Tequio in Mexico, auzolan in Basque Country, lumbung in Indonesia,
ubuntu in South Africa, mutirao in Brazil - all terms used around
the world to describe the concept of collective work. Bringing
together 8 publishing houses and 7 writers, each writing in a
different language, Lumbung Stories is a true product of communal
action. From speculative essays and experimental texts to intimate
stories that portray collective work as something every day and
habitual, each writer presents their unique take on what a "lumbung
story" is. These tales take us from olive groves in Andalusia to
tiger-filled forests in Indonesia; from youths fumbling through
adolescence together in the Basque country, to outsiders uniting
through vibrant rituals in Sao Paulo, and from explorations of
intergenerational and transhistorical struggle in South Africa, to
an academic text from a society rebuilding in a post-Capitalist,
post-climate-crisis future. Blurring the lines between realism and
fiction, the past and the future, this unique and powerful
collection brims with life and is a vital reminder of the ties that
unite us all.

Harry Gilmore has no idea of the terrible danger he faces when he
meets a beautiful girl in a local student bar. Drugged and
abducted, Harry wakes up in a secure wooden compound deep in the
Welsh countryside, where he is groomed by the leaders of a
manipulative cult, run by the self-proclaimed new messiah known as
The Master. When the true nature of the cult becomes apparent,
Harry looks for any opportunity to escape. But as time passes, he
questions if The Master's extreme behavior and teachings are the
one true religion. With Harry's life hanging by a thread, a team of
officers, led by Detective Inspector Laura Kesey, investigate his
disappearance. But will they find him before it's too late?
*Previously published as The Girl in White*
A graphic novel by a lifelong motorcycle club member, inspired
by the secrets of one percenters.
Phil Cross has been a Hells Angel for over 40 years. In the
world of outlaw motorcycle clubs, there are many stories that can't
be told, for a variety of reasons, but they have spurred Phil's
imagination to create a fictional story inspired by real
events.
One-percenter antiheroes populate these pagesa tougher and
wilder than any character ever played by Dennis Hopper, Peter
Fonda, or Marlon Brando. The guys in the tales Phil spins might
remind you of Easy Rider and The Wild One, but the hard glint in
their eyes proves that they are based on the real deal.
Illustrator Ronn Sutton provides stunning visuals to bring
Phil's stories to life. These bikers aren't going to ride off into
the sunset any time soon."

diamond in the rough who can help him achieve his dream. That's when he
sets his sights on Seishiro Nagi, a notorious slacker whose quick
reflexes are the only hint of athletic ability. Can Reo find the switch
to awaken the beast inside Nagi?
A nerd must fight powerful spirits and aliens all vying for the
secret power of his "family jewel," so who better to fight
alongside him than his high school crush and a spirit granny?! Momo
Ayase and Okarun are on opposite sides of the paranormal spectrum
regarding what they'll believe in and what they won't. Their quest
to prove each other wrong leads them down a path of secret crushes
and paranormal battles they'll have to participate in to believe!
Okarun, a high school boy obsessed with supernatural phenomena, is

crab, has other plans!
The journey to 100 friends begins with a single conversation.
Socially anxious high school student Shoko Komi's greatest dream is
to make some friends, but everyone at school mistakes her crippling
social anxiety for cool reserve! Luckily she meets Tadano, a timid
wallflower who decides to step out of his comfort zone in order to
help her achieve her goal of making 100 friends. Komi's family is
hosting a guest, and the standoffish Rei is really putting Komi's
friendship skills to the test! But Komi sees a bit of her old
loneliness in the child and won't give up on making a connection,
even if she has to chase Rei all over town to do it!
"A face looked into mine, and, in front of me, were those dreadful
eyes. Then, whether I was dead or living, I said to myself that
this could be nothing human, -nothing fashioned in God's image
could wear such a shape as that. Fingers were pressed into my
cheeks, they were thrust into my mouth, they touched my staring
eyes, shut my eyelids, then opened them again, and-horror of
horrors -the blubber lips were pressed to mine-the soul of
something evil entered into me in the guise of a kiss."
