Jonas Patrick Marvin safely detonates his tome of socialist history in Bookhaus; The Breaking of The English Working Class is a radical revision of our impossibly fractured class consciousness at a time when we might need it the most. It's a tale of successive political betrayals, exploitation, dissolution, but ultimate one of hope, dignity and uprising.

The feel-good alternative to the skip and the shopping centre, or just another stop on the conveyor belt? Tansy E. Hoskins’ Charity Shop World delivers a reality check on the afterlife of your donated wares, interweaving far-reaching research into overconsumption with her personal experiences of the shop floor. A fascinating unpacking of consumer culture and community!

Actor, playwright and novelist extraordinaire, Emily Woof presents her unexpected pivot to the world of speculative sci-fi!
