taQ'Lut Press presents "Spira Mirabilis: Fantastic Tales from the Marvelous Spiral", a lauded collection of eight thematically linked fantasy, horror, and science fiction short stories and novelettes, written by Ralph Sevush and illustrated by Susan Kaufman.
"Spira Mirabilis", Latin for "miraculous" or "marvelous" spiral, is the name given by mathematician Jakob Bernoulli to the logarithmic curve with a uniquely "miraculous" quality: though the size of the spiral increases, its shape remains unchanged by each successive curve. As a result, the Spira Mirabilis has evolved in nature, appearing in certain forms such as the arms of spiral galaxies.
According to the author, "myths arise in different contexts throughout human history. They expand and evolve, yet, like the Spira Mirabilis, they remain essentially the same. And this is likely so because WE remain essentially the same, give or take a millennium.
Violent, funny, poignant and romantic, in varying proportions, these tales are also about the act of telling the story, and the storyteller, too.
"... Sevush leads readers on an imaginative tour of pulp genres and popular mythology. Overall, these stories are grand, world-building genre pieces condensed into a few pages each, and Sevush displays great facility with the rhythm and lexicon of the various styles he assays. A rollicking, good-spirited ride..." - Kirkus Reviews
"These astonishing stories are as funny, lyrical and literary as they are original, big-hearted and human. It's as if some mad scientist has taken parts of Ray Bradbury, Neil Gaiman, Mickey Spillane, Ursula Le Guin and Edgar Allan Poe, and sewn them all together to create something magnificent and wholly original." -- David Lindsay-Abaire, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, librettist, lyricist and screenwriter (Rabbit Hole, Shrek the Musical)
"This remarkable collection highlights a voice that will remind you why you fell in love with science fiction in the first place. From the gritty characters to the landscapes they inhabit, Ralph Sevush is a true "world builder," calling on well-known tropes and upending them with his own clever imagination. One of my favorite pieces of genre fiction I've read this year... truly marvelous " -- Qui Nguyen, Playwright (Vietgone, She Fights Monsters), and Artistic Director of the off-Broadway theater company, Vampire Cowboys
"Masterfully careening from fantasy to horror to science fiction, this memorable collection boasts sly references from Gilgamesh to Superman, but like all great storytellers, his literary prowess is always in service to his ultimate quest: to illuminate the human heart." -- Doug Wright, Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, librettist and screenwriter (I Am My Own Wife, Grey Gardens, Little Mermaid)
"Ralph Sevush's terrifically entertaining tales live somewhere between the classic pulp fiction of SF's Golden Age and the 21st-century cutting edge of Gaiman and Gibson... smart, startling and memorable." -- David Auburn, Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and screenwriter (Proof, The Columnist)
"9/10 rating... That's some good stuff right there...not a bad story in the bunch and some of them] still resonate. Recommended." -- David L. Felts, SFReader.Com

A major survey of Dame Laura Knight, first female Royal Academician and popular British artist of the 20th century.
Laura Knight (1877-1970) was one of the most famous and popular English artists of the twentieth century. She was the first woman to have a solo exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts, in 1965. In the following decades her realist style of painting fell out of fashion and her work become largely overlooked. A new generation has rediscovered her work, finding a contemporary resonance in her depictions of women at work, of people from marginalized communities and her contributions as a war artist. This beautifully illustrated book, which accompanies a major exhibition at MK Gallery, provides an overview of Knight's illustrious career: from her training at Nottingham Art School at the age of 13 and her time in North Yorkshire and Cornwall, to her visits to traveller communities and a segregated American hospital. It also features her circus, ballet and theatre scenes, paintings of women during the war and her late paintings of nature. The selection of over 160 works combines celebrated paintings with less known graphic and design works, including ceramics, jewellery and costumes that reflect the artist's enduring interest in the everyday activities of people from all walks of life.
