Crazy turnout for the Mediac #booklaunch party yesterday! Delightful (& unsettling) readings from satirical food review maverick @nershwood.bsky.social and fantasy phenom Thomas (T.M.) May.

Thanks to everyone for getting this @anxietypress.bsky.social joint out into the ether.

Here’s something new: we’re giving money to the most fucked-up fiction you can cough up.
$100 cash. No trophies. No clapping. Just shame, ruin, and a digital certificate of despair.
