Is It Enough Yet? is a collection of stories that read like Black Mirror episodes of your favourite Millennial music. It’s a delectably dark addition to the weird-girl-lit genre, perfect for fans of Out There by Kate Folk and Kelly Link as well as movies like Ginger Snaps, Hellbender, Thoroughbreds, Raw, I Saw The TV Glow, Knives and Skin.
Blurb:
Everything is always too much and not enough at the same time.
A woman who can edit your life into oblivion. Teen rebellion born in menstrual blood. Cottagegore raves that will make you feel your age. Love so transformative it will make you sick. The pursuit of strange medicine when the body betrays you. A house for living-dead girls. Dinners that are off menu—way off. A body that screams itself bloody (and beautiful) to be seen. Malevolent music for the jilted generation. A woman who is not at one with nature. Reanimators that must repent. Monster-obsessed soulmates who cannot be torn apart. And twins: one a sinner, the other a saint, but how do you tell the difference?
This mixtape of millennial malaise, melancholy, madness, and monstrosity is loosely inspired by the music of The Strokes, The Smashing Pumpkins, Mother Mother, Sufjan Stevens, Placebo, Chvrches, Tegan and Sara, Interpol, Metric, Arctic Monkeys and Taylor Swift.
Emily Flynn-Jones is an award-winning multimedia storyteller who specializes in horror and inclusive representation. She is known for carefully crafted, diverse, and queer-inclusive projects that blend together genres and media for truly unique narratives. Her debut game, a semi-autobiographical tale of witchcraft and womanhood, won the Ubisoft Indies Series competition, while her interactive fiction explores themes of body horror, agency, and mental health. Her debut short story collection, Is It Enough Yet?, comes out in fall 2024.
Equipped with a PhD on death in interactive narratives, Emily draws together horror, magical realism, romance, and science fiction as she peers into the darker recesses of our cultural landscape. Her passion for narrative includes helping others tell their stories as well, with over a decade teaching game designers the art of interactive storytelling, and over a half dozen games produced with inclusive teams that tell the stories of their makers or the communities they represent.
