Bøger af Zilla Novikov

Life is hard. Some days are at the absolute limit of what we can manage. Some days are worse than that. Eating-picking a meal, making it, putting it into your facehole-can feel like an insurmountable challenge. We wrote this cookbook to share our coping strategies. It has recipes to make when you've worked a 16-hour day, when you can't stop crying and you don't know why, when you accidentally woke up an Eldritch abomination at the bottom of the ocean. But most of all, this cookbook exists to help sad bastards like us feel a little less alone at mealtimes.The Sad Bastard Cookbook is funny, realistic, and kind. It's vegetarian/vegan. It's a community-built project. And the e-book is free on the Night Beats website. It's hard to survive late capitalism and we want to help. Content notes: Mental and physical illness, disordered eating, and dark humour throughout, as well as occasional mentions of alcohol, swearing, and political references. If you have specific food triggers, some recipes may be unpalatable to you.

City planner by day, tired climate activist by day off, aspiring writer Zilla Novikov's query letters quickly devolve into a darkly funny exploration of her own psyche. As the rejections pile up, her novel blurbs and biographies grow increasingly unhinged, while Zilla discovers that the road to bestseller-dom is paved with neoliberal hellscapes.

She's got a doctorate and nothing to lose.He's got a time machine and a hot wife.Which is deadlier, love or science? In a caustically funny, post-modern Gothic, Dr. Fraçois Gagnon offers Eddy Courant a postdoc position studying time loops. The chance to revive her stalling research career pulls Eddy from a deep depression. She loses herself to the thrill of science, and to the simpler pleasures in life - like flirting with her boss and seducing his wife. Until the men funding the research demand more ground-breaking data to justify keeping her on board - after all, they have a war to start. Eddy is plunged into ever darker and more violent acts to appease the funders. So long as she's employed, she doesn't have to face the consequences of replaying countless deaths - including her own. But keeping track of shifting timelines while her own mental state deteriorates means losing the ability to tell real life from its shadow. Can Eddy find loves, stop the arms dealer, and save her sanity - or even one out of three?
