Are you sure something's wrong? Or are you just hysterical? Aseptic and Faintly Sadistic is rage-made-art, an unsettling meditation that also serves as a charitable platform to support abortion rights in the United States. Inside are twenty-six haunting speculative tales that explore the social, political, and personal dimensions of hysteria. Women who are convicted of sexual transgressions are forced to become living seed mounds. A lonely young man makes his perfect girl out of caulk and endeavors to teach her about the wonders of the world. The poor barter for health insurance by serving as living batteries for the elite. In this anthology of feminist dark fiction, presented by CHM, author and editor Jolie Toomajan has curated a collection of nightmares from both award-winning and emerging writers, including Hailey Piper, Christi Nogle, Joe Koch, Kelsea Yu, Laura Cranehill, and more. Proceeds will benefit the Chicago Abortion Fund
