## Resource

Sarah is a Hugo Award Winning and Bestselling author of speculative fiction, short stories, essays, comics, and more. Their 2025 novel Spread Me , a darkly seductive tale of an otherworldly intruder at an arctic research station, was named one of the Best Horror Books of 2025 by Vulture, and their new book, Make Me Better , just dropped in stores this week. We sat down to play We Did Start the Fire , an RPG of the people who ended the world, and how they live with themselves after the fact. 🐸 ALL HAIL MARIGOLD. 🐸 SARAH GAILEY: https://sarahgailey.com/ MAKE ME BETTER: https://bookshop.org/p/books/make-me-better-a-novel-sarah-gailey/f4adb70f82360936?ean=9781250851758&next=t WE DID START THE FIRE: https://morganeilish.itch.io/we-did-start-the-fire ALL MY FANTASY CHILDREN: https://moonshotpods.com/all-my-fantasy-children/ PARTY OF ONE DISCORD: https://discordapp.com/invite/SxpQKmK SUPPORT JEFF ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/jeffstormer FOLLOW JEFF ON TWITCH: https://www.twitch.tv/gmjeffstormer THEME SONG: Mega Ran feat.
