Make Sure You Die Screaming


When their mother calls with news that their MAGA-pilled, conspiracy-theorist father has gone missing, the newly unemployed queer narrator of Make Sure You Die Screaming does what anyone would do: steals their ex-boyfriend's BMW and races from Chicago to deep-red Arkansas on a mission to kidnap their estranged father and bring him home. Now, with a bottle of premixed margarita jiggling in the cupholder and the narrator's brand-new garbage goth bestie, Yivi, screaming through night terrors in the passenger seat, our hero hurtles toward a family reunion from hell. Along the way, they experiment with Yivi's mystery pills, elude a relentless stalker and outrun some cops who believe the narrator committed a tragic murder. An unflinching interrogation of class rage, economic (im)mobility, gender expression, the rot at the heart of capitalism and the political bloodbath dividing so many American families, Make Sure You Die Screaming is the loud, funny, suspenseful road trip novel of our times.

‘If you loved The Twilight Zone, this is for you. It's a mind-blower.’ STEPHEN KING "The future of warfare – if not humanity – changed on a hot August day on the grounds of a naval base more than 1,000 miles from the nearest ocean. The discovery involved a single scientist and a model airplane." When every pilot in the country receives a call from their mother begging them not to fly, air travel comes to a halt. But none of the mothers remember making these calls – and some weren’t alive to make them. As senior officials scramble for answers, a teenager named Charlie makes online documentaries about her new home, a place where locals insist they saw passengers survive a plane crash, only to be reported as dead. And, unknown to Charlie, a place where renowned scientist Marty Hazelton once conducted experiments for making planes disappear… With the growing threats of nuclear weaponry and artificial intelligence, what begins as a ground stop becomes a threat to civilization as we know it in this high-octane, political thriller perfect for fans of Dan Brown and Frederick Forsyth. ‘Part Cold War thriller, part Twilight Zone episode and part Stephen King-like yarn about regular people in extraordinary circumstances.’ NEW YORK TIMES –––––––––––––––– PRAISE FOR SCOTT CARSON ‘One of the best of the best.’ MICHAEL CONNELLY ‘Terrific suspense.’ DEAN KOONTZ ‘DEPARTURE 37 is a rollicking, and at times terrifying, mashup of the 20th and 21st century political, nuclear, and technological tensions and ambitions.
