For ten years Jennifer Robin would wake up and post her dreams on social media. Yes, those dreams. This slim volume contains a selection of them. Yes, we know other people’s dreams are boring, don’t make any sense. These are different. You Only Bend Once with a Spoonful of Mercury is the secret story of the Twentieth Century, and why we are where we are now. Fairy tales. Cautionary Tales. 3-Second Disaster Epics. Robin’s narrator wanders through an apocalyptic landscape where she meets tentacled ace reporters, joins an Alice Cooper cult, and learns how dangerous it is to reach for pretty stones.
