From Dinah Brooke, the “brilliant forgotten novelist” behind the “ferocious” Lord Jim at Home (The Telegraph) comes Love Life of a Cheltenham Lady, a searing tale of a young woman’s unravelling beneath the unforgiving Tuscan sun.
New arrivals from @mcnallyeditions.com #literatureintranslation @bookbeat.bsky.social
Todd Grimson's Stainless is available now on our website and everywhere books are sold.
In a league with the best of James Ellroy and Raymond Chandler—and closing the coffin for good on poor old Bram Stoker—Stainless is the final word on fangs, hangovers, and heartbreak.
Thereafter Johnnie by Carolivia Herron is now available on our website, in McNally Jackson stores, and everywhere books are sold.
By turns a poetic epic, a ghost story, a historical saga, and a chilling dystopian fable, Carolivia Herron’s Thereafter Johnnie is a unique and uniquely American fusion of myth and hard-bitten reality an erotic, horrifying, and even hopeful reckoning with centuries of injustice.
Readers in the DMV! Join us at @peoplesbooktakoma.com this Sunday for a conversation with Carolivia Herron, author of THEREAFTER JOHNNIE, a genre-defying novel that is by turns a poetic epic, a ghost story, a historical saga, and a chilling dystopian fable. RSVP for free:
Wickedly wonderful. Not kidding about the Spark and Waugh vibes.
Alpha and Omega by Jane Ellen Harrison is available now from Marginalian Editions. Buy your copy on our website and everywhere books are sold.
"The word 'heretic' has still about it an emotional thrill—a glow reflected, it may be, from the fires at Smithfield, the ardours of those who were burnt at the stake for love of an idea."
A lazy Saturday afternoon reading the newly rereleased The Unspeakable Skipton by Pamela Hansford Johnson. With a foreword by Michael Dirda. Not a single @mcnallyeditions.com release has disappointed so I have high hopes for this one as well.
So honored to host the very talented Carolivia Herron at People's Book at 2pm on Sunday 9/28. Read about why this DC classic is getting reissued with @mcnallyeditions.com!

The Authentic Death of Hendry Jones by Charles Neider is now available on our website and everywhere books are sold.
“We liked him for a lot of reasons. Some liked him because they were afraid of him, others because they admired him and still others because they hated him. But I think most were drawn to him because of his luck. You could not help wondering how a fellow could have such luck.“
From the prolifically gifted Pamela Hansford Johnson, neglected peer of Evelyn Waugh and Muriel Spark, comes “a maliciously witty account of literary skulduggery and lofty pretensions” (The Telegraph). THE UNSPEAKABLE SKIPTON is available now on our website and everywhere books are sold.
“The Authentic Death of Hendry Jones is neither a kind nor a comforting book, but it is a good one, wry, caustic and wise about the young, doomed American male.”—Matthew Keeley, @washingtonpost.com
Charles Neider’s The Authentic Death of Hendry Jones— the 1950s classic that rewrote the myth of the American West and inspired its subsequent chroniclers from Sam Peckinpah to Marlon Brando to Cormac McCarthy—is back in print today! Get your copy on our website and everywhere books are sold.

Join us and Ama Kwarteng on Monday (7/21) at McNally Jackson Downtown Brooklyn to discuss Daddy’s Gone A-Hunting by Penelope Mortimer! A breakthrough novel of suburban loneliness and subversion, it shocked critics in 1958 with its “feminine rage” (New York Times). RSVP on the MJ website!
“Not since Kafka has a writer created such terror and tenderness on the same page... If you read one book from India, read Sakina’s Kiss. If you want to read one novel from anywhere in the world, read Sakina’s Kiss.” —Mohammed Hanif
Precise, enigmatic, and suspenseful, Sakina’s Kiss by Vivek Shanbhag is a taut story of hidden violence and self-deception from “an Indian Chekhov” (Suketu Mehta). It is now available on our website, in McNally Jackson stores, and everywhere books are sold.
