MAKE SURE YOU DIE SCREAMING

ZEE CARLSTROM

When their mother calls with news that their MAGA-pilled, conspiracy-theorist father has gone missing, the newly unemployed queer narrator of Make Sure You Die Screaming does what anyone would do: steals their ex-boyfriend’s BMW and races from Chicago to deep-red Arkansas on a mission to kidnap their estranged father and bring him home.

Now, with a bottle of premixed margarita jiggling in the cupholder and the narrator’s brand-new garbage goth bestie, Yivi, screaming through night terrors in the passenger seat, our hero hurtles toward a family reunion from hell. Along the way, they experiment with Yivi’s mystery pills, elude a relentless stalker, and outrun some cops who believe the narrator committed a tragic murder.

An unflinching interrogation of class rage, economic (im)mobility, gender expression, the rot at the heart of capitalism, and the political bloodbath dividing so many American families, Make Sure You Die Screaming is the loud, funny, suspenseful road trip novel of our times.

“This intense, shapeshifting, nightmarish debut is like a sweatier, sweeter, queerer, and somehow more mullety Natural Born Killers, where all bets are off, all rules crossed out. Even just one line will keep you up all night.
