Story
The Layers is the debut novel from Stephen Reynolds, exploring how our identity is shaped by our relationships. The anonymous protagonist recounts his life story, showing us how the people he has loved - his parents, sister, grandfather, best friend, and partner - have all helped to form who he is. He is a different version of himself with each loved one, versions which combine to make up a whole person. However, as the book goes on and the protagonist starts to lose grip of people around him, he begins to wonder who he really is without them.

Story
A tragic yet humorous coming-of-age story, The Negligents plots the flailing friendship between Polina and Grace and their troubled families. The fascinating intricacies of their lives are seen from multiple viewpoints as an interwoven series of scenes unfold, but who is telling the truth, and who has secrets yet to reveal? Author Kate Smith uses the framework of a legal negligence claim to explore the nature of friendship, of family loyalty, and how a simple act of carelessness can have deeply toxic consequences.

In January 2011, aged 21, Tom Preston was diagnosed with stage four advanced aggressive lymphoma. His chances of survival were optimistically placed at around 40 percent. This short, autobiographical work tells the story of the fight in the months that followed - but this is no ordinary cancer memoir.

Story
Seahouses is the first collection of poetry from cultural historian Richard Barnett. Those familiar with Barnett’s non-fiction will be unsurprised to discover he is also a formidable poet, with a distinctly English approach that is at once fluid, precise, cynical, and tender. Not a single word in this volume is wasted; least of all in the award-winning title sequence, where the sea sifts and rolls through the dreams of an old man asleep in a deckchair, conjuring a vision of history, and our human crossings.

Story
What does motherhood mean to someone who was taken from their mother? What does "blackness" mean to someone deprived of their culture? And how does someone reassemble themselves after being torn apart by racist and relationship abuse? Lioness brings together the broken pieces of a life lived always as "other", celebrating the cracks and fissures in the same way that the Japanese art of kintsugi honours a damaged pot with gold lacquer, transforming its imperfections and fractures into strength, beauty, and truth.

Story
In Quantum Theory for Cats, York-based poet and ghost-trail guide Ian Stuart ably chaperones us through the winding snickelways between bitter beauty and sweet ugliness. After hearing from both of Schrödinger's pets, we witness spontaneous tears in a bookshop, watch an ambulance arrive through a crack in the curtains, then spend time with saints, artists, doppelgangers, and the unborn.

Wherever We Are When We Come to the End

Story
Spring 1916: Ludwig Wittgenstein is on his way to the Eastern Front. Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico Philosophicus, the terse, gnomic masterpiece of modern philosophy, is also a war poem. Wherever We Are When We Come to the End digs into the form and the language of the Tractatus, following Wittgenstein through the war and his own conflicts with words and silence, violence and grief, time and eternity. The result is a highly original formal experiment and a poetic fantasia on logic, love, and war.

Story
Janina Reston is a language expert, translating fiendishly tricky Arabic and Asian mathematical and scientific texts. Words are her world. But she can’t find any to share with her husband Owen. Instead, she confides in a spider named Gladys (who may or may not be her deceased grandmother). She lives in an ordinary city suburb where extraordinary things happen. Lily’s husband dies in a strange accident with a milk bottle, while Fatima writes biographies of unknown people living seemingly inconsequential lives, and Zosia runs off to Delhi with an Asian Women’s Sewing Group.
