All You Need is Morbid — my travel memoir exploring the world from San Francisco to Japan, by way of Paris, Prague, and Pompeii, in the company of my husband Mason — was chosen for the Featured Nonfiction list on Wattpad in August 2014.

It won one of the first ever HQ Love Watty Awards the following year.

Join Mason and me as we poke through ossuaries, love hotels, medical museums, old graveyards, and hot new restaurants — and almost get sacrificed to a volcano.

The book is assembled from my new and previously published morbid travel essays, which have appeared in Morbid Curiosity magazine and online at TripLit, Gothic.Net, and Scoutie Girl.
