A riveting, deeply researched, blood-on-the-spurs biography of Belle Starr, the most legendary female outlaw of the American West. On February 3, 1889, just two days shy of her forty-first birthday, Myra Maybelle Shirleybetter known at that point by her outlaw sobriquet Belle Starrwas blown from her horse saddle and killed by a pair of shotgun blasts, delivered by an unseen assailant, only a few miles away from her home in the Indian Territory of present-day Oklahoma. Thus ended the life of one of the most colorful, authentic, and dangerous women in the history of the American West.While todays household names like Annie Oakley and Calamity Jane had dubious criminal bona fides, Belles were not in any doubt. This notorious gunslinger led a gang of horse thieves (a very serious crime in an era when horses were often the basis of ones livelihood); was romantically involved with two of the Wests most legendary outlaws, Cole Younger and Jim Reed (her first husband); and participated in stickups and robberies across present-day Texas and Oklahoma. When Reed was murdered, Belle crossed into the Cherokee Nation in Indian Territory, where she assimilated into the Cherokee tribe, a matrilineal society, and soon married Sam Starr, a direct descendant of Nanyehi, the greatest female warrior in Cherokee history.Dane Huckelbridge, acclaimed author of No Beast So Fierce, probes a life rich in contradictions and intrigue. Why did a woman who had considerable advantages in lifea good family, a decent education, solid marriage prospects, a clear path to financial securitychoose to pursue a life of crime? The life of Belle Starr, the Bandit Queen, is one of almost endless trauma: the horrors of the Civil War, which destroyed her hometown and killed her beloved brother, Bud; the untimely deaths of her first two husbands, both of them murdered; a stint in Detroits notorious womens prison. Her career coincided with those of Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and yet Belle Starr was a very different sort of feminist icon.Queen of All Mayhem is a triumph of American history biography, revealing one of the most-mythologized figures of Western lore as she truly was.This definitive look at the real Belle Starr separates fact from fiction to explore:A True Female Outlaw: Unlike contemporaries like Annie Oakley, Belle Starrs criminal bona fides were never in doubt, from leading horse thieves to her romantic involvement with the legendary Cole Younger. The Civil Wars Influence: Discover how the horrors of the war, which destroyed her hometown and killed her beloved brother, set a woman of privilege on a path of rebellion and crime. Indian Territory Life: Explore her assimilation into the Cherokee tribe, a matrilineal society where she married Sam Starra descendant of the nations greatest female warriorand carved out her own domain. A 19th-Century Anomaly: Go beyond the mythology to understand the complex woman who defied expectations to become a very different kind of icon from her contemporaries, like Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton.

Longlisted for The Story PrizePowerfully unique and thoughtfully written, with the ability to carry you to places youve yet to imagine and return you to places youve tried to escape.Chicago Review of BooksEvery story in Portalmania is distinctive, vital, and sophisticated; the whole is an almost perfectly constructed debut collection that brings into sharp focus an impressively cohesive project.Locus, 2025 Recommended ReadingIf you could go anywhere, where would you go? And what happens to the people you leave behind?From the author of After World comes a genre-busting collection of stories that reveal our lives in a startling new light, perfect for fans of Kelly Link and Carmen Maria Machado In Portalmania, Debbie Urbanski wields sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and realism to build a dark mirror that she holds up to the ordinary world. Within the sharply imagined landscape of this collection, portals appear in linen closets, planetary gateways materialize in boarding schools, monsters wait in bathroom vents, and transformations of womens bodies are an everyday occurrence. Political division causes physical rifts that break apart the Earths crust. A son on another planet sends dispatches home to the mother who failed him, and a wife turns to the supernatural to escape her abusive marriage. Portals are not only doorways found in childrens classics, but separations, escapes, dead ends, desertions, and choices that will change these characters lives forever. Against a fantastical backdrop, these stories dive bravely into the shadowy depths of betrayal, parenthood, revenge, murder, coercive sex, open marriages, asexuality, neurodiversity, and second chances. What if were not the ideal parents for our children? What if were not the ideal person to live our own life? Portalmania questions why we love as we do and asks if we have enough courage to reimagine desire.

