  ""Creep is everything I want from a novel—it’s obsessive, it’s rapturous, it spirals into the most masochistic corners of the mind. A perfectly twisted debut.""—Anna Dorn, author of Perfume & Pain 
  ""A chilling book by an exciting new voice.""—Vogue (UK) 
  From a blistering new voice in dark literary fiction, an unsettling portrait of loneliness, obsession, and identity which asks: if a stranger was left alone in your house, how well could they truly get to know you—enough to fall in love with you?  
  Alice and Tom are made for each other. Deeply connected, they share a flat in London, go to galleries together, enjoy the same books and wine. They even share a toothbrush. It’s all picture perfect. 
  Except Alice and Tom have never met. 
  Alice has been cleaning Tom’s apartment every Wednesday for a year. With every smudge wiped from his coffee cup, every multivitamin counted in the jar, Alice spirals deeper into infatuation, imagining a love so powerful it might erase a lifetime of self-hatred and loneliness. 
  But as Alice prepares for the moment when she and Tom will finally meet face-to-face, she discovers that love might not be the cure she thought it was. Instead, the line between fantasy and reality becomes ever more blurred, shattering everything Alice thought she knew. 
  Told in Alice’s compelling, deliciously acidic voice, Creep is a literary study of unreliability and unlikability. Exploring alienation, class, and race, it's a skilled debut with resonance in the way that we view women, mental health, and the lost in society.

  🚨 Are you emotionally exhausted for no reason? Do you pick up on other people’s vibes like a human satellite dish? Have you ever locked eyes with a sad-looking dog and suddenly needed therapy? 🚨 
  CONGRATULATIONS! You might be an empath. 
  (Or just a really tired person who needs a nap. Either way, this book is for you.) 
  From the chaotically overwhelmed mind of bestselling author Dicholas Chad Pansy comes the first-ever survival guide for empaths who have absolutely no idea how to stop absorbing other people’s problems like an unpaid emotional support sponge. 
  Inside these pages, you’ll learn: 
  ✔️ How to instantly recognize an emotional vampire before they drain your soul dry (Hint: If their text says "Can I vent?" RUN.) 
  ✔️ The five stages of realizing you’re an empath: Confusion, Denial, Over-Commitment, Burnout, and Googling "Can I return my empathy?" 
  ✔️ Why crowded places feel like a sensory assault: (Spoiler: Because they ARE.) 
  ✔️ The scientifically unproven but emotionally accurate concept of "Empath Fatigue™"—a condition where you are exhausted, but not from anything you actually did. 
  ✔️ How to set boundaries like a functioning adult (But let’s be honest, you won’t.) 
  ✔️ A step-by-step guide to ignoring toxic positivity without getting arrested. 
  📌 BONUS FEATURES: 
  ✅ Empath Bingo! (Check off "Apologized for something that wasn’t my fault," "Cried over a fictional character," and "Overanalyzed a text message for three hours.") 
  ✅ A guide to ghosting narcissists with zero guilt. (Yes, you ARE allowed to disappear.) 
  ✅ Top 10 lies you tell yourself as an empath, starting with "I’m fine." 
  🚨 WARNING: This book will not help you become a better person. It will, however, make you feel less alone while you continue spiraling into emotional exhaustion. 
  📢 Read at your own risk. (Or don’t. You’ll probably feel guilty either way.)

  "Sure, I'll Join Your Cult: A Memoir of Mental Illness and the Quest to Belong Anywhere" by Maria Bamford is a candid and humorous exploration of the author's lifelong struggle to find her place in the world. From battling an eating disorder in the 1980s to navigating a career in the arts while dealing with medical debt and psychiatric institutionalization, Bamford has tried various methods to fit in and connect with others. In her unique comedic style, she recounts her experiences in numerous anonymous fellowships, including Debtors Anonymous and Overeaters Anonymous, as well as her hypomanic episodes related to issues like capitalism and workplace health. Through her singular voice, Bamford's memoir delves into the challenges of being a part of society despite not excelling at it, with the aim of turning isolating experiences into relatable comedy without forming a cult following.

  Finally, a philosophy book that won't make you contemplate throwing yourself into the abyss! " WHAT THE HELL" tears into Ludwig Wittgenstein—history's most insufferable genius—with savage wit and zero academic pretension. 
  Journey through the mind-bending contradictions of a trust-fund philosopher who claimed to solve all philosophical problems (twice!), while making everyone around him miserable. Discover how a man who couldn't maintain a single healthy relationship somehow revolutionized our understanding of language, meaning, and communication. 
  From his early days writing numbered lists so pretentious they make Instagram influencers look humble, to his later career interrupting people to tell them they're using words wrong, this book exposes Wittgenstein in all his paradoxical glory. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll question whether language has any meaning at all—just like Ludwig wanted! 
  Whether you're a philosophy student desperately seeking comic relief, or simply enjoy watching neurotic geniuses get thoroughly roasted, this irreverent guide proves that even the most profound philosophical insights can come from someone you'd absolutely hate to be seated next to at dinner. Warning: Reading this book in public may cause uncontrollable snorting in libraries and concerned looks from serious academics.
