Ab(solutely) Normal: Short Stories That Smash Mental Health Stereotypes

Its stories include a teen activist dealing with anxiety and PTSD connected to protest, a vampire whose social anxiety complicates saving his town, and a girl whose letters to a former boyfriend address angry outbursts related to PMDD. Another story follows a boy whose uncontrollable crying helps make space for someone else’s healing.
