread, but it is also charming, clever, and even hilarious at times.  . . [It] is an intricate story that uses metafiction as a way to self-reflect on the horror genre tropes we have all come to love, while paralleling them with a stark realism. &#147;The premise of the novel is a fresh take on the horror genre and speaks to our society&#8217;s fascination with wanting to know, from a safe distance, what it is really like for survivors of such trauma as we empathize with their pain. The novella is a quick read that both casual horror fans and hardcore horror fans alike will enjoy.&#8221;&#151;The Shed

Andrew Sloane brings a rich double background to this provocative and much needed work on the philosophy of medicine. He is trained in both medicine and theology. William James described philosophy as a particularly stubborn attempt to think clearly. The best theology is equally the result of such stubbornness. Clarity and careful reflection informed by both fields are much in evidence in this volume. So too is Sloane's concern for the vulnerable and their need of care informed by his Christian worldview that frames the discussion. Sloane believes that "medicine is searching for a clear understanding of what it is and what it is about." This volume is an important response to that search because it deals not just with descriptive questions but the normative ones of how medicine it to be thought about and what the proper ends of medical practices ought to be.

Vulnerability and Care

“Deliciously wicked … readers will also find plenty to enjoy (one sequence of unwitting cannibalism is particularly memorable).”—Publishers Weekly"Fast-moving and witty in style and tone, this novel is one not soon forgotten."—World Literature Today"There's considerable charm to Bursa's clever variation on the story of youth seeking purpose ... A nicely off-beat little novel."—The Complete Review"The haunting theme of the novel may bring to mind Dostoevsky, but its macabre originality is strictly that of the author ... Andrzej Bursa emerges from the pages ... as a provocative, interesting, original and highly talented though always angry young man."—World Literature Today“Dead at 25 in 1957, the Polish postwar firebrand Andrzej Bursa acquired a reputation as a quick-burning, existentially tormented rebel … Yet Bursa’s dark humor and deadpan satire – finely captured here by translator Wiesiek Powaga – keep utter bleakness at bay.”—The Independent“A revolution against the banality of everyday life.”—Gazeta Krakowska

"This is one of the most original and entertaining books I have ever read . . . It will make you think and it will make you humble. It might even make you grateful . . . I submit that it would be difficult not to think about your own learning and your learners as you read Elizabeth Chapman Hoult's words. Adult Learning and la Recherche Féminine is a rare discovery. It isn't often that a book impresses me as much as this one did, and I hereby salute the author's acuity and skill." - Journal of Pedagogic Development

"Every so often a book appears that deeply challenges the reductionism of narrowly scientific, overly rationalistic, writing on education. Elizabeth Chapman Hoult's text sensitively transcends poetic and scientific ways of knowing, the philosophical and personal, the material and spiritual, self and other, in chronicling and celebrating the vulnerability, resilience and mystery that is transformative learning." - Linden West, Professor of Education, Canterbury Christ Church University

"Hoult's book provides a striking account of what it means to survive and flourish as a learner. Giving interdisciplinary attention both to literary texts and to student interviews, Hoult affirms the value of working with and through creative experience. In doing so, this book provides a suggestive antidote to the dominance of impersonal 'evidence-based' educational studies." - Ben Knights, National Teaching Fellow, Emeritus Professor of English and Cultural Studies, School of Arts and Media, Teesside University

"This powerful and stunningly written book marks a new direction in the use of literary perspectives in educational research. It is particularly strong in its development of an innovative methodology to explore the nature of resilience in adult learners. An inspiring read." - Vivienne Griffiths, Director of Research and Professor of Education, Canterbury Christ Church University
