X-FILES Lovers! Enter to Win WEIRD GIRL AND WHAT’S HIS NAME

Het, X-FILES Lovers! Enter to Win 1 of 5 copies of the IndieFAB YA book of the year, WEIRD GIRL AND WHAT’S HIS NAME by Meagan Brothers.

We at Three Rooms Press read Jezebel’s feature, “The X-Files Revival Doesn’t Have a Single Woman Writer on Staff” and immediately wondered where in all the universe Chris Carter could find a woman writer who also knows a lot of things about the X-Files.

Surely it couldn't be Meagan Brothers, author of Weird Girl and What’s His Name—a YA novel about two best friends obsessed with the X-Files. Nope. Definitely not.

So as we prepare for a brand new season of The X-Files, we’re giving away 5 copies of Weird Girl and What’s His Name on Goodreads! Enter to win a copy of this incredible book by a female X-Files-obsessed writer(!!) about fandom, friendship, and finding one’s place in the world.

WEIRD GIRL was awarded IndieFAB YA Book of the Year 2015, and was also named to Kirkus Reviews Best Teen Books 2015. But don't think it's only for youngsters. Readers young and old love this book.

Here's what folks are saying:

"What could have been a niche novel only for X-Philes is a quirky, thoughtful illumination of identity formation and the difficulty of assigning labels to love." —The Globe and Mail

“Voices are crisply and intimately drawn. Minor characters are equally vibrant . . . Carefully and subtly imagined.” —Kirkus Reviews

"Fanboys and fangirls, rejoice! This wise and witty book is pure teen-geek heaven!" —--J.C. Lillis, author, How to Repair a Mechanical Heart

"Meaningful, original, and truthful. As someone who's been both a weird girl and a what's her name, I heartily endorse this book." —Janice Erlbaum, author, I. Liar and Girlbomb

"Rory and Lula might bond over out-there sci-fi, but their relationship is as real as it gets. To paraphrase their favorite show: The truth is in here." —D.C. Pierson, author, The Boy Who Couldn’t Sleep and Never Had To

Ism Is a Retrovirus

Inheriting Craziness is LIke a Soft Halo of Light

Thomas Fucaloro's spectacular first collection of poetry is a beautiful, raw, intense read. According to Emily Kagan Trenchard, curator of the louderARTS Project, "Thomas Fucaloro’s particular gift is to harness the crazed wisdom at the bottom of the bottle, to scrape a fleck of beauty from the underside of a binge, and to call madness by a name so familiar we can’t help but recognize it in ourselves." In these 57 poems, Fucaloro brings to light new angles of perception of madness, addiction and modern urban living. Each poem takes risks in form and content. As author Jon Sands notes, "To read Thomas is to literally discover each line with him. There's really nothing he won't say. He's as surprised as you are."

DRUNKYARD DOG

DrunkYard Dog by Peter Carlaftes is a collection by a new poetic master who has honed his intense, insightful and inspiring poetic voice on the playgrounds of the Bronx, and the bars of Manhattan. Tales of bartender blues and bliss, injected with hope in a mileau of madness swirl into a powerful poetic cocktail. Carlaftes offers a brilliant poetic voice, filled with drop-dead humor, searing insight and resilient originality, even while resonating with overtones of Bukowski, Baudelaire and Bogart.

TRIUMPH FOR RENT

Playwright Peter Carlaftes presents three compelling, funny and biting dramas in Triumph for Rent: Three Plays (Three Rooms Press, 182 pages, 2010). The plays include Spin-Dry: An hilarious wild ride through a 90s rehab center for celebrities; Hunger: inspired by the Knut Hamsun novel; and Frontier A-Go-Go, a time travel piece uniting the hippie 60s, nerd/rave 90s and techno future. "As with Strindberg, Beckett, or even Satre—Carlaftes' message seems to be something we intuit . . . like music." SF Weekly.

MARY ANDERSON'S ENCORE
