“The Devil in Ohio” Annoyed the Hell Out Of Me But There’s a Cute Little Queer Storyline

a pair of painterly pale legs rest against an amethyst colored background with a suburban town behind them. Execerpted text from Drew's dream journal is layered in different colors in the background. The excerpt is "March 14, 2020 I’m in my high school auditorium. It’s dark and late at night and I’m really scared. I get a call from someone and it’s really unsettling like a phone call in a slasher movie. Then I realize the person on the phone might be behind the curtain. Part of me knows they probably aren’t and I feel crazy for being scared but I am so scared."

An image made of two repeating images of the author Sarah Thankam Mathews photo and the cover of her book All This Could Be Different. The author is a South Asian woman with long dark hair wearing a red and black boldly patterned top and orange earrings. She is looking at the viewer. The cover of all this could be different features a painting of a crowded room of a diverse array of people all interacting, drinking, talking, sitting, standing, leaning on each other. It is very colorful.
