This book is a fantastic, dark, and intense read. If you missed it in 2019, you can rectify that now. (Disclaimer: I have yet to read anything by S.P. that I did not love. She is that good.)

Ebert recognized satirical humor. Siskel could be prudish and overly serious.

My weird girl lit novel got a STARRED REVIEW in Publishers Weekly! 🤩 "Using aliens to explore alienation, SHE ISN'T HERSELF TONIGHT brilliantly turns abduction narratives on their heads. Piper continues to outdo herself.“ out October 27 from Saga! 🛸 www.publishersweekly.com/9781668077122

She Isn’t Herself Tonight
Hailey Piper. Saga, $18 trade paper (256p) ISBN 978-1-6680-7712-2
The latest foray into supernatural horror from Bram Stoker award winner Piper (A Game in Yellow) offers an enthralling twist on the classic alien abduction plot. At age 30, Rabbit (a reclaimed childhood nickname) is eagerly awaiting the return of the aliens, or “Guests,” as she refers to them, that first came for her at age 10 and then again at age 20. She has never felt truly understood, not by her mother, who paraded her around local churches as a child to tell the story of her first abduction—substituting the aliens for angels—nor her recent ex-boyfriend, Leo, who accused her of being “too much work.” As she reels from the breakup, she takes comfort in knowing that the “Guests,” the only ones who have ever made her feel safe and cared for, will be returning soon. Piper mines a lot of tension from Rabbit’s yearning for her abductors, making readers just as anxious for their arrival as Rabbit herself, even as, in the meantime, Rabbit’s body undergoes a mysterious, possibly extraterrestrial transformation. Using aliens to explore alienation, this brilliantly turns abduction narratives on their heads. Piper continues to outdo herself. Agent: Lane Heymont, Tobias Literary. (Oct.)

Detection software is a con. Those who believe it works are getting suckered while thinking they're righteously punishing someone who deserves it. The damn stuff says Emily Dickinson, famously deceased long before modern computing, used this generative junk. It cannot be relied on to tell on itself

Some would choose multigenerational or group living and some would not. Right now we push every generation to buy a home. Not because it's right for everyone. Child care and elder care are concerns for some families and not others.

S.P. Miskowski @spmiskowski.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Excellent questions. Clearly it won't work for everyone. But the overwhelming shift to independence has created a set of social problems we're not showing signs of solving.

S.P. Miskowski @spmiskowski.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Confronting lies openly won't make you popular, but being truthful in your own mind (not accepting what others say about themselves as automatically true) can bring clarity.

For example, the bullying co-worker who gets angry when their kid is bullied. Or the person who brags about how good their life is when they're obviously suffering.

S.P. Miskowski @spmiskowski.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

For a depressed person, facing an ugly truth may be hard but it's healthier and more empowering than being forced to lie. The more you have to pretend to be fine, the worse you feel. It's better to confront what you know to be hypocrisy.

Controversial idea of the week: A return to multi-generational housing could save civilization. Not recommended for people whose families are monstrous, of course. It's okay to be on your own, but should all of us aspire to own a big house we (ultimately) only share with one other person?

A common, unintentional mistake non-depressed people make with depressed loved ones is trying to show them how to be more like the non-depressed. Essentially the message is: Be more like me. In other words, confirming their suspicion that they're not good enough. AND encouraging masking.

It's flash fiction. By me. There's a lake, and an accurate depiction of early '00s Bangalore stoner culture.
