WHEN THE OLD OAK

In a cottage nestled deep in the woods, Magdalena tends her garden with quiet, lonesome devotion—dilligently nurturing her tomatoes, hydrangeas, and the aching memory of her late husband, Frederick. When her grief grows too heavy to bear, she seeks help from the craggy village witch, and what begins as a simple bargain soon blossoms into something far darker. From a handful of soil and a touch of forbidden magic, the dead begin to stir—and from her garden blooms something terrible and tender: true love reanimated, the familiar made monstrous, and a reckoning that takes root beneath the soil.
When the Old Oak is a darkly funny and hauntingly lyrical folktale about love, loss, and the stubborn things that refuse to stay buried. With the mischievous humor of a reimagined Mother Goose and the slow-burning ache of the Southern Gothic, Lauren Mills’ enchanting debut explores how even the most beautiful acts of devotion can take on a life—and death—of their own.

Nero, Nero

Father Matthew, disgraced and exiled from his parish for reasons whispered but never fully spoken, is on a pilgrimage of uncertain purpose. God has haunted his dreams with strange visions, commanding him—tithes in hand—on a journey to modern-day Gomorrah: the wretched, glittering abyss of Las Vegas. There, he meets the Shark—a charming, venomous gambling addict who offers to guide the newcomer around town, seeing in Matthew nothing more than a walking payday.
As the odd couple stumble through the glitz and grime of the Vegas Strip, they cross paths with drunks, dancers, Liberace, and Nero himself—a toga-clad street performer who may be cracked, divine, or both. Through cabaret shows, roulette tables, and drive-thru wedding chapels, their journey becomes less a quest for faith and more a scramble for meaning in a city where everything’s for sale—even salvation.
Darkly funny, blasphemous, and unexpectedly tender, Nero, Nero proclaims: If God is always watching…He must have one hell of a sense of humor.
