LA Book Launch: Maeve Fly by CJ Leede in conversation with Jean Kyoung Frazier
June 6, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Maeve Fly works as an amusement park princess by day, but by night, this young female serial killer stalks the Sunset Strip–until her nihilistic worldview gets shattered when she falls in love.
With unflinching honesty and blood-soaked glee, CJ Leede explores our fear of loneliness and obsessive impulse to seek mirrors in other people. At the extreme end of that pursuit there is often suffering, disappointment, heartache… but for Maeve there is also desire in the darkness, liberation in the kink, and empowerment in the kill.
