I walked through it so many times that I think they turned it off as if to say ‘that’s enough!’ Lmao

Found this spectacular interactive exhibit called Thresholds by Michel de Broin at the Arsenal Contemporary Museum this weekend. Utterly giddy to walk through it again and again in what felt like a theatre set of Coup de Grâce.

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

Coup de Grâce Coup de Grâce [Ajram, Sofia] on Amazon.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Coup de Grâce

COUP DE GRÂCE is an escherian fever dream, a labyrinth of self-loathing, a maze of made of concrete and memories. At times I felt like I might have a panic attack (complimentary). You should check it out.

COUP DE GRÂCE is, to its benefit, a short book, but for a book about being trapped in an inescapable space that all looks the same, it keeps you guessing as to what’s possible and what’s next. A specific structural change near the end had me yelling “fuck you” at the book (complimentary).

Ajram might as well have written COUP DE GRÂCE specifically for me. A main character with suicidal ideation, wandering through a recursive, liminal space made of brutalist architecture, finding cracks in the foundation that lead to—something unimaginable. It’s EXTREMELY my shit.

COUP DE GRÂCE, by @sofiaajram.bsky.social

Vicken’s going to kill himself. He has a plan and everything. But when he gets off the subway to finally commit the act, he finds himself in an endlessly looping train station, concrete hallways that go nowhere yet keep unfolding, with no exit to be seen—

Andrew!! Thank you so much. Means a lot to me when it resonates with its intended audience.

The new @shortwavebooks.bsky.social edition of SLEEP ALONE is releasing almost exactly three years after the original (within one day!) and that’s pretty damn magical and you should totally preorder a copy for some of that magic 🌟

Just finished reading Coup de Grâce by @sofiaajram.bsky.social (never skip a @scumbelievable.bsky.social recommendation guys!) and let’s just say it was the perfect read before starting my new job at STM… I am truly in awe and will think about it for a long time!

Some women fujo out with M/M media because they haven’t yet discovered they’re trans men or genderfluid. Something to chew on!

I realized I rarely get to hear Acknowledgements in audiobooks. Is there a reason why they’re omitted? I feel like sometimes they add much needed context or act like a nice airlock between the story and return to reality, but I can’t recall the last time I heard one included.

It was tough because all audiobook platforms handle chapter breaks differently. I think we handled it the best way we could. Thank youuu!!

The audiobook of Coup de Grâce is out today!

I got to speak with the production team about how to tackle the last act’s format (no spoilers—IYKYK!) but I haven’t listened to it yet. I think I understand actors who won’t rewatch their work in a movie now.

Yesss!! I’ve seen this because I’m totally obsessed. I cannot stand thrill ride drops (I passed out on this one!) but the unique story behind this ride is so phenomenal I had to ride it and promptly began obsessively research it.
