When a 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck Haiti on January 12, 2010, an estimated 300,000 people lost their lives and more than 1.5 million were displaced. Jonas Attilus and his family were among the survivors. What the Ground Couldn't Shake follows Attilus, a Haitian first-generation college student determined not to surrender his dream of becoming a doctor, through the moments before, during and after the earthquake. As an exchange student welcomed in Vermont, a tourist nervously visiting friends in the Dominican Republic, and finally, as a refugee seeking safety in Mexico, Attilus comes face to face with the ways borders define and confine those who most need to move.

In James R. Gapinski’s novella Edge of the Known Bus Line, a woman’s daily commute takes an abrupt turn when she’s dropped off in a grotesque shantytown. The townsfolk live in huts and tents scavenged from broken trinkets, eating dead rats and human flesh to sustain them, and developing religious cults about miracle bus routes that will someday set them free. But while searching for a way out of this surreal hellscape, the narrator dredges up a few nightmares of her own.
