“I'm so happy this collection exists. I feel drunk with love for these stories. They're so funny and weird and true.” —Sheila Heti Five stories―several as long as novellas―introduce the world to Jen George, a writer whose furiously imaginative new voice calls to mind Donald Barthelme and Leonora Carrington no less than Kathy Acker and Chris Kraus. In “Guidance/The Party,” an ethereal alcoholic “Guide” in robes and flowing hair appears to help a thirty-three-year-old woman prepare a party for her belated adulthood; “Take Care of Me Forever” tragically lambasts the medical profession as a ship of fools afloat in loneliness and narcissism; “Instruction” chronicles a season in an unconventional art school called The Warehouse, where students divide their time between orgies, art critiques, and burying dead racehorses. Combining slapstick, surrealism, erotica, and social criticism, Jen George's sprawling creative energy belies the secret precision and unexpected tenderness of everything she writes.

"Growing up on Cape Cod in the 1960s, Liza Rodman was a lonely little girl. During the summers, while her mother worked days in a local motel and danced most nights in the Provincetown bars, her babysitter--the kind, handsome handyman at the motel where her mother worked--took her and her sister on adventures in his truck. He bought them popsicles and together, they visited his 'secret garden' in the Truro woods ... Everyone thought he was just a 'great guy.' But there was one thing she didn't know: their babysitter was a serial killer. Some of his victims were buried--in pieces--right there, in his garden in the woods"--

Adventures in Babysitting meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer in this funny, action-packed novel about a coven of witchy babysitters who realize their calling to protect the innocent and save the world from an onslaught of evil. Seventeen-year-old Esme Pearl has a babysitters club. She knows it's kinda lame, but what else is she supposed to do? Get a job? Gross. Besides, Esme likes babysitting, and she's good at it. And lately Esme needs all the cash she can get, because it seems like destruction follows her wherever she goes. Let's just say she owes some people a new tree. Enter Cassandra Heaven. She's Instagram-model hot, dresses like she found her clothes in a dumpster, and has a rebellious streak as gnarly as the cafeteria cooking. So why is Cassandra willing to do anything, even take on a potty-training two-year-old, to join Esme's babysitters club? The answer lies in a mysterious note Cassandra's mother left her: "Find the babysitters. Love, Mom." Turns out, Esme and Cassandra have more in common than they think, and they're about to discover what being a babysitter really means: a heroic lineage of superpowers, magic rituals, and saving the innocent from seriously terrifying evil. And all before the parents get home.

"You're a damned good sitter, Alice," James said as they drove. "I'm glad we found you." "Thank you, Mr. Masterson," Alice said. "I'm glad, too. I'm very fond of you." "We're fond of you, too, honey," he said. That was all very nice, but it wasn't getting her any closer to her goal. He was just going to go on being affectionate in a soppy way if she didn't make some kind of move. As they rounded a sharp corner, an inspiration came to her. She squeaked and fell against him, rubbing his arm. She stayed there as they completed the turn, clutching his thigh as if to keep her balance. "Oh, gosh, sorry," she cried. James flashed her a quick grin. "That's all right," he said. I don't mind being grabbed by a pretty girl. Alice gathered her nerve and slipped her hand right onto his crotch. They were driving straight again, but she didn't move away from him. James moaned and quickly pulled over to the side of the road, leaving the motor running. "Young lady," he said hoarsely, "what in hell do you think you're doing?" "Just what it feels like," Alice said softly. "I think you're so sexy, James. Couldn't we make out a bit?" James Masterson swallowed hard. He'd had the hots for their sexy eighteen-year-old babysitter ever since he first saw her. His mind raced. He knew Amy, knew she'd be sound asleep for the rest of the night. She wouldn't notice how late he got in. "Sure, honey," he said. "Just let me find a better place to park." With lascivious husbands, their naughty but inexperienced sons, her boyfriend, and even a group of horny bikers, Alice is going to delve deeper than ever before into utmost debauchery. As she gives herself over every inch and aperture, willing and wanton to the wildest erotic abandons, how far is this nubile nymph and her curiously eager body ready to go?
