We are impossibly overjoyed to announce Half Mystic Press' debut novella: Sammie Downing's THE FAMILY THAT CARRIED THEIR HOUSE ON THEIR BACKS, a modern fairytale that interrogates the trauma embodied by mothers, inherited by daughters, & patterned in our walls, chests, & feet.

“Close your eyes. Listen. Nothing’s missing.” This morning the Half Mystic team is lingering with this reminder from Maxime Lagacé. We wish you hazy softness & the sweetest of autumn days, songbirds; we hope this finds you in a place where nothing is missing. #halfmysticlovesyou

Where does this tenderness come from? And what will I do with it? Young stranger, poet, in this city of strangers: you and your eyelashes—longer than anyone’s. —Marina Tsvetaeva, trans. Ilya Kaminsky (Ilya Kaminsky) & Jean Valentine

As summer fades to autumn, the Half Mystic team wishes you the inexpressible quiet of falling leaves and warm coffee. If you're searching for a Halloween read, might we suggest our latest release, HAG by Tamara Jobe, an exploration of monstrous femininity? halfmystic.com/bookshop/hag

HAG by Tamara Jobe, our third poetry collection, is a reclamation of language—how it holds sway over us, how it moves through everything, a gorgeous annihilation. halfmystic.com/bookshop/hag
