“Quirky and wise, funny and harrowing, Jane’s style is unapologetically unique. American Werewolves is a disturbing commentary on our capitalist society that is scarily relevant today. A must-read for fans of Grady Hendrix.” —Shannon Morgan, author of Her Little Flowers “A compulsive read full of sharp, biting wit. American Werewolves peels back the skin of monsters, revealing that not all wolves are hairy on the inside.” —Abigail Taylor, author of Maryneal, 1962 ""Unique and utterly heartwarming. It's a little bit women's fiction, a little bit Stranger Things, but it gave me the hopeful, aching sense of wonder that I got from watching ET: The Extra-Terrestrial the first time. Loved every page!"" –Ruby Dixon, USA Today bestselling author of Ice Planet Barbarians [regarding Here Beside the Rising Tide] “Nothing is as it seems in Jane’s latest. With lyrical prose and detailed character descriptions […] Jane juggles the fantastical with the ordinary, and readers will relish this clever, heartfelt story about friendship and family.” —Booklist [regarding Here Beside the Rising Tide] “Heartfelt, witty, and secretly romantic, On Earth as It Is on Television is a delightful and poignant story about what it is to be human and what we owe each other.” —Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author of The Paradise Problem [regarding On Earth as It Is on Television] ""Like a science-fiction novel that runs in the margins of I Can Has Cheezburger? memes."" —Scientific American [regarding On Earth as It Is on Television] “Jane’s novel subverts the classic first-contact story to explore humanity’s responses to uncertainty in the modern age… [an] energetic and contemporary debut.” —Library Journal (regarding On Earth as It Is on Television ""Weird and sweet, On Earth as It Is on Television is like a 2020s White Noise: loud and colorful Americana with a sprinkle of apocalyptic doom--plus cats. It takes aliens (or an Emily Jane) to help us see our society for the bizarre, sugary, microplastic-poisoned dream it is.” —Edgar Cantero, New York Times bestselling author of Meddling Kids (regarding On Earth as It Is on Television)
