Laurie Notaro was the 2009 Finalist for the Thurber Prize for American Humor for her hilarious collection of essays, The Idiot Girl and the Flaming Tantrum of Death. She is back with a novel, Spooky Little Girl, a wickedly funny revenge tale about a girl who has been wronged by many people and so she comes back from the beyond to exact her wrath. Whatever Notaro writes will have the reader laughing out loud! She is the author of several books, including The Idiot Girls' Action-Adventure Club, I Love Everyone (And other Atrocious Lies), and There's a (Slight) Chance I Might Be Going to Hell, among others. She and her husband live in Eugene, Oregon.
