Fretless: From City to Adventure
“Abundant, maximalist, verbose; The first novel of the poet and publisher Stéphane Despatie is driven by similar inveterate ambitions to bring together under one cover all the musical, literary and philosophical works dear to the heart of the writer and passionate music lover,” writes our journalist Dominic Tardif.

“With The Cookies of the Apocalypse, author Annie Du experiments with a unique form that bridges the gap between essay and autofiction and proves to be a clever vehicle for transporting the reader into her psyche,” writes our journalist Audrey-Anne Blais.
Death in Perspective: Serial Murders in Ontario
“Ontario Inspector MacNeice has become one of the heroes we like to find in thrillers. “With this fourth volume in the series, the man whom the police officers in the (fictional) town of Dundurn, not far from Toronto, call the “Wayne Gretzky of serious criminals,” stands in front of a highly unusual crime scene,” writes our journalist Laila Maalouf.
