The instant New York Times bestseller from “queen of the geeks” Felicia Day, You’re Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) is a “relentlessly funny and surprisingly inspirational” (Forbes.com) memoir about her unusual upbringing, her rise to internet stardom, and embracing her weirdness to find her place in the world.

When Felicia Day was a girl, all she wanted was to connect with other kids (desperately). Growing up in the Deep South, where she was “home-schooled for hippie reasons,” she looked online to find her tribe. The Internet was in its infancy and she became an early adopter at every stage of its growth—finding joy and unlikely friendships in the emerging digital world. Her relative isolation meant that she could pursue passions like gaming, calculus, and 1930’s detective novels without shame. Because she had no idea how “uncool” she really was.

But if it hadn’t been for her strange background—the awkwardness continued when she started college at sixteen, with Mom driving her to campus every day—she might never have had the naïve confidence to forge her own path. Like when she graduated as valedictorian with a math degree and then headed to Hollywood to pursue a career in acting despite having zero contacts. Or when she tired of being typecast as the crazy cat-lady secretary and decided to create her own web series before people in show business understood that online video could be more than just cats chasing laser pointers.

Felicia’s rags-to-riches rise to Internet fame launched her career as one of the most influen­tial creators in new media. Ever candid, she opens up about the rough patches along the way, recounting battles with writer’s block, a full-blown gaming addiction, severe anxiety, and depression—and how she reinvented herself when overachieving became overwhelming.

Showcasing Felicia’s “engaging and often hilarious voice” (USA TODAY), You’re Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) is proof that everyone should celebrate what makes them different and be brave enough to share it with the world, because anything is possible now—even for a digital misfit.

Ghost Town Adventures

If sorcery is your cup of tea, if you think that the things that go bump in the night should go bump in the twilight and day too, then welcome to Ghost Town! Not long ago, its ethereal population had been enjoying their quiet lives… when along came the Playwright, and things went from spectral to spooky in a hurry. Little is known about him, but many have been caught up in the fear-and-dread play he is staging. Like any good play, it is loaded with bad, dreadfully bad villains. Who do you think are made to act them out? The good ghosts. These gentle apparitions who wouldn’t hurt a living thing now follow the Playwright’s lead in his mystical spectacle… and nowhere in Ghost Town is safe anymore. Spirits and souls, spectres and apparitions, and who knows what else are being forced to act in unwilling malice—for who knows what dreadful purpose!

You and the young sorceress Anna are Ghost Town’s only hope, the best and only heroes the ghosts have this side of the twilight. Together with the sorceress, you will overcome challenges, connect dots and crack cases, until you ultimately unravel the greatest mystery of all! Then and only then will the spectral beings know peace again, the good triumph over the evil, and the dreary fog of a thousand heartaches dissipate into so much nothingness… So tarry not! You are the dreadnaught hero Ghost Town needs, and the one it deserves!
