You Do to My Heart by Woody Allen

Three unlucky New Yorkers. Three shots at love and sanity. Not very smooth—and you wouldn’t want it any other way.
In the title story, Murray Resnick loses his job, his wife, and very nearly his mind in the same unlucky year, and after some desperate attempts and fantasies is given to seek succor with his brother in Palm Beach where more problems emerge.
In “Park Avenue Story,” a hasty, failed marriage and a single glimpse of a girl on Park Avenue send a young Brooklyn-born playwright on a romantic fixation that detonates after they finally meet.
In “Breakfast Special,” a shy, lovestruck novelist becomes consumed by a woman who passes his coffee-shop window each morning while his imagination gets dangerously ahead of the facts.
You Do to My Heart is Woody Allen at his most classic: three New York stories about brilliant, anxious men undone by love, memory, and their own overactive minds. Funny, rueful, and packed with the neurotic charm that has defined his films for half a century, this collection confirms that no one captures the particular heartbreak of loving in Manhattan quite like Woody Allen.
Woody Allen is a writer, director, and actor. An avid jazz enthusiast and sports fan, he has been a stand-up comedian and a published author. His first novel, What’s with Baum?, was published by Post Hill Press in 2025. He lives on the Upper East Side of Manhattan with his wife and two daughters.

What are the secrets buried deep in Promise Land, and why are they unearthing themselves now?
Orphelia Dudley’s family has made their fortune through the slave trade, enjoying religious and social status in Promise Land. As the town embarks upon another witch hunt to find the murderer, Orphelia and Settie, a woman enslaved by her family, become intertwined in a mystery to stop the deaths, mania, and fear gripping their town.

Stephen King and Gillian Flynn meet Breaking Bad.
Werewolf noir horror…where addiction and organized crime drive moral collapse.
Every bloodline carries a curse. This one howls.
The Crimson Traveler is a gritty examination of addiction, violence and organized crime, told through a supernatural lens. Set in modern-day Pennsylvania, the novel follows two women, Liz Campbell, a drug-addicted ex-marine, and Macy Burkhardt, an unsuspecting suburban mechanic, as their paths intersect with a lineage of werewolves.
On their journey to find a cure for their accidental curse, they collide with Desmond O’Connell, a psychopathic Wolf King from England, struggling to hold together a crumbling dynasty of criminal shapeshifters. In the midst of a re-emerging war, the King’s connection with his bloodline threatens to bring him to his knees, while a mysterious and fatal plague strips the whole syndicate of its humanity.
A dark fusion of noir and supernatural horror, The Crimson Traveler is an unsentimental tale about inherited violence, family obligation and the monsters inside us.
It will appeal to readers of Gabino Iglesias, Joe Hill, Christopher Buehlman, Stephen Graham Jones, and Gillian Flynn who are drawn to character-driven horror that is unsparing, morally complex, and emotionally grounded.
