 | Freezer Burn by George Pratt, Joe R. Lansdale
Petty criminal Bill Roberts has been collecting his dead mother's social security checks--while her corpse lies in the bedroom--but can't forge her signature well enough to cash them. Hooking up with two loser friends, he plans a robbery that, quite naturally, gets horribly bungled, leaving Roberts to escape into a swamp on foot. When he emerges the next day, his face has so many insect bites that, when a third-string travelling freak show rolls past, it seems a perfect place to hide out. Roberts, though, can't leave well enough alone, and winds up embroiled in another scheme that has a violent and twisted love triangle at its heart. AUTHOR: George Pratt, Joe R. Lansdale

 | Los Veinticinco Gatos Mixtecos by Leorigildo Martinez, Martin Luis Guzman Ferrer, Matthew Gollub
In this awaited Spanish translation of Gollub and Martinez's first book, the Mixtec Cats at last have come home to the expressive language of Mexico. The hardcover and paperback editions, issued simultaneously, address the need for fine Spanish books that are authentic and culturally-relevant to young Spanish speakers. In a dusty mountain village of the artist's own Oaxaca, the local healer returns from market with twenty-five pets. Though some people fear the unfamiliar kittens will eat everything in sight -- and maybe even set fire to the fields -- when an evil spell threatens a member of the community, the cats win their way into the villagers' hearts.
