Monsters of Modern Literature

Electric Lit is just $4,000 away from our year-end fundraising goal of $35,000! We need to hit this target to get us through the rest of 2025, and balance the budget for 2026. Please give today! DONATE NOW.

Who wants candy for Halloween when you can get trading cards of your favorite un-dead writers? From the spooky mind of Lincoln Michel, these pun-filled portraits show literary heavyweights in their most monstrous form, like Thomas Python, Roboto Bolaño, and Bone Didion.

They’re just $5 on Etsy and make a perfect halloween treat for you boyfriend or ghoulfriend. Collect them all!
