<strong>In this rowdy, frank reflection on illness, fame, sex, and everything in between, the remarkable mind behind the hit series <em>Girls </em>and the bestselling author of <em>Not That Kind of Girl </em>asks whether fulfilling her creative ambitions has been worth the pain.</strong> <br/><br/>For the last decade, as she's spent countless hours in doctor's waiting rooms searching for diagnoses, treatments, and relief, being the owner and operator of Lena Dunham's body has felt, as she puts it, 'like towing a wrecked car across town at midnight.' It's not easy dragging a wrecked car anywhere, much less to the Met Gala while sewn into a gold lame corset. Or to the set of the hit show that you - as a twenty-five-year-old - are writing, directing, producing, and starring in. Or to the White House, the Golden Globes, or your publicist's office to discuss the latest internet disaster. But Dunham does it - even if it means interminable hospital stays, vomiting in the bathroom when she's meant to be meeting Oprah, or terrifying those closest to her - because she can no longer tell the difference between fighting to do what she loves and being a servant to her own ambition. All the while, she is holding out for a love that can withstand her personal and public challenges and, more than anything, yearning to feel like herself again - if only she could remember who that self was. <br/><br/>As Dunham takes us through her journey, tracking her rise to fame - from selling the pilot of <em>Girls </em>to the present - in three acts, it becomes clear that the spotlight casts long shadows, distorting the relationships she once held dear and isolating everyone in its glare. When an endless supply of drugs can't protect you from pain - and begins to control your every move - being famous doesn't stand a chance against the darker corners of the human experience. <br/><br/>In <em>Famesick</em>, Dunham asks herself what the cost of fulfilling her dreams has really been, and whether it was worth it. What she finds is deeper than physical relief, and more lasting, as she learns to live with what she can't change and turn her regrets into wisdom that can carry her forward, as she reconnects to what, and who, she loves.

<b>A chilling supernatural revenge novella from the acclaimed author of <i>Wake Up and Open Your Eyes</i>. Perfect for fans of Joe Hill and Delilah S. Dawson.</b><br/><br/>At sixty-six years old, Winston Kemper has always been a nonentity. No one notices him. His simple existence barely registers for those who come into contact with him. Some call him feeble-minded. He is a janitor at the local church, a groundskeeper by default, and that's it. No friends, no family. When he's done with work, he returns home-a remote, single room apartment located above a garage-and that is where his true work begins.<br/><br/>Winston Kemper is a collector of voices, and his magnum opus-The Butterfly Girls-is a sprawling epic of untapped imagination. It has no single canvas, no particular frame. It is everywhere-scribbled on the walls, the floor, and countless notebooks.<br/><br/>Winston is creating a fantasia which exists in words, images and blood. As part of his 'art' he has been murdering forgotten women. Poor souls who slip through the cracks of society, who no one's looking for. Mothers, sisters, daughters to someone, but no more.<br/><br/>Winston takes their lives, their voices.<br/><br/>But now he can hear them. They whisper to him. They talk of revenge.<br/><br/>Winston Kemper might not believe in ghosts, but he is about to learn they are very real. And they are very, very angry.
