Having a normal one

Applying for jobs is so much fun 🙃
A screenshot of an auto-generated section of a job application. On a light blue background, the word "Ghost" is printed in bold dark blue font. Beneath is the word "Skill level" followed by a drop-down menu with the option "Some Knowledge" selected.

And they tell you never to Google yourself!
A Goodreads review from March 12, 2022, three stars out of five. The review reads, “Standouts for me here are THE FAMOUS WRITER’S ASHES by Carlea Holl-Jensen (a haunting quality to this story that reminded me of the best Cronenberg), the excerpts from the ACLU book (always love nonfiction in my McSweeney’s), and the conclusions to all three cliffhangers, particularly Mona Awad’s. Loved the mix of genres here even if the bulk of the stories were forgettable.”
