Funny about death, real about anxiety, witty about the things that worry us the most Emma Gannon, author of OliveSo fundamentally kind that you can feel the warmth coming off each page Rowan Hisayo Buchanan, author of Starling DaysMeet Gilda. She cannot stop thinking about death. Desperate for relief from her anxious mind and alienated from her repressive family, she responds to a flyer for free therapy at a local church and finds herself abruptly hired to replace the deceased receptionist Grace. Its not the most obvious job - shes queer and an atheist for starters - and so in between trying to learn mass, hiding her new maybe-girlfriend and conducting an amateur investigation into Graces death, Gilda must avoid revealing the truth of her mortifying existence.A blend of warmth, deadpan humour, and pitch-perfect observations about the human condition, Everyone in This Room Will Someday Be Dead is a crackling exploration of what it takes to stay afloat in a world where your expiration - and the expiration of those you love - is the only certainty.

When shes not listening to grizzly murder podcasts, shes managing her crippling phobia of bald people and trying hard not to think about her mortifying teenage years - which is hard, when shes lost the password to her old YouTube account and the (many) vlogs that her teen self once uploaded. Shes worried about herself, her depressive mother, and what the deal is with gender reveal parties. But as Enid fumbles her way through her first serious relationship and navigates a new family life with her estranged half-sisters, she starts to worry that someone is following her. As her paranoia spirals out of control, Enid must contend with her mounting suspicion that something is seriously wrong with her...Full of charm, humour and heart, Interesting Facts About Space is a pitch-perfect exploration of the strange ways we try to connect with others, and the power of sharing our secret selves with the people we love.
