2017 British Fantasy Award finalist for Best Newcomer!

Stay Crazy is a mix of what would happen should Philip K. Dick had met a trans-dimensional alien entity in a department store.

"Had Philip K. Dick lived through riot grrrl and the collapse of America's industrial economy, STAY CRAZY would be his memoir. Erica Satifka is a prophet."
-- Nick Mamatas, author of SENSATION and I AM PROVIDENCE.

"Stay Crazy is dark and intense sci-fi with a twist, in turns disturbing, amusing, and enlightening. It's not a book that fits into tidy genre boxes, so kudos to Apex for publishing a book that is that complicated -- and good."
-- Beth Cato, Nebula Award-nominated author of DEEP ROOTS

After a breakdown at college landed Emmeline Kalberg in a mental hospital, she's struggling to get her life on track. She's back in her hometown and everyone knows she's crazy, but the twelve pills she takes every day keep her anxiety and paranoia in check. So when a voice that calls itself Escodex begins talking to Em from a box of frozen chicken nuggets, she's sure that it's real and not another hallucination. Well... pretty sure.

An evil entity is taking over the employees of Savertown USA, sucking out their energy so it can break into Escodex's dimension. Escodex needs Em's help to save his dimension and to keep hers from collapsing. But Em isn't certain she wants to help Escodex. She has other things to worry about, like staying off the Savertown USA bowling team, busting her sister's chops about her newfound religion, and getting out of Clear Falls, PA.

When her coworkers start mysteriously dying, Em realizes that she may be the only one who can stop things from getting worse. Now she must convince her therapist she's not having a relapse and keep her boss from firing her. All while getting her coworker Roger to help enact the plans Escodex conveys to her through the RFID chips in the Savertown USA products. It's enough to make anyone Stay Crazy.
