FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT! is a kaleidoscopic tribute to the dissociative, the flailing, the traumatized, and the art we make when we reach the limits of consciousness. Full of play and portmanteau, this is a text whose orientation toward the ‘mysteryseeking’ invites readers someplace dark, dizzy, and wholly unique. — [sarah] Cavar, author of Failure to Comply and Differential Diagnosis.

FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT! reminded me of a youtube comment on an Edward Cullen compilation video from at least 5 years ago that reads “Maybe some thing wrong with me but I feel while watching video Edward Cullen so hot. But I am a boy and will be punished. How strange it is to be anything at all.” – an introspection on what it means to let yourself be loved if they don’t know who you really are, the looming consequences of pursuing freedom, a relinquishing of love, a punishment for your form. — Salem L. Void

Through vivid dialogue with film, music, and video games, FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT! examines the lived experience of reality both on screen and off. It tackles how trauma and dissociation layer through time, space, and media, illustrating how a digital home(s) can be just as haunted as a physical body. The text is electric and unflinching, allowing readers to feel “paralyzed and ethereal.”— dre levant, author of sun eater (Querencia Press ‘23) and icarus rising (kith books ‘24)
