New Novel: You Feel It Just Below the Ribs
by Jeffrey Cranor & Janina Matthewson

A FASCINATING LAYERING OF FICTION, INVENTION, SATIRE AND SOCIAL CRITIQUE WHICH EXPLORES MUCH MORE THAN JUST THE BACKSTORY OF AN ALTERNATIVE HISTORY.
- KIRKUS (starred-review)

A novel by Night Vale co-writer Jeffrey Cranor and Within the Wires co-writer Janina Matthewson.

You Feel It Just Below the Ribs.jpg

A haunting, provocative novel, You Feel It Just Below the Ribs is a fictional autobiography in an alternate twentieth century that chronicles one woman’s unusual life, including the price she pays to survive and the cost her choices hold for the society she is trying to save. A jarring and uncanny tale of loss, trauma, and the power of human connection and deception, You Feel It Just Below the Ribs is a portrait of a disturbing alternate world eerily within reach.
