Now playing on CBC and CBC Gem: TRICKSTER
Based on Eden Robinson's bestselling Trickster trilogy
Trickster: “This might be the best CBC drama in years. The six-part series doesn’t aim clumsily for prestige-TV tropes. Instead it flows naturally from Eden Robinson’s book, the source material. In the hands of writer/director Michelle Latimer, that material becomes a sophisticated and very entertaining young-adult yarn with huge appeal. The focus is on Jared (Joel Oulette), an Indigenous teen whose life in a laidback but drug-addled community involves protecting his born-to be-wild mother (Crystle Lightning, wonderful) and others. Then the world seems to play tricks on him. Highly recommended from the get-go, this is an acute, enjoyable journey.”
— John Doyle, THE GLOBE AND MAIL
Coming soon: the UK edition of Reproduction and Frances Greenslade's new book, Red Fox Road
PRAISE FOR REPRODUCTION “Williams’s imaginative, intricate tapestries are dazzling […] In his rich probes of language and intimacy, legacy and inheritance, he slyly shows that reproduction is consequential, but so is everything else.” |

Now available: Kill the King, the epic conclusion to the Caselli and Torre series
“Not since Thomas Harris’s The Silence of the Lambs has there been as intriguing a pairing of hard-charging female detective and ‘damaged’ savant, and not since Jo Nesbo has there been a foreign thriller talent as promising.”— THE DARK SIDE
The US edition of Ian Williams' debut novel, Reproduction, is now available
“Innovative, smart, funny, joyous, poetic, generous and forgiving of human foibles. Reproduction is Williams’s first book of fiction, but it is clear he will be around for a long while.”
—ALEKSANDAR HEMON, author of The Lazarus Project
“This gorgeous novel vibrates with life. Williams’ compassion for his characters transforms them from ordinary beings into uncommon souls. We know these people: their flaws, their foibles and their fuck-ups. We recognise them because we share the same vagaries of living, wherever we are born. Stylistically inventive and narratively compelling, Reproduction is a stunning achievement.”
— AMINATTA FORNA, author of The Memory of Love
The Definitive Guide to Canadian Distilleries

“To call Davin de Kergommeaux the soul of Canadian whisky is an understatement— he is its guide, its historian,
and its leading advocate as seen with Canadian Whisky. Now this book, written with Blair Phillips, is as astounding
in its breadth of coverage as its depth of insight. Make room in your library, spirits fans: this is a must-own book.”
— CLAY RISEN, author of American Whiskey, Bourbon and Rye and Single Malt
"Her body. Their rules."
Now available in stores: Mallory Tater's The Birth Yard
“With enough exquisite detail to draw a provocative landscape paired with fast-paced action, The Birth Yard
had me up all night. Mallory Tater has built an intricate and devious world and then walked us directly into
the middle of it. Thankfully, she has also given us the strong and conflicted Sable Ursu to walk us back out.”
— CHERIE DIMALINE, bestselling author of The Marrow Thieves and Empire of Wild
