Young Darla Vogel works at Printopia, a NYC print shop catering to fevered creatives whose passion to release their brainchildren into the world has brought them there to self-publish their novels, ‘ zines, comics, literary journals and more. Though Darla outwardly mocks these curiously confident auteurs, she secretly envies them as she labors away on her own authorial efforts. If you threw Ghost World, Catcher in the Rye, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, with lashings of Timothy Leary and visitations from The Flintstones’ Great Gazoo into Seth Brundle’s telepod from The Fly, the literary mutant baby might be PRINTOPIA! Winner of the UK’s Tripwire Awards for Best Humor Book 2025