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERDo you want to know why todays Supreme Court rules like it does? Leah Litman has the answer, and it is one that people should know. Its time to read this book! Los Angeles Review of BooksLeah Litmans work leaves you fired up yet empowered to pay attention, ready to resist, and, frankly, hotter. Jonathan Van NessCrooked Media podcast host Leah Litman shines a light on the unabashed lawlessness embraced by conservative Supreme Court justices and shows us how to fight back. Something is deeply rotten at the Supreme Court. How did we get here, and what can we do about it? With the gravitas of Joan Biskupic and the irreverence of Elie Mystal, Leah Litman brings her signature wit to the question of whats gone wrong at One First Street. In Lawless, she argues that the Supreme Court is no longer practicing law; its running on vibes. By vibes, Litman means legal-ish claims that repackage the politics of conservative grievance and dress them up in robes. Major decisions adopt the language and posture of the law, while in fact displaying a commitment to protecting a single minority: the religious conservatives and Republican officials whose views are no longer shared by a majority of the country.Employing pop culture references and the latest court decisions, Litman delivers a funny, zeitgeisty, pulls-no-punches cri de coeur undergirded by impeccable scholarship. She gives us the tools we need to understand the law, the dynamics of courts, and the stakes of this current moment and shows us how to fight backeven as she makes us chuckle on every page and emerge empowered to fight for a better future.

A marvelous new essay collection from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Somebodys Fool and The Destiny ThiefLife and Artthese are the twin subjects considered in Richard Russos thirteen masterful new essayshow they inform each other and how the stories we tell ourselves about both shape our understanding of the world around us. In The Lives of Others, he reflects on the implacable fact that writers use people, insisting that what matters, in the end, is how and for what purpose. How do you bridge the gap between what you know and what you dont (and sometimes cant) know? Why tell a story in the first place? What we dont understand, Russo opines, is in fact the very thing that beckons to us. In Stiff Neck, he writes of the exasperating fault lines exposed within his own family as his wifes sister and her husbandproudly unvaccinateddevelop COVID. In Triage, he details with heartbreaking vividness the terror of seeing his seven-year-old grandson in critical condition. And in Ghosts, he revisits Gloversville, the town that gave rise to the now-legendary fictional town of North Bath, and confronts the specter of its richly populated past and its ghostly present. Life and Art comprises sharp, tender, extraordinarily intimate reflections on work, culture, love, and family from one of the great writers of our time.

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY LIBRARY JOURNAL The extraordinary life of forgotten World War II hero Evans Carlson, commander of Americas first special forces, secret confidant of FDR, and one of the most controversial officers in the history of the Marine Corps, who dedicated his life to bridging the cultural divide between the United States and ChinaHe was a gutsy old man. A corker, said another. You couldnt find anyone better. They talked about him in hushed tones. This Major Carlson, wrote one of the officers in a letter home, is one of the finest men I have ever known.These were the words of the young Marines training to be among the first U.S. troops to enter the Second World Warand the Major Carlson they spoke of was Evans Carlson, a man of mythical status even before the war that would make him a military legend.By December of 1941, at the age of forty-five, Carlson had already faced off against Sandinistas in the jungles of Nicaragua and served multiple tours in China, where he embedded with Maos Communist forces during the Sino-Japanese War. Inspired by their guerilla tactics and their collaborative spiritwhich hed call gung ho, introducing the term to the English languageand driven by his own Emersonian ideals of self-reliance, Carlson would go on to form his renowned Marine Raiders, the progenitors of todays special operations forces, who fought behind Japanese lines on Makin Island and Guadalcanal, showing Americans a new way to do battle.In The Raider, Cundill Prizewinning historian Stephen R. Platt gives us the first authoritative account of Carlsons larger-than-life exploits: the real story, based on years of research including newly discovered diaries and correspondence in English and Chinese, with deep insight into the conflicted idealism about the Chinese Communists that would prove Carlsons undoing in the McCarthy era.Tracing the rise and fall of an unlikely American war hero, The Raider is a story of exploration, of cultural (mis)understanding, and of one mans awakening to the sheer breadth of the world.
