A Note From the Publisher

My name is Jacob Dallas-Main. I am a graduate of Georgia College’s creative writing program and live in Atlanta, Georgia. I am a worker, a socialist organizer, and, by very late night, a writer. My friends say I don't get enough sleep...I can't imagine why.

I hope my work spreads community, solidarity, resistance against fascism, and hope for a better world. I also hope you have fun reading it!

I co-host the premier podcast for silly, socialist book lovers, “The Socialist Shelf.”

In the radical spirit of Octavia Butler, Jacob not only asks what is to be done, but also reminds us that the only way out is through together.
