Publisher Description

Best-selling author MaryJanice Davidson's first nonfiction anthology is a hilarious ride to the dark side and back!

I HAVE A TAPEWORM showcases her columns for USA Today, blog posts, reviews, and recipes.

This collection is Exhibit A for her biting sense of humor and rampant immaturity, from "Abraham Lincoln: A Demon In The Sack" to her scathing take-downs of American Horror Story and Cersei Lannister.

Originally conceived as "A Writer's Life" column for USA Today, MaryJanice chronicles her rise from the trailer park to the New York Times best-seller list, and how accidentally inventing the paranormal chick lit genre changed her life forever.

From her battles with mortal enemies (bats) to the heartbreak of losing a beloved family pet to her worries about the state of Michigan's low self-esteem, MaryJanice tackles spiteful reviewers, vomit euphemisms, Walking Dead fanfic, her defense of Charlaine Harris, and her still-controversial battle with Barnes and Noble.

And when she's not explaining why feminists are wrong about Frank Miller's SIN CITY, she skewers herself just as hard ("I am stupid, stupid, stupid").

Strap in to get a look at how this former model and medical test subject sees the world. You'll laugh, cry, laugh again, and possibly pee a little.
