“Listen now. The song is starting over. And we’re driving to a party in the East Village with the radio on. And for a single moment we’re not worried about what happens to all of us in the end. Because for right now we’re all driving through the beautiful city, and we have rock ’n’ roll in our hearts. So turn it up Gian, and let us ride.” —Fights!

The Sarah Book is Scott McClanahan’s cripplingly honest novel about marriage, parenthood, addiction and the story that weaves together all the elements in-between.

Raw, tender, funny, and devastating.

On The Sarah Book:

"Scott McClanahan's The Sarah Book is a furious exhalation of love and hurt and hate and tenderness and anger. This is a chronicle of a couple coming together and breaking apart. There is courage in these pages because so much of what McClanahan details is ugly and desperate and raw--everything, food, drink, love, heartbreak, to excess. The writing is so intimate you want to reach into the book to save this man from himself but you can't. That impossibility is what makes this book so memorable, so powerful."

— Roxanne Gay

McClanahan shows us the dents and scrapes and breakdowns of a man trying to be to a husband and father while at the same time sabotaging the very things he loves. Unnerving but remarkable.” –Willy Vlautin, The Motel Life

Wrongness
Ruth Novaczek
Released 13th April 2026
£12.00 + Shipping

“Ruth Novaczek has written one of the great documents of the brutal, roller-coaster inner experience in the aftermath of intimacy. This auto-fiction novella - written largely in letters to the void - invites you feel lonely, connected, jealous, confused, obsessed and loved.”

— Francesca Gavin

A semi-epistolary novella charting the sudden act of falling in love, a break-up and eventual breakdown of a lesbian intergenerational affair. Using fragmented narrative, combining unsent letters to an ex, reflections on sessions with a psychotherapist, and daily life experience of its characters, Wrongness is an interrogation of love and its collapse. Part detective story, part love letter, part confession, part lament, Wrongness explores the problematics of same-sex relationships, dysfunctional Jewish families and cross-generational dynamics.

—

On Wrongness:

“Ruth Novaczek’s brilliant and forensic account of a love affair gone wrong begins and briefly lives in a dazzling rapture that ends slowly in an agonizing unravelling... Is That All There Is? A tour de force of heartbreak, Wrongness moves between accounting for the daily wrongnesses of a protracted breakup to a grappling with all the larger wrongs.”

— Chris Kraus

“Wrongness is a lesbian Death in Venice.
Every time you went home to your mother you came back loving me less: A romance told through surfaces, flashes of ecstasy and glamour, and glimmers of contempt that bloom into all-out cruelty, pathos, grim rites of mutually malevolent armchair psychoanalysis. A meditation on survival.

On Honk:

— Andy Bell (Oasis, Ride)

“Renegade word-smith and master of machine gun prose... the maverick’s maverick.”

— John Robb (Louder Than War)

“Belowsky should change his name by deed poll to Abovesky - that is where his poems are.”

— Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs (Oasis)

“Belowsky is a force of Nature.”

— Alan McGee (Creation Records)
