“The Job of the Wasp is a madcap mystery, a macabre coming-of-age story and an unearthly fantasy—but it feels like childhood, like the world, like life.” —Daniel Handler, author of We Are Pirates and All The Dirty Parts
A new arrival at an isolated school for orphaned boys quickly comes to realize there is something wrong with his new home. He hears chilling whispers in the night, his troubled classmates are violent and hostile, and the Headmaster sends cryptic messages, begging his new charge to confess. As the new boy learns to survive on the edges of this impolite society, he starts to unravel a mystery at the school’s dark heart. And that’s when the corpses start turning up.
A coming-of-age tale, a Gothic ghost story, and a murder mystery all in one, The Job of the Wasp is a bloodcurdling and brilliantly subversive novel about paranoia, love, and the nightmare of adolescence.

"In his astonishing portrait of American violence, Haints Stay, Colin Winnette makes use of the Western genre to stunning effect. But this isn''t a chummy oater penned by the likes of Zane Grey or Louis L''Amour. Winnette''s frontier feels more Homeric. His knack for tapping into scenes of primal fear and poetic violence serves as an indictment of our species'' base nature and worst instincts. While the novel flouts most of the conventions of the traditional horse opera, the rewards of Haints Stay belong to the reader."—Jim Ruland, Los Angeles Times
"Striking and powerful... a Western as reimagined through the transgressive lens of Dennis Cooper. What Winnette does here is less about undermining the traditions of the Westerns and more about pushing them in unexpected directions."—Tobias Carroll, Electric Literature
"The most anticipated independent novel of the summer."—Flavorwire
"Winnette’s already sharp prose is honed here to a razor edge. It rolls across the stark, lawless world he evokes like approaching thunder."—Midnight Breakfast
Brooke and Sugar are killers. Bird is the boy who mysteriously woke beside them while between towns. For miles, there is only desert and wilderness, and along the fringes, people.
The story follows the middling bounty hunters after they''ve been chased from town, and Bird, each in pursuit of their own sense of belonging and justice. It features gunfights, cannibalism, barroom piano, a transgender birth, a wagon train, a stampede, and the tenuous rise of the West''s first one-armed gunslinger.
Haints Stay is a new acid western in the tradition of Rudolph Wurlitzer, Kelly Reichardt''s Meek''s Cutoff, and Jim Jarmusch''s Dead Man: meaning it is brutal, surreal, and possesses an unsettling humor.

Finalist for the PEN/Faulkner Award for FictionA New York Times Book Review Editors' ChoiceMarrying the philosophical absurdities of life, technology, start-up culture, and family, Users is perfect for viewers of the hit Apple TV+ original series Severance and PluribusMiles, a lead creative at a midsize virtual reality company known for its “original experiences,” has engineered a new product called The Ghost Lover. Wildly popular from the outset, the “game” is simple: a user’s simulated life is almost identical to their reality, except they’re haunted by the ghost of an ex-lover.However, when a shift in the company's strategic vision puts The Ghost Lover at the center of a platform-wide controversy, Miles becomes the target of user outrage, and starts receiving a series of anonymous death threats. Typed notes sealed in envelopes with no postage or return address, these persistent threats push Miles into a paranoid panic, blurring his own sense of reality, catalyzing the collapse of his career, his marriage, and his relationship with his children.The once-promising road to success becomes a narrow set of choices for Miles, who, in a last ditch effort to save his job, pitches his masterpiece, a revolutionary device code-named the Egg, which will transform the company. The consequences for Miles seal him inside the walls of his life as what was once anxiety explodes into devastating absoluteness.In a world rife with the unchecked power and ambition of tech, Users investigates—with both humor and creeping dread—how interpersonal experiences and private decisions influence the hasty developments that have the power to permanently alter the landscape of human experience. - E-bokEngelska, 2016

Slate: Underrated Books of the Year Flavorwire: Best Independent Press Books of 2015LitReactor: Best Books of 2015Brooke and Sugar are contract killers without a contract. Bird is the 13-year-old who appears in their camp one night, with no memory and palms as smooth as stones. Driven from town after a bathhouse brawl, it's only a matter of time before the sheriffs will find them. Before the cannibals and stampedes and marauders will find them. Before the past will clamber up from where they buried it, covered in animal skins and teeth.In Haints Stay, Colin Winnette breaks down the classic Western and builds a bloody lean-to from the scraps. Brutal, surreal, and darkly funny, this bold new novel follows an ever-expanding cast of characters - each in the pursuit of their own brand of justice and belonging. - Häftad, Engelska, 2016

A minute-by-minute analysis of Richard Linklater's 1993 film, Dazed and Confused.Blending film criticism with creative nonfiction, each book in the Timecodes series focuses on one film, exploring it minute by minute beginning with minute one, and ending with the final minute before the closing credits. This book uses a close study of Dazed and Confused to tell three interrelated stories of adolescent development: the filmmaker's, the film's characters, and the author's own. The film's unconventional approach to character and plot mirrors the author's own structureless and energetic childhood, while also having a profound impact on his artistic development, as the film revealed that bending traditional narrative rules could make a story feel more honest and precise. The film also marked a kind of artistic coming-of-age for Linklater himself, as he transitioned from his self-financed indie infancy into his first studio film.The structure of Dazed and Confused mirrors the roving momentum of a youthful night, moving fluidly between characters, incidents, conversations, and what can only loosely be called "e;set pieces"e;, while never feeling aimless. Each moment moves the night forward, revealing more of our characters as we slowly form a sense of what the rest of their summer might look like, and how the rest of their lives might go (though we're also reminded there'll be surprises along the way). As these moments accumulate, viewers are invited to reflect on their own lives, their own friends, their own easy nights of highs and lows, boredom and elation, danger and congress. Adopting the formal conceit of the Timecodes series, this book accepts the film's invitation to live moment by moment, taking each discrete minute as an opportunity to reorient and explore new vantages on both the movie and the author's own life. - Häftad, Engelska, 2024
