The award-winning author of The Miseducation of Cameron Post makes her adult debut with this highly imaginative and original gothic horror-comedy centered around a cursed New England boarding school for girls--a wickedly whimsical celebration of the art of storytelling, sapphic love, and the rebellious female spirit

Our story begins in 1902, at the Brookhants School for Girls. Flo and Clara, two impressionable students, are obsessed with each other and with a daring young writer named Mary MacLane, the author of a scandalous bestselling memoir. To show their devotion to Mary, the girls establish their own private club and call it the Plain Bad Heroine Society. They meet in secret in a nearby apple orchard, the setting of their wildest happiness and, ultimately, of their macabre deaths. This is where their bodies are later discovered with a copy of Mary's book splayed beside them, the victims of a swarm of stinging, angry yellow jackets. Less than five years later, the Brookhants School for Girls closes its doors forever--but not before three more people mysteriously die on the property, each in a most troubling way.

Over a century later, the now abandoned and crumbling Brookhants is back in the news when wunderkind writer Merritt Emmons publishes a breakout book celebrating the queer, feminist history surrounding the "haunted and cursed" Gilded Age institution. Her bestselling book inspires a controversial horror film adaptation and a searing piece of Hollywood satire, starring celebrity actor and lesbian it girl Harper Harper playing the ill-fated heroine Flo, oppo-site B-list actress and former child star Audrey Wells as Clara. But as Brookhants opens its gates once again, and our three modern her-oines arrive on set to begin filming, past and present become grimly entangled--or perhaps just grimly exploited--and soon it's impossible to tell where the curse leaves off and Hollywood begins.

A story within a story within a story and featuring black-and-white period-inspired illustrations, Plain Bad Heroines is a devilishly haunting, modern masterwork of metafiction that manages to combine the ghostly sensibility of Sarah Waters with the dark imagination of Marisha Pessl and the sharp humor and incisive social commentary of Curtis Sittenfeld into one laugh-out-loud funny, spellbinding, and wonderfully luxuriant read.

"Full of Victorian sapphic romance, metafictional horror, biting misandrist humor, Hollywood intrigue, and multiple timeliness--all replete with evocative illustrations that are icing on a deviously delicious cake." -O, THE OPRAH MAGAZINE

Still soft after multiple washes
With a kid, removable cases are a must. These have lasted countless washes and are still soft and comfortable. Love the color and the process. Experienced zero smell, easy to install, and fit the inserts perfectly.

Just the cases but very soft and cute
They are great quality material. Comes with two cases, not the pillows though. Very soft and look nice with almost everything. Good value and fits standard square pillows great.

Super cute
Got these “pillow cases” for our bed as accessory pillows. They are so soft and the light pink is beautiful. I have the matching blanket which is amazing as well. You do have to buy pillows for the inside. Remember when buying insert pillows they should be two inches bigger than the case. For example if the case is 18” your pillow should be 20”. That ensures a full puffy look.

Excellent quality; fit may be tight
The quality of these covers is very good. The feel is soft and warm. The color is rich. They wash easily and well. My only problem is the fit. My 15” throw pillows are overstuffed, and they won’t fit in these covers. If your pillows are not overstuffed, I highly recommend these.
