Lisa Bloom, New York Times bestselling author of Think and Swagger

Do you ever find yourself saying, Ill be happy when... or I cant wait until (this or that) is over? Most of us are caught red-handed wishing our time away or thinking we will be happy only after we have either achieved our dream job, bought our perfect home, or married, the one. But hold on happiness is not something to hope for in the future, it is something to have right now Today!

As if hauled up squirming from the bowels of the internet, Sex Goblin metabolizes sex writing, popular culture, and autofiction to present the real and the imagined as equally surreal possibilities. In the narrator’s childlike voice, all things become both mundane and strange—a child and their dog fused after a car accident, moments of tenderness amidst frat hazing, witches, and hiking accidents. At turns charming and bizarre, Sex Goblin channels sexual violence through the lens of the absurd to alchemize shame and abuse into something that registers differently than trauma. Sex Goblin is a barely factual but deeply felt field guide to relationships and relatability.

Lauren Cook’s I Love Shopping—beloved on the Internet and IRL—is back in print. 

Chickens have a collective soul. Heaven is full of the skateboarders you kissed in middle school. If the algorithm is its own hell, Lauren Cook, author of the critically (and uncritically) acclaimed Sex Goblin, stands in front of it fully armored. I Love Shopping invites its readers to inhabit a world just like ours, reflected through a big, benevolent funhouse mirror.

First published in a limited edition, this will be the first trade edition of the cult classic.
