Another gem from New Brunswick's @galleon-books.bsky.social. A great little novella whose true value (for me) lies in the witty repartee amongst the characters running a funeral home (always good for humerous material) and their efforts to thwart a takeover of their property for development.

“The lives of the men and women in The Saltbox Olive is always balanced by a convincing and apparently accurate description of the daily lives of the Newfoundland soldiers who were deployed in the war.” #ThrowbackThursday @breakwaterbooks.bsky.social www.theseaboardreview.ca/p/the-saltbo...

I received this book from @llpmtl.bsky.social in exchange for a review. As far as good short story collections go, this was a 5-star read for me. "Ways to Hold a Gun" was just one outstanding example. Recommended for lovers of literary #shortfiction.

2026-18 💙📚 Growing up in Windsor people talk about "the county". That county is Essex County, a series of small communities, with huge swaths of farmland in between. Jeff Lemire's collection of three graphic novels are stories of isolation, loneliness and through it all, hockey. Simply very good.

This week's reviews at The Seaboard Review of Books. www.theseaboardreview.ca/p/the-seaboa... #bookreviews #canlit #booksofbluesky

Pushing Hope is #RaymondSantana's powerful graphic memoir of wrongful imprisonment, w 4 others, for the rape of a Central Park jogger. When the real perpetrator confessed, they were free—as free as they could be, after such a nightmare. #AstraPublishingHouse @theseaboardreview.ca sl1nk.com/t342wyx

As seen in Camel #5. Sharing the page with Emergency Flash Mob Press. We highly recommend Camel, "an illustrated journal of narrative."

We said that? We sure did!

“The Perfect Archive” by Paul Lisson. James wrote this back in 2019 for Hamilton Arts & Letters. @guernicaeditions.bsky.social did post a pull quote from it, so it couldn’t have been that bad! #ThrowbackThursday #poetry www.theseaboardreview.ca/p/the-perfec...

In Pizza Before We Die: An Eyewitness Account in Gaza, #HassanKanafani describes the ruin of his country by Israeli bombs. His family's home, now a fragile tent. “In the darkness... a doorless prison—a cramped space where anxiety and dread cling to the air.” @arsenalpulp.bsky.social l1nq.com/wx9t5j5
