Gloria, meet Stephen. He's your dead brother's best friend. He's also a liar, and he doesn't want to hand over your brother's belongings. He's got a hair collection, and he's got somebody's teeth hidden in a drawer. An inconvenient spider's going to play a crucial part in your relationship. Oh yes, and someone - God knows who - is sending him letters claiming it's his fault Max is dead. Stephen, meet Gloria. She's not good with people. She wants you to hand over all Max's most precious stuff. She likes to steal things, she gate-crashes funerals, she's going to force you to revisit some of the most painful moments in your life. And she doesn't know who's writing the weird letters you're getting, but she tends to agree - she thinks it might be your fault her brother killed himself. Oh yes, and it's down to her that you're going to wind up in hospital, and all over the papers. Well, the Scarborough papers anyway. On the plus side - you might get to sleep with her. You're going to be together for one strange, eventful and occasionally horrifying week so ... good luck.

A mix of memoir and narrative non-fiction, White Spines is a book about Nicholas Royle's passion for Picador's fiction publishing from the 1970s to the end of the 1990s.

A tenth anniversary edition of Chris Emery's black comedy debut, Dr. Mephisto, made simultaneously available in print and electronic form. Flamboyant, funny, poignant and excessive, Emery's modernist work is a picaresque, historical road show of hell from the brink of the 21st Century.

Emery's new book presents a dazzling array of voices: art dealers, TV stars, killers, cowboys, poets, coat check boys, checkout girls, composers, priests, gods, angels, winners, losers, lovers, the newly born and the dearly departed.

This anthology furthers this braiding with the work of four emerging Pacific islander women poets from Guam, Hawai'i, and Fiji. Despite their distant origins, all these writers explore culture, history, politics, genealogy, feminism, and the environment. They each have their own unique style, ranging from the lyric to the avant-garde.

In stories that are laugh-out-loud funny, cringingly weird and desperately sad, Gaffney introduces the possibility of momentary actions that change everything; a swimming man sees a hundred glass eyes at the bottom of a river; and a comedian decides to express himself through the medium of smell.

In the house where Marie lives, the cutlery is running wild ... Madness and fairy-story creep hand in hand in this darkly comic tale, where the mice learn the art of voodoo; where murdered bodies miraculously vanish; where the grandmother is sometimes an owl and where steak-knives grow so hungry that they scream.

Cuckoo Rock creates a magical, elemental, questioning journey in search of a lost tomorrow through fire, earth, air and water meeting lots of wonderful knockabout musical characters on the way in poetry that is various, heartfelt, witty, skilfully rhymed and beautifully rhythmic.

This is a book of very accessible, crafted poetry for children of seven years old and upwards, with a balance of rhyming poems and non-rhyming poems, amusing poems and serious poems. It ranges from pieces about animals and nature to poems about space, school, and family. It includes some nonsense and riddles, and two long story poems.

Storm Warning explores the echoes and aftershocks of human conflict in a series of powerful stories in which the characters are tested, sometimes to breaking point. Gebbie pulls no punches, exploring the after-effects of atrocity and sometimes, the seeds of atrocity itself.

Succinct in length and vast in imagination, Gaffney's micro stories are bizarre and witty slices of condensed reality. Frequently hilarious and often poignant, they leave an after taste that is resonant, dark and clingy. They sometimes seem to glow from the inside with their own awful secrets.

Next to Nothing records the years following the death of a beloved child in 2001. Though bereft of belief in the poetic outcome compared to the apocalypse of the loss itself (one sense of the title), the fidelity of these poems to the "heartscapes" of grief constitutes, nonetheless, a work of genuine honouring - spare, delicate, and deeply moving.

Zoo is Tobias Hill's third collection of poems. It shows the growing maturity of a voice already distinctive three years ago, when his first collection was noted for its 'grand irony and playful humour, with episodes of tenderness and even charm'.

What is the link between Rupert Brooke, Virginia Woolf, Maynard Keynes and the RSC? Answer: the Marlowe Society. The Marlowe Story reveals for the first time how this Society was the way in which the Bloomsbury Group began to influence British theatre in 1907, an influence that continues until today.

Hutchison is a "poet's poet" who has been setting standards outside the mainstream, but is now attracting a broader audience too. Scales Dog is a book which ranges widely with invention and delight. It is distinctively Scottish in some respects - but the appeal is international. It has depth and humour to carry its readers all the way through.

Mangeot's characters face complex situations or decisions that define the nature of what it means to be human: our capacity for good, evil, strength and weakness. His writing shifts effortlessly between haunting, poetic rhythms and fast, sharp-edged dialogue.

A new selection of Rodolfo Alonso's poetry, translated into English for the first time.

Radio Nostalgia uses a range of personas and historical locations to examine our sense of community and what our lives can mean.

A collection of essays predominantly concerned with modern poetry, with problems of translating poetry, and with the relationship between poetry and philosophy. There is also some material dealing with music, the visual arts and religious belief.

Humour, magic and an engaging seriousness combine to make All the Frogs a must for the poetry bookshelf. Charles Causley has described John Mole's writing for children as 'the work of a true poet' and the anthologist Anne Harvey, reviewing an earlier collection in 'The Guardian' wrote 'A new John Mole collection is good news!'

Justine is a painting, a doppelganger and a woman of beguiling beauty. Set in contemporary London, Justine is a story of a man's obsession with a woman - or is it two women? For Justine has a twin sister Juliette, and as the story unfolds, the opium-dazed narrator becomes increasingly unsure as to the identity of the woman he desires.

Fourth collection from award-winning poet Luke Kennard departs from previous outings in its scale and range while retaining his trademark wit and humour.

Schedule of Unrest selects from John Wilkinson's collections of poetry published from 1974 to 2008. A growing readership is seeking ways into an impassioned and beautiful body of writing. The unfamiliarity of its surfaces and soundscapes have too long delayed its appreciation.

The Mystic and The Pig Thief is, in part, an elegy. It is also a book about the pain of being imperfectly assimilated, a book about being torn between the culture you come from and the society you're obliged to live in; a book about being pulled both ways while belonging to neither camp.

A generous selection of work by Miodrag Pavlovic. He is the third of the Serbian triumvirate of Popa, Lalic and Pavlovic which transformed Serb poetry in the 1950s. Pavlovic has been translated and published in English in book form and in pamphlets in Canada, but never before in from a British publisher.

Complete Twentieth Century Blues is the definitive edition of a network of texts written and assembled as a time-based project between 1989 and the end of the last century. At its heart is an alternative history of the twentieth century. This long-awaited volume is revised throughout, fully indexed, and with many previously unpublished texts.
