girl thing

A debut short story collection from Morghen Tidd about girl stuff, like dealing with your therapist, trying to get sober, and ghosts. You know, girl things.

"don't let the title fool you, girl thing by morghen tidd is no light frolic; it carries the massive weight of young desire, that all-consuming feeling of unrequited love, uncertainty, and inextinguishable angst: those feelings we belittle in women, too often referred to as 'girls.' reading these stories felt like revisiting my youth in a funhouse mirror-with the same amount of self-destructive behavior and loneliness and lust, only with much more depth and poetic artistry. this book is a mood.

"morghen tidd's girl thing is a haunted and haunting collection. Like marguerite duras and mary gaitskill using a ouija board to channel stories of young women's lives past and future, girl thing excavates what it means to live in a body in crystalline prose and wandering, mutating forms. this is a special debut."
