What SIBA Booksellers have to say:

The Werewolf at Dusk: And Other Stories by David Small
David Small's illustrations give life to three short stories about age, identity, and metamorphosis in the vein of Franz Kafka and Alfred Hitchcock. The illustration is dreamlike; and although the stories are short, they are abundant with depth.
– Isabel Agajanian from Oxford Exchange in Tampa, Florida

The Other Side of Disappearing by Kate Clayborn
This is a poignant story about family and all the ways those closest to you can do the most harm. A sweet story of finding family through love.
– Jackie Willey from Fiction Addiction in Greenville, South Carolina

Rabbit Heart: A Mother's Murder, a Daughter's Story by Kristine S. Ervin
Books like this give me hope that beauty can truly overcome even the direst of circumstances. How proud her mother would be of her for pulling together such a triumph of a book: to honor memories of the before, to allow space to heal, and to give voice and power back to those who deserve it.
– Alissa Redmond from South Main Book Company in Salisbury, North Carolina

Like Happiness by Ursula Villarreal-Moura
A searing debut that deftly explores the effects of an unhealthy relationship between a predatory male writer and a young woman on the cusp of adulthood.
– Maggie Robe from Flyleaf Books in Chapel Hill, North Carolina

James by Percival Everett
A necessary look into the life of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn's Jim, or James, told with Percival Everett's unflinching, poetic, and entertaining prose.
– James Harrod from Malaprop's in Asheville, North Carolina
