A banner shows the little ghosts logo and says “Little Ghosts Book Club Presents GREEN FUSE BURNING by Tiffany Morris Friday March 20 6-8pm”

The back cover description of the book… The debut novella from the Elgin Award winning author of Elegies of Rotting Stars. After the death of her estranged father, artist Rita struggles with grief and regret. There was so much she wanted to ask him-about his childhood, their family, and the Mi'kmaq language and culture from which Rita feels disconnected. But when Rita's girlfriend Molly forges an artist's residency application on her behalf, winning Rita a week to paint at an isolated cabin, Rita is both furious and intrigued. The residency is located where her father grew up. On the first night at the cabin, Rita wakes to strange sounds. Was that a body being dragged through the woods? When she questions the locals about the cabin's history, they are suspicious and unhelpful. Ignoring her unease, Rita gives in to dark visions that emanate from the forest's lake and the surrounding swamp. She feels its pull, channelling that energy into art like she's never painted before. But the uncanny visions become more insistent, more intrusive, and Rita discovers that in the swamp's decay the end of one life is sometimes the beginning of another.

Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman

A very happy welcome back to bookstores to maybe the best grimdark medieval horror ever

"No one would want to make a statue immortalizing that. And if the arts cuts go through, maybe no artists would be left to make one anyway."

Might've gone too hard with my letter to the premier:
"No one would want to celebrate a man who traded Nova Scotia’s vibrant and multi-faceted arts and publishing culture for vague promises..."

Instead of hate reading some nonsense essay about gender by some very hateable fella, you could read my book full of essays that are also about gender, and labour, and death, and addiction, and music, but in a much more curious and much more fun way

Thanks for featuring Misplaced! And in such excellent company with Five Seasons of Charlie Francis ✨ Small presses rule!

Book covers for: Misplaced by Brittni Brinn (Little Ghosts Books): In an alternate reality where body parts are as easily changed as clothing, what happens when things go missing? Nan chases down a stranger to return a missing mouth and finds themselves in the coat-strewn apartment of a makeshift family: Jessica, a charismatic older woman, her adopted son Adam, and Reena, the icy-eyed enigma Nan does their best to avoid. As rumours of stolen parts and illegal brain tampering hang over the city, Nan and Jessica investigate the origin of the disembodied fingers left at their doorstep. The more they uncover, the more Nan realizes that their body and their memories might not be their own- and Reena's mysterious past may be the key. Will Nan be able to figure out which bits of themselves to trust, or will it all go to pieces? https://www.littleghostsbooks.com/product/misplaced/2296 Five Seasons of Charlie Francis by Danica Roache (Vagrant Press): Charlie Francis's five-year plan has gone to shit. She was supposed to greet the new millennium by diving head-first into a master's degree, but her thesis has ground to a halt, Y2K was a bust, her rambunctious family and claustrophobic hometown are driving her around the bend, and the maybe-love-of-her-life, Adam, keeps joking about her moving home to marry him and have his babies. When she unexpectedly becomes pregnant, she has to navigate being a (mostly) single mother on top of everything else. Charlie finds herself at a crossroads. Maybe it's time for a new five-year plan. https://nimbus.ca/store/five-seasons-of-charlie-francis.html

Unacceptable!

While all these cuts are horrifying, I want to be clear that, at the moment, these are PROPOSED cuts. There’s still time to your voice heard. Call or email your MLA. Call or email Tim Houston’s office. Call or email the Ministers related to the cuts you’re most angry about. See below for contacts.

YOU WAKE UP COLD IN YOUR $3000/MONTH BACHELOR APARTMENT. IT'S LIGHTLY RAINING SO YOUR POWER IS OUT. YOU'RE SICK BUT WILL NEVER HAVE A FAMILY DOCTOR. YOU SKIP BREAKFAST BECAUSE YOU CAN'T AFFORD GROCERIES. YOU PUT HIKING BOOTS ON SO YOU DON'T FALL ON THE UNPAVED SIDEWALKS. YOU MOVE PAST THE 30 MINUTE WAIT FOR THE 15 MINUTE BUS AS STUDENTS WALK BY WHO CAN NO LONGER TAKE IT. IN FRONT OF THE CLOSED MUSEUM IS A PARKED CAR DESTROYED BY A POTHOLE. A TENT CITY WHERE UNHOUSED PEOPLE ARE GETTING READY FOR WORK IS BEING HARASSED BY POLICE. YOU ARRIVE AT THE HOSPITAL AND PREPARE FOR YOUR 27 HOUR WAIT, THINKING ABOUT ALL THE THINGS YOU MISS IN HALIFAX.

i’m tired, boss

I just got confirmation that Tim Houston’s PCs cut the entire Writers in the Schools program.

This man is cutting a program that lets children meet and learn from local authors (among many many other things) so he can spend $5 million teaching civil servants to use AI.

I cannot despair

I have to keep onward and we all must keep onward and pour our hearts out and do our good work so someday there is an end to this where all the wronged peoples of the world are victorious and relieved and the next generation is rejoicing and all the tyrants are ashes they dance in.

Today was supposed to be an intensive research/ writing day.
Instead, I spent the first part of it writing a letter to my premier and MLA to protest the govt's short-sighted and poorly-informed cuts to arts, culture, and heritage.

Rally next Wed, March 4 at noon at Province House. See you there.

If you come across sidewalks that are not traversable, too narrow, or covered in ice, please let the city know. It feels like a losing battle calling 311, but if enough of us complain, maybe some walkways that weren't accessible before will be fixed.
