Out now from Smith Street Books, Deep-sea Creeps takes you on an expedition through some of the most mystifying exes, from The Self-Proclaimed “Nice Guy” to The Egomaniac and even The Ex Who Wanted To Break Up (But Wanted You To Do It) — complete with colorful 19th century illustrations. It’s the perfect book for anyone who has one or more terrible exes, or plans to some day! It’s also one of Vulture’s top 10 comedy books of the year, and it recently received a starred review from my mom.

cover of the book Jokes To Offend Men, by Allison Kelley, Danielle Kraese, Kate Herzlin, and Ysabel Yates

Co-written with Ali Kelley, Kate Herzlin, & Ysabel Yates, Jokes to Offend Men (Andrews McMeel, 2022) transforms classic joke setups into sharp commentary about sexism. A cutting, cathartic spin on the old-fashioned joke book, it was written for anyone who’s ever been told to “lighten up, it’s just a joke!”

Inspired by our viral McSweeney’s piece “Jokes I’ve Told That My Male Colleagues Didn’t Like”), Jokes to Offend Men was named Vulture’s #2 comedy book of the year, and New York Magazine classified it as “highbrow brilliant” in its Approval Matrix.
