This is painfully true, but Dore will surprise you! She's played by #VanessaKirby in #RonHoward's forthcoming movie, Eden, and I can't wait to see how she handles the role.
Only like 20 pages into @abbottkahler.bsky.social’s new nonfiction book, Eden Undone, and I already want to shake Dore. She is the friend who wants to convince you how great her boyfriend Friederich is. And you have to break it to her that he is an utter psychopath, not a misunderstood genius.

The paperback for WHERE YOU END is out! The NYTBR says it's “exquisitely written.” A New Yorker writer calls it “Donna Tartt meets David Lynch.” Good Morning America named it a Buzz Pick. Stephen King wore a rabbit mask in its honor.

Twins! Amnesia! A cult! And inspired by a true story, to boot.

My latest Wicked History substack post: Patricia Highsmith's various inspirations for The Talented Mr. Ripley, including a newspaper article about a man who was spotted in a bar hours after his own funeral. It only gets stranger (and more Highsmith-ian) from there: tinyurl.com/27umju26
