by **Zee Carlstrom** (Author)

**One of NPR's best books of 2025**

**Named one of the hottest debut novels of 2025 by Goodreads**

**"It's _Fear and Loathing_ for the generation devastated by the generation that brought us _Fear and Loathing_." --Torrey Peters, author of _Detransition, Baby_**

**An electrifying debut about a nonbinary corporate burnout embarking on a road trip from Chicago to Arkansas to find their conspiracy-theorist father, who has gone missing**

The newly nameless narrator of _Make Sure You Die Screaming_ has rejected the gender binary, has flamed out with a vengeance at their corporate gig, is most likely brain damaged from a major tussle with their now ex-boyfriend, and is on a bender to end all benders.

A call from their mother with the news that their MAGA-friendly, conspiracy-theorist father has gone missing launches the narrator from Chicago to deep red Arkansas in a stolen car. Along the way, the narrator and their new bestie--a self-proclaimed "garbage goth" with her own emotional baggage (and someone on her tail)--unpack the narrator's childhood and a recent personal loss that they refuse to face head-on.

An unflinching interrogation of class rage, economic (im)mobility, gender expression, and the rot at the heart of capitalism, _Make Sure You Die Screaming_ is the loud, funny, tragic, suspenseful road trip novel of our times.
