About We All Go A Little Mad Sometimes

A lonely man in Los Angeles, Avery Vale, finds comfort in the presence of a mysterious cat. Yet, this being may be more than what it seems. The story unfolds through silence, routine, the downslide of companionship, and the grips of possession.

“No soul survives the quiet for long. The mind will invent gods, ghosts, or madness before it admits loneliness. The walls start to rattle. The lights buzz like broken neon above a strip club. You tell yourself it’s just the building settling. But the truth is simpler. It’s silence. And silence always wants something.”

2026 Chapbook Project: Spring Cohort.

The beginning of our newly instated Chapbook Corp is going monochrome. 4 authors (2 of whom are debutants in their respective genres) published at the same time for one massive chapbook cohort. Original artwork was hand-selected by our editor-in-chief for both the Fall and Spring cohorts. This project is what 10 years of chapbook publishing looks like. This is Thirty West.

40 pgs with a 5.5” x 8.5” trim size (page counts may vary).
