Last Call at the Nightshade LoungeA Novel
by Paul Krueger
College grad Bailey Chen has all of the usual new-adult demons: no cash, no job offers, and a rocky relationship with Zane, the only friend still around when she moves back home. But her demons become a lot more literal when Zane introduces Bailey to his cadre of monster-fighting bartenders. It turns out supernatural creatures are stalking the streets of Chicago, and they can be hunted only with the help of magically mixed cocktails: vodka grants super-strength, whiskey offers the power of telekinesis, and tequila lets its drinker fire blasts of elemental energy. But will these supernatural powers be enough for Bailey and a ragtag band of mixologists to halt a mysterious rash of gruesome deaths? Includes 13 cocktail recipes from an ancient book of cocktail lore.
PAUL KRUEGER is a fantasy writer and cocktail connoisseur whose work has appeared in the Sword & Laser anthology. He lives in Los Angeles.

Kid ArtistsTrue Tales of Childhood from Creative Legends
BECAUSE EVERY ARTIST STARTED OUT AS A KID.
by David Stabler illustrated by Doogie Horner
The series that began with Kid Presidents and Kid Athletes has a new volume that chronicles the childhoods of 16 celebrated artists—everyone from Claude Monet and Vincent van Gogh to Mary Cassat, Frida Kahlo, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and even Dr. Seuss! Readers will learn:
• Georgia O’Keeffe was so enthralled by nature that she once ate dirt just to see what it tasted like.
• Jackson Pollock lost the top of his right index finger in a childhood accident (and the severed tip was eaten by a rooster!).
• Andy Warhol’s favorite childhood lunch was—what else?—a bowl of Campbell’s tomato soup.
Every scribble, sketch, and sticky situation comes to life in these kid-friendly and relatable stories, all with Doogie Horner’s trademark whimsical illustrations. Kid Artists is a delight for budding artists and eager readers alike.
DAVID STABLER and DOOGIE HORNER previously collaborated on Kid Athletes (Quirk, 2015) and Kid Presidents (Quirk, 2014). Both live in New York City.
