A magical short novel from the author of All My Friends are Superheroes. A robber charges into a bank with a loaded gun, but instead of taking any money he steals an item of sentimental value from each person. Once he has made his escape, strange things start to happen to the victims. A tattoo comes to life, a husband turns into a snowman, a baby starts to shit money. And Stacey Hinterland discovers that she's shrinking, a little every day, and there is seemingly nothing that she or her husband can do to reverse the process. Can Stacey and the other victims find a solution before it is too late? The Tiny Wife is a weird and wonderful modern fable. Small, but perfectly formed, it will charm, delight and unnerve in equal measure.

The Tiny Wife

The Weirds have always been a little off, but not one of them ever suspected that they'd been cursed by their grandmother. At the moment of the births of her five grandchildren Annie Weird gave each one a special power. Richard, the oldest, always keeps safe; Abba always has hope; Lucy is never lost and Kent can beat anyone in a fight. As for Angie, she always forgives, instantly. But over the years these so-called blessings ended up ruining their lives. Now Annie is dying and she has one last task for Angie: gather her far-flung brothers and sisters and assemble them in her grandmother's hospital room so that at the moment of her death, she can lift these blessings-turned-curses. And Angie has just two weeks to do it. What follows is a quest like no other, tearing up highways and racing through airports, from a sketchy Winnipeg nursing home to the small island kingdom of Upliffta, from the family's crumbling ancestral Toronto mansion to a motel called Love. And there is also the search for the answer to the greatest family mystery of all: what really happened to their father, whose maroon Maserati was fished out of a lake so many years ago?

Born Weird

The Ticking Heart

A magical story of love and the isolation that defines the modern condition—Andrew Kaufman pulls off the near impossible and creates a wholly original allegorical tale that is both emotionally resonant and outlandishly fun. The Waterproof Bibleintroduces us to Rebecca Reynolds, a young woman with a most unusual and inconvenient problem: no matter how hard she tries, she can't stop her emotions from escaping her body and entering the world around her. Luckily she's developed a nifty way to trap and store her powerful emotions in objects — but how many shoeboxes can a girl fill before she feels crushed by her past? Three events force Rebecca to change her ways: the unannounced departure of her husband, Stewart; the sudden death of her musician sister, Lisa; and a near-crash with what appears to be a giant frogwoman. The giant, green-skinned, gill-necked woman is named Aberystwyth (Aby), and she's driving to the Prairies on a mission to save her dying mother. Meanwhile, Rebecca's grieving bother-in-law, Lewis, feeling lost, ends up getting off a plane in Winnipeg, which sets him on a fascinating journey through the darkest parts of grief with the help of a woman who calls herself God.

MTM:s talboksannotation: I familjen Weird har alla barn någon speciell talang som gör dem litet udda: en är alltid nöjd, en går aldrig vilse, en vinner alla slagsmål, en är alltid hoppfull och en förlåter vad som helst. De här egenskaperna är &"försignelser&" från deras snälla farmor men med åren har de blivit alltmer lika förbannelser. Med tre veckor kvar till sin dödsdag måste farmor samla barnbarnen för att lyfta försignelsen. Frågan är om hon ska hinna samla dem alla
