“Earth Angel is vigorous, hilarious, and demented. The nightmare of the now has a radiant and vicious new bard, and her name is Madeline Cash.” —Sam Lipsyte, author of No One Left to Come Looking for You

“Cash’s heroines are all earth angels but none so much as [the] presence in these stories of the author herself, whose style has a devilish (remember Satan was an angel) and celestial power, quite apart from the characters and scenarios Cash has imagined.” —Christian Lorentzen, Bomb

“Earth Angel reiterates this sentiment: life is a hot mess, but we try to be happy. It’s a fleeting happiness, ephemeral because something shitty will happen again—you’ll see your rapist smiling on Instagram or be asked to do marketing copy for a terrorist organization—and you ultimately can’t escape the great unknown, the black hole at the end of this book and everything else.” —Anna Dorn, Los Angeles Review of Books

“Madeline Cash twirls through the detritus of our ravaged modern age in her charming debut, Earth Angel. Armed with an electric humor, Cash spins glittering tales of a physical world in decline, a surveillance culture lit by glaring LEDs that is dispossessed and irreverent, having forgotten how heavy with meaning it is.” —Jen George, author of The Babysitter at Rest

“The stories in Earth Angel are playful, charming, and a little bit devious—this is a striking debut by a writer to watch.” —Chelsea Hodson, author of Tonight I’m Someone Else

“Earth Angel is quotable, persuasive, glib, and profound—the compiled code of a lifetime spent amidst Hello Kitty sleeping bags, far-off forever wars, dying pets, sexual predators, and obsolescing handheld devices. It is a book as pleasurable, strange, and anxiety-provoking as (to use one
of its own images) a Noah’s Ark of Nintendogs. I loved it.” —Mark Doten, author of Trump Sky Alpha

“Earth Angel is a brutal, funny, and dizzying fever dream of a book. Madeline Cash’s stories read like the musings of a brilliant boarding school girl sucking on a DMT vape pen: an entire universe, vivid and writhing, is revealed beneath her placid stare. This is an electric debut.” —Nada Alic, author of Bad Thoughts
