The Book of X — story and features

The Book of X follows Cassie, a young woman born with her stomach twisted into a knot, whose interior life transforms everyday experiences into surreal, sometimes brutal imagery. From a childhood on the family meat farm to a cramped city desk job and the complexity of early love, this novel threads domestic realism with dreamlike visions — rivers of thighs, men for sale, and fields of throats — to craft a haunting portrait of bodily otherness and social displacement. Readers who enjoy psychological depth and inventive prose will appreciate how Etter twines the ordinary and the uncanny to reveal truths about desire, family, and identity.

Ripe — story and features

Ripe picks up Cassie’s story a year into a crushing dream job at a Silicon Valley startup. Etter explores modern capitalism’s contradictions — obscene wealth set against houselessness, burnout culture, and ethical erosion — through vivid, unsettling scenes: coworkers’ complaints about snacks while people bathe in the bay, public acts of desperation, and a persistent black hole that mirrors Cassie’s depression and anxiety. Ripe is a piercing examination of contemporary work life and mental health that reads as both urgent social critique and intimate psychological study.
