A chimpanzee is stolen from Cameroon and rocketed to space as the test flight for John Glenn's historic orbit; a former child star struggles to stay sober; a prehistoric mammal imagines a better version of itself; a trio of ragpickers strip Union and Confederate dead of their clothes; a couple sees the woods move; the former commissaire of the French Congo investigates atrocities. Eclectic in its breadth and startling in its power, The Commission of Inquiry investigates life, death, and other matters, as Patrick Nevins delivers twenty stories built to surprise, challenge, and even change us.

There's a 200-mile long traffic jam on I-94, and people are going to be stuck there for days. Maybe weeks. Told in striking, kinetic flashes, Brett Biebel's Gridlock explores the event, its origins in American political, athletic, and romantic institutions, and its impact on all the individual lives that go on in its shadow. Four roommates order a Japanese sex robot. A man designs a book review algorithm. Sentient pitching machines debate life, death, and violence, and bags of deli ham fly across trashy grocery store parking lots as the cars idle. Day in and day out. Their gears grinding down to nothing, or, well. Maybe it's something after all.

A boy attends summer camp where campers are tasked with managing their own flocks of sheep; a set of brothers kidnap their father's prized pet buffalo; a young man travels the country with his mother, a peripatetic professor who has pioneered a radical service-learning curriculum; an unemployed man attempts to teach himself to beat a polygraph test. In The Machine We Trust, Tim Conrad's narrators and characters come of age in a surreal American landscape-sometimes late, sometimes unsuccessfully. With exacting prose that searches and clutches, Conrad exposes the cracks where hearts are broken, and redemption is just one chance away.

Set within a speculative geography that is and is not Utah's past, present, and future, the panoramic collage of stories and flash fictions in Salt Folk explore the eco-fabulist environs of the American West at the intersections of history and myth. The Yeti, recently deported from the Himalayas, finds himself in a Mormon retirement community. A glacier grows in the toxic valley left behind by the evaporated Great Salt Lake. A librarian collects the residue of a decayed rainbow on the outskirts of Salt Lake City. Melancholically absurd, the salty women and foolhardy men in Ryan Habermeyer's reimagined American West confront catastrophes large and small, magical and mundane, with grotesque optimism and quixotic tenderness.

"I saved my daughter. But how do I save myself? I did what I had to d kill my girl? I will end you faster than you can say have mercy. Sure I broke a cardinal pack rule, which will get me executed by my mate. If they find out. If they find me. Saved from capture by Zane, the sexiest of sexy werewolves, my rescue comes with a price. Zane wants a favor, one that could cause an all-out pack war. The last thing I need is to make more enemies, but lives are at stake if I don't make a stand. Not only that, but I have a secret. An impossible secret that is going to turn the entire werewolf world upside down."--

Walldogs were artists who painted external signs and murals used as advertisements throughout the United States in the 1890s through the mid-1900s. These artists were known for working like "dogs" through the heat of the summer, sometimes in very dangerous conditions. This book is dedicated to walldogs everywhere, past and present.Two earthquakes that rocked the Northern California city of Santa Rosa in 1969 required the demolition of a building that the jolts had rendered unsafe. Removal of that building revealed a hidden surprise: old but remarkably well-preserved advertising art that embellished the newly exposed wall of the adjoining building - the one shown on the cover of this book.That revelation triggered Robert Olson's interest in learning more about this vintage art and its history, and set him off on a journey of discovery that has spanned many years since. During the course of his travels and ad hoc field research, Olson located an elderly man (Caleb Whitbeck) who had been a "walldog" artist - a sign painter. Noting that this bit of Americana had been overlooked as an art form, he introduced the author to the fraternal society of "Walldoggers," who painted ads on building walls to sell products and services of the day. This compilation is dedicated to those sign painters.Intended to show examples of walldog art, this book presents only about half of the photos from Olson's collection. Pictures were often hard to get because of distance, narrow alleys, traffic, access difficulties, and limitations due to his camera and photographic skills.He also sprinkled this book with some non-walldog signs, such as early neon signs, and interesting modern-day murals.
