New Release: Winter '26
A misdelivered package. A hotel that won’t give it back. A city closing in at every turn.
When a delivery slip directs him to the Windmill Hotel—a decaying relic looming just across from his downtown Los Angeles loft—Matthew sets out on a simple errand: pick it up. Go home.
But nothing about the Windmill is simple. Each attempt to claim the package pulls him deeper into the city’s nocturnal machinery—past flickering storefronts, uneasy encounters, and the constant thrum of helicopters overhead. Time stretches. Faces repeat. His own reflection begins to feel unreliable.
As the distance between Matthew and the package collapses, an unsettling possibility takes hold: the errand was never the point—and the closer he tilts toward the Windmill Hotel, the closer he comes to falling in completely.
TILTING AT THE WINDMILL HOTEL is a hypnotic work of literary fiction, blending noir tension with psychological unease. Set against a slightly askew downtown Los Angeles, it explores isolation, perception, and the quiet terror of losing control—faster than expected.
In the newest edition of the Ripperologist Journal of Jack the Ripper, East End and Victorian Studies, P. William Grimm provides a detailed analysis of the possibility that Queen Victoria's Royal Wigmaker, Willy Clarkson, just might be responsible for the 1888 Whitechapel Murders, long attributed to a phantom killer dubbed “Jack the Ripper.“ Following up on his 2019 documentary “Wigmaker of Wellington Street,“ Grimm offers the most detailed consideration ever completed of this fascinating and compelling theory.
In a Dadaesque homage to Donald Sobol’sEncyclopedia Brown series, or perhaps a Sobolesque homage to the Dada movement, Jex Blackwell Saves the World is not quite like any book one has ever read. The main character is a sixteen-year old punk with a secret genius for medicine and an equal passion for music; but life in her native Los Angeles home- filled with dark, gritty city streets and strange, sometimes desperate characters - is not easy.
Emancipated from her abusive parents at fourteen and graduating high school early the following year, Jex lives alone and can’t quite convince herself to go to college. Instead, she spends her days quietly tending to her job as a librarian’s assistant, and her nights tagging walls and running from cops. In between, she uses her photographic memory and encyclopedic knowledge of medicine to help ease the pain and help solve the medical mysteries of the disenfranchised and scared dwellers of L.A.’s dark nights, daring to venture where even some trauma doctors fear to go.
Still trying to cope as a not-quite-adult in a massively adult world, Jex may not be able to save herself, but she is determined to at least save the world.
Valencia Street includes twenty short stories, of love and hate, hope and despair, life and death, with some ghosts and hookers thrown in for good measure. It was produced in a limited edition, numbered set, but has not been released digitally.
The Seventh is a story of love. It is no more and no less twisted than any story of genuine love can be, and is therefore filled to the brim with lust, betrayal, hope and perhaps even a touch of remorse. Or maybe more.
