Oh my goodness THANK YOU! It's so nice (and rare) to hear back!

Here’s to all the lovelies I got to frolic with on stage over the years.

(And please pour a martini glass of blood out for the LDG no longer with us 💀)

Thank you to everyone who supported us and participated in our antics! Happy spooky season 🖤

Oh, it's totally a pen name, for reasons. But the bio details are real! (Fuck MK-ULTRA, though)

Thank you! So common during RPDR lip syncs

FREAKSLAW by JANE FLETT
A worthy GEEK LOVE descendant! The carnival comes to a small Irish town to rescue the weirdos and extract revenge.

Reading it right now and it slaps so hard 🍄

Ah! Thank you so much, I'm so glad it hit like that for you! <3

Yay, thanks for the share! <3

THE GOLDFINCH by Donna Tartt
Another Dickensian epic featuring the woes of an orphan and the trauma-to-addiction pipeline, but packed into an art-heist thriller set in the New York antiques world. (Even after 771 pages, it was hard to leave this world behind!)

WELLNESS by Nathan Hill
Portrait of a Gen X marriage that is also about everything else–conspiracy theories and Facebook algorithms, the 90s, open marriage, photography, the placebo effect, and the power of story to shape our lives.

Literally just finished The Good Place and hence this is freshly relevant 💜💜💜

Fantastic! Thank you for a wonderful editorial experience 🎉 So proud to be part of this issue!

CASUAL by Koji A. Dae
Sci-fi dystopia that explores bodily autonomy via a pregnant woman forced to discontinue the neurological implant that manages her mental health symptoms. Dae writes powerful interiority and immersive settings in a world far too close to our own.

I WHO HAVE NEVER KNOWN MEN
by Jacqueline Harpman
An anonymous narrator raised in a cage with 39 other women without memory of her previous life or how they came to be imprisoned. A Kafkaesque existential classic.
