THE MOST CANCELED BOOK ON TIKTOK — Manic Pixie Egirl is a prophetic chronicle of cults, conspiracies, and the darkest corners of the internet. Across three parallel narratives, Lemcke draws readers into a depraved universe of chronically online camgirls, alternate timelines, and one man’s chaotic quest to be healed.
Neurotic loner and self-diagnosed girl addict Aldon Goodknight has sworn off women altogether, but when a provocative young content creator moves into the apartment above him, his resolve to stay celibate is put to the test. Claiming to be the new messiah of the twenty-first century, the audacious and irresistible Abbie Cadabra is anything but your typical girl next door. Enigmatic, ambitious, and a bit naive, she is determined to become the most esoteric egirl the internet has ever seen.
Aldon soon becomes captivated by her irreverent charm and the unlikely pair set out to create a salacious social media empire, even if it means starting an apocalyptic sex cult in the process. But as their controversial content catapults them to unprecedented levels of fame, a chance encounter with a mysterious book has them scrambling to find a way to reset the 9/11 timeline before a shadowy government organization jumps the entire planet to the darkest timeline.
Intertwined with a tarot-inspired fantasy about a man without a shadow and the tell-all confession of a former top secret government official, Lemcke’s debut novel is a narrative particle accelerator that explores everything from simulation theory to our capacity for redemption in the digital age.
