never mind, never mine is a hypnotic and moody book of poems about a doomed summer romance. Fueled by weed, wine and wanderlust, the narrator recounts the dizzying highs and midnight-black lows in a continent-spanning road trip--Mississippi River to Pacific Ocean, pine trees to palm trees, desert roads to Mulholland Drive. "Love-drunk and pleasure-crazed," you should come along for the ride

Kitchen Nightmares! On a dark, haunted night, a Russian oligarch dares a circle of international chefs to play the samurai game of 100 Candles--where each storyteller spins a terrifying tale of ghosts, demons and unspeakable beings--and prays to survive the challenge. Inspired by the Japanese Edo period game of Hyakumonogatari Kaidankai, Hungry Ghosts reimagines the classic stories of yokai, yorei, and obake, all tainted with the common thread of food. First course: With bad consequence, a ramen chef refuses to help a beggar, and a band of pirates get more (and less) than they were bargaining for after their encounter with a drowning woman turns ghastly. Hungry Ghosts is cooked up by the infamous author and chef, Anthony Bourdain (Kitchen Confidential, Emmy-Award winning TV star of Parts Unknown) and acclaimed novelist Joel Rose (Kill, Kill, Faster, Faster, back again from their New York Times #1 best seller, Get Jiro!). Joining them this issue are stellar artists Alberto Ponticelli and Vanesa Del Rey, with amazing color by Jose Villarrubia, and a drop-dead cover by Paul Pope

Acclaimed chef, writer and television personality, Anthony Bourdain, and Joel Rose (Kill The Poor) return for the follow-up to their #1 New York Times bestseller GET JIRO! In a prequel to The New York Times best-selling comic from renowned chef Anthony Bourdain (CNN’s Parts Unknown), Jiro is a young man learning his craft. The son of one of Tokyo’s most powerful gangsters, he is torn between his father’s plans for him and his own desire to master the art of sushi. The family is making a bold move in the Tokyo underworld, and if Jiro isn’t going to get with the program, his half-brother Ichigo is more than happy to step in and do the dirty work.

Jo-Jo is a soldier on the front line of Alphabet City, the notorious neighborhood on Manhattan''s Lower East Side where professional hipster couples compete with drug dealers and muggers for control of the streets--and vie with welfare families for possession of the area''s crumbling buildings. Jo-Jo and his pregnant French wife were desperate when they moved into the neighborhood--the very slums that his grandmother and parents had spent their lives working to get out of--and risked everything to join other homesteaders rebuilding the shells of buildings that had been abandoned by their landlords. Now Jo-Jo and Annabelle''s daughter goes to daycare across from where they live and Jo-Jo finds himself fighting to make a home for his family amidst the random violence and killing poverty of a bizarre urban frontier--where the rule of survival is dog-eat-dog."Gripping, realist fiction...What gives the novel life, though, is not its casual cynicism, but its unerring portrayal of street life, a constant source of drama and entertainment...compelling." --Kirkus Reviews"Sharp, savage and extremely well written." --New York Times Book Review

"Irresistibly seductive...a masterpiece." —Anthony Bourdain In the sweltering New York summer of 1841, five people are found brutally murdered. At the center of it all is High Constable Jacob Hays, the young city''s first detective and the novel''s "likeable, crusty narrator" ( Time Out New York). His investigation spans years, involving gang wars, graverobbers, and clues hidden in poems by that hopeless romantic and minstrel of the night: Edgar Allan Poe. The Blackest Bird is a gripping and atmospheric historical thriller of murder and deceit in nineteenth-century New York.

Nueva York, 1841. A Jacob Hays, máximo responsable de la policía de la ciudad, le espera un verano largo y caluroso a pesar de que el aumento de temperatura nada tiene que ver con la tensión creada por los periódicos en torno a una banda peligrosa que controla la ciudad. Cuando Mary Rogers, atractiva dependienta de una famosa tienda de tabaco, aparece brutalmente asesinada en el río Hudson, Hays será el responsable de encontrar al asesino. Además, Hays deberá investigar otros casos que mantienen a Manhattan en desvelo: John Colt, del imperio de armas de fuego, ha acabado con la vida de su editor por razones extrañas y Tommy Coleman, mafioso irlandés, es acusado de matar a su hija, a su mujer y al amante de ésta. Hays se enzarzará en una investigación donde se enfrentará con guerras entre bandas rivales, ladrones de tumbas y pistas escondidas en poemas escritos por el romántico poeta de la noche: Edgar Allan Poe.
