Trouble on Campus, Fresh off the Rack

New stories. Painted covers. Read it in one sitting.

Midwood Books publishes new pulp in the tradition of the mid-century drugstore rack: lurid covers, quick reads, and heroines who are smarter than everyone chasing them.

The first line is Midwood Campus. Ana Chandra, a student with a gift for languages, keeps finding the secrets her professors would rather she didn't.
