Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Ten linked portraits of pride, longing, and hard-won dignity across the sun-baked streets of Southern California's San Gabriel Valley. With a cast of characters so vivid they seem to leap from the page, this collection of linked short stories offers a portrait of individuals aching to find their place in an indifferent world. The characters who inhabit these stories -- teenagers, beauty queens, race car drivers, and even grandfathers -- fall in love, strive to make ends meet, or search for answers to their future while reconciling the past. Across El Monte, these stories follow an auto mechanic sheltering his nephew, an ice cream vendor raising her young son, and an aging mariachi searching for a lost love. The author brings a patient, generous eye to every backyard gathering, crowded kitchen, and roadside breakdown along Valley Boulevard. Throughout the collection, the prose honors these unglamorous lives without sentimentality, revealing the quiet dignity within ordinary routines. Michael Jaime-Becerra casts a warm glow on each of them. Multiple POV: Shifting perspectives move from an aging mechanic rebuilding engines on Peck Road to a junior high trumpet player navigating schoolyard skirmishes and family loyalties. Dual Timeline: The narrative reaches back to a scorching September in 1956, following young speed-shop driver Georgie as he survives a violent track collision in Gardena to keep a dinner date with local beauty queen Etiwanda Andrade. Working-Class Realism: Daily labor anchors every scene, whether Mini is managing the morning breakfast rush under the golden arches while fretting over her sick infant, or Max is assembling homemade tattoo needles in a rented garage. Los Angeles Literature: Set beneath the humming power lines and sun-bleached asphalt of suburban Southern California, these portraits illuminate a community where families quietly endure across body shops, tortillerias, and church basements.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. What the Woods Keep is the stunning debut of Katya de Becerra, who combines mystery, science fiction, and dark fantasy in a twisty story that will keep you mesmerized right up to the final page. On her eighteenth birthday, Hayden inherits her childhood home--on the condition that she uncover its dark secrets. Hayden tried to put the past behind her, and it worked. She's getting ready for college, living in a Brooklyn apartment, and hanging out with her best friend and roommate Del. But now it's all catching up with her: her mother's mysterious disappearance a decade before, her father's outlandish theories about a lost supernatural race, and Hayden's own dark dreams of strange symbols and rituals in the Colorado woods where she grew up. As soon as Hayden arrives at her hometown, her friend Del in tow, it begins: Neighbors whisper secrets about Hayden's mother; the boy next door is now all grown-up in a very distracting way; and Hayden feels the trees calling to her. And among them, deep in the woods, Hayden will discover something incredible--something that threatens reality itself. An Imprint Book "Blending mythology and a contemporary story of family drama, de Becerra's debut novel is a narrative that will keep readers enthralled." --Booklist "Spooky atmospherics and moral ambiguity complement the blend of science and myth to create a thoughtful and compelling horror fantasy." --BCCB "This book glues you to the edge of your seat. The writing is powerful, with dashes of humor to lighten the tension at just the right moments. One of the best sci-fi/horror/mysteries I've ever read." --Derek Milman, author of Scream All Night.…

Hardback. Condizione: Good. Haunting of Hill House meets found-footage horror in this edge-of-your-seat thriller that explores the power of family ties and the trauma that lurks there. When Sophia Galich was twelve, she starred in her older sister Layla's amateur horror movie Vermillion, which recorded raw footage of her very real reactions to scenes her sister concocted in their old Californian house on the coast--Cashore House. In the years after the film's release, Sophia's relationship with her sister became more strained, while her memories of the now-infamous house fueled her nightmares. Vermillion amassed an army of fanatical fans who speculated about the film's hidden messages, and it was rumored that Layla made a pact with the devil--her soul in exchange for fame and arcane knowledge. Sophia dismissed this as gossip.until Layla disappeared. Now, Sophia must study the trail of clues Layla has left behind, returning to the very place where it all began. As she gets closer and closer to Cashore House's haunted heart, she must once again confront the ghosts of her childhood. But the house won't reveal its secrets without a fight.…
