From cultural icon Margaret Atwood comes a brilliant collection of essays - funny, erudite, endlessly curious, uncannily prescient - which seek answers to burning questions. In over 50 pieces Atwood aims her prodigious intellect and impish humour at the world, and reports back to us on what she finds. This roller-coaster period brought the end of history, a financial crash, the rise of Trump, and a pandemic.

My name is Tink, better known as Tinkerbell. I’ve been left isolated on "Death Isle" with only a crocodile shifter named Zegar for company. Life on the island is lonely and difficult, but the only thing that keeps me going are the many tales Zegar spins about Peter Pan and his misfit crew of Lost Boys.

Following her "marvelous" (Wall Street Journal) first novel, Caitlin Horrocks returns with a much-anticipated collection of short stories. In her signature, genre-defying style, she explodes our notions of what a story can do and where it can take us.

He was hotter than hell and one hundred percent off-limits. Tall, built, and powerful as the star wide receiver of their university’s football team - Cole was the whole package that every girl wanted.

For one, I promised my brother I’d never jeopardize their friendship by getting between them.

He was the epitome of trouble, and I was drawn right to the center of it. My brother told me to stay away from him. So did Cole. But, they were both gone. I wanted to listen to their warnings, but they didn’t know what it was like to be alone every day, every week again. How every part of me ached for more. I was tired of being the good girl.
