Ékleipsis is a debut short story collection written by Canadian author Tamel Wino, with hints of Chuck Palahniuk’s and Cormac McCarthy’s stripped, vivid writing styles. This gripping book explores the havoc wreaked when ordinary people abandon their humanity to pursue their darkest desires, and questions just how far people will go to follow their baser instincts.

Each story takes a version of a person we’ve known in our own lives and transforms them into something completely unnerving—yet all too familiar.

These dark, complex characters and twisted tales of the once ordinary will change your perception of humanity forever.

The sixties aren’t just a bad memory in the tenth riveting installment of Dennis Carstens’s Marc Kadella legal thriller mystery series. Professor Ben Sokol is exactly as you’d image him: a single, fifty-something-year-old history teacher, schooled in radical anti-Reagan pacifism of the 80s, an underappreciated, self-believing genius—with a dose of rage bubbling just beneath the surface.

Seemingly taking a page out of A People’s History of the United States, Ben gives an out-of-left-field lecture pronouncing that capitalism itself caused the Great Depression, landing him in the driver’s seat he’s always dreamed of: the darling of the impressionable Midwest State-Minnesota University student body and High Priest of the Left. In an unlikely coincidence, hotshot attorney Marc Kadella’s acrimonious divorce case is tied to a series of bank heists staged by student activists run amok.
