Making Ted Bundy’s Story “Cute” Isn’t Cool, Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile

Zac Efron as Ted Bundy in Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile

Donald Trump’s Tax Information Paints a Picture of a Con Man

Trump applauds himself at a rally.
On Tuesday, the New York Times published their findings regarding ten years of Donald Trump's previously undisclosed tax information–something he has refused to do himself, despite decades of precedent for presidential candidates doing so. It's been clear that he's hiding something (or a number of somethings).

No, We Don’t Need a White Man to Defeat Donald Trump

Joe Biden and Mike Pence shake hands.
Within moments of former Vice President Joe Biden’s formal announcement of his presidential bid, he received a surge of excited media coverage that we’ve yet to see for any of the historic, highly qualified female Democratic presidential candidates, and nearly all of this coverage, whether in the form of op-eds, talk show segments, or news reports, has centered around the racist, sexist concept of “electability.”

Exclusive Artwork Reveal and Excerpt From Keep This to Yourself

Keep this to yourself book cover cropped.
While discussing creative preorder incentives with my publisher, I tossed out the idea of commissioning an LGBTQ artist to come up with a queer twist on the garish, saturated covers of the worn vintage paperbacks I’d loved in high school. They loved the idea, and after a lot of research (there are a lot of talented queer illustrators in the world), we settled on a shortlist. From day one, however, I had one dream artist: the incredible comics artist and illustrator Cat Staggs.
