Book Description
Eric Holliday landed what seemed like a dream job, caring for the Chateau Femme through the winter months when Chateau Femme is closed each year. The job is going to be perfect: solitude, relaxation, quiet… at least that’s how it looks on paper. But Eric is only alone for a few hours before he gets his reality check. The extreme, unpredictable storms are constantly knocking out the power and blowing open windows. After a single night, Eric is snowed in, feeling suddenly claustrophobic in the 24,000 square foot lodge. And to make matters worse, he’s not actually alone; he’s stuck in that lodge with a ghost. He’s never been a believer in the paranormal, but there’s no other way to explain the strange noises, the moving objects, the piano that keeps playing itself… and there’s no other way to explain why Eric’s personal clothes have disappeared, or why girly outfits keep showing up in his little room. The ghost seems to want him to dress up like a chick, and with nothing else to wear (and cold weather blowing into the lodge), Eric doesn’t have many other options. Not to mention, who wants to get on a ghost’s bad side?

Publisher: Not a Cult
ISBN: 9781945649820
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 80
Book Description
Abrāo's work has been described by The Outline as "an existential funhouse of familiar thoughts" that "publicly grapples with pillars of its own existence within the influencer economy." Alongside The Outline, her work has been featured in publications such as The Atlantic, Dazed, The Harvard Crimson, and The Face, among others. In response to Abrāo's work, Dazed Magazine wrote, "Gabi debunks the myth that wellness is the preserve of the privileged, and in doing so hands it back to the masses," and Notes on Shapeshifting is a reminder that we are agents of the change that we seek. Gabi Abrāo's Notes on Shapeshifting is an ode to existing in physical form, fully aware of the changing energy that flows through every aspect of it. As Abrāo writes, "tapping into the ether body to take a break from the demands of the earth body, / making peace with ephemerality, / lightness, / shapeshifting". Throughout this collection, you are invited to travel through various states; pure infatuation to heartbreak, confidence to defeat, from a skepticism for living to a full-on trust in it. And Notes on Shapeshifting yearns to soothe and arouse along the way.
