Kathleen Hale has been known to stalk people from time to time. Not recently, of course, and only online. Well, mostly online.

Six extraordinary essays.

In "Catfish," she recounts a standoff with a caustic Goodreads reviewer who writes under an alias, spurring Hale on a treacherous Instagram investigation that ends badly at the reviewer's house. In "Prey," she tells the troubling story of her assault at a massage parlor in the days before her fresh-man year at Harvard, sending her to seek shelter in the library, where she spends hours researching and memorizing the weak spots of various dangerous animals.

From a fresh gonzo American voice, a captivating and hilarious collection of essays unlike anything you’ve ever read before, exploring sexual assault, online obsession, motherhood, and the best way to kill a feral hog.
