Zefyr Lisowski's Uncanny Valley Girls is a collection of essays exploring horror, survival, and love through the lens of contemporary culture and personal experience. Through sharp, witty analysis, Lisowski examines how horror and dark comedy help us process trauma and find meaning. The collection becomes both cultural criticism and personal meditation, showing how the strange and unsettling can illuminate truths about survival and connection.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Lisowski understands that horror isn't just entertainment, it's a way of seeing and surviving. These essays remind us that the most important cultural criticism comes from people willing to take pop culture seriously and find depth in the unexpected.
