A Jump in the Dark by James Pate
That summer, Paul and Suzie would drink during the day, watching old movies on TCM and talking about their favorite actors and directors. And they would drink at night, having a few Jim Beam-and-cokes before stumbling out to The Lampshade, the bar a few blocks from their gray-brick duplex. Paul had lost his job as a cashier months before, when the manager of the Kroger’s near downtown Memphis…

In a world of dismaying and oppressive absolutes, James Pate traces the political urgency of the Gothic in Flowers Among the Carrion: “There is nothing escapist about dreams: instead, they are a currency in our waking world, with their own explosive economies.” Our Carrion Flowers Winter Sale offers three explosively dreaming titles. Valerie Hsuing’s efg: a trilogy is radiantly centrifugal, an acute and total pushback against the forces of “naturacide” and extinguishment. French Moroccan writer Farid Tali’s Prosopopoeia (trans. Aditi Machado) trains its illicitly sensuous attention on multiple illicit bodies: the corpse of a brother who has died of AIDS, the immigrant’s body, the Muslim body, the queer body. Together, efg and Prosopopoeia form a virtual system where would-be opposites overlap and coincide: ecstatic and dismayed, ornate and buoyant, grief-stricken and turned-on. Such impossible states are well-described in the essays of Pate’s book. In the interest of sharing these three important works as widely as possible, this sale includes all three books, a $42 value, for $25. (Only for a limited time.)

Rick pulled the trigger. Steven sat in the driver’s seat, at the ready. As soon as he saw the groom collapse into the arms of the bride, he pressed his foot hard on the gas pedal, tearing down the empty…
