JULY 2, 2025
Turnstone Press is pleased to announce the acquisition of David Jón Fuller’s debut Speculative Fiction novel, Venue 13, to be released spring 2026 under Turnstone’s Ravenstone Imprint.
Robert Laliberte has a dream―a dream to convert a run-down building into a premier space for bring-your-own-venue productions in his city’s summer theatre festival. But achieving his dream isn’t easy. Amid mounting debt and numerous technical problems, Robert is unaware that his beloved Venue 13 is also haunted. And if the belligerent ghost has anything to say about it, nobody's shows will go on.
David Jón Fuller is a Winnipeg-based writer and editor. A long-time staple of the city’s theatre community, David currently works for the Winnipeg Free Press where he has written hundreds of newspaper and magazine features. His speculative short fiction has been published in many anthologies. Venue 13 is his debut novel.
Established in 1976, Turnstone Press publishes some of the most exciting and innovative poetry, fiction, and nonfiction in Canada. In 1998, Turnstone Press launched its genre imprint, Ravenstone, publishing mysteries, thrillers, cli-fi, and speculative fiction.
