Mason Jar Press is proud to introduce the Novella Series with the release of three stellar chapbooks by Nicole Callihan, Jaime Fountaine and Tomas Moniz. These thematically linked pieces speak to one another while containing a strength and style all their own.

Tomas Moniz’s All Friends Are Necessary follows a young man in San Francisco as he navigates love, addiction, and the struggles of adulthood on his way to maturity and independence.

In Jaime Fountaine’s Manhunt, an unnamed narrator experiences a summer on the cusp of womanhood, exploring her own sexuality, the deep cuts of her teenage years, and the extreme ennui of suburban decay.

The Couples, by Nicole Callihan, finds a woman at a crossroads in her marriage and her family life, remembering and reexperiencing her first relationship and all the damage her youth imparted upon her.
