Abbie Krupnick's debut novel is out now: Holy, the story of young Gus Stevens as he undergoes a psychoanalytic exorcism to regain control of his life. This comes with a high price—he must break away from everything he has ever thought was real. Told from Gus's perspective, the novel touches upon such issues as mental health and finding one's place in the world. Gus is an unreliable narrator - everything he experiences, he accepts as real (well, it is real, isn't it?), although careful readers may pick up on subtle clues as to what's actually going on. It's a whirlwind experience and a tour de force for this first-time author.

The audiobook will be narrated by film and television actor Matt Weight. Mr. Weight has worked on the feature film Hell Town (2015) and the television series Rescue Me (2007), among other roles.

Meanwhile, danger is always hot on his heels in the form of a massive space freighter out for Loman's blood. With just his wits, his friends, and his beat-up cruiser, the Slant Six, Loman sets out on the most dangerous adventure of his life.
