Unable to do much more than walk aimlessly through the streets of Berkeley, Correll admitted herself to the hospital to reckon with The Bad Feeling that had been her companion since she was a child.With her ingenious and charming illustrations “bursting with personality...peppered with witty asides” (Publishers Weekly), Correll leads readers through the amusement park in her own mind—featuring severe anxiety, depression, agoraphobia, and dissociation—a frightening and darkly funny world that “feels like a place apart from ‘real’ life.”A hilarious thrill ride exploring the mysteries of the mind-body connection, Gemma Correll’s graphic memoir is shot through with the absurd knowledge that there is no linear way through Anxietyland, nor any cure-alls—but there are ways to feel better if you keep trying to move forward.Gemma Correll is an award-winning cartoonist, writer, and illustrator. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, NPR, Elle, and Forbes, among many others.

She has done product partnerships with The Whitney Museum, Converse, Keurig, and numerous other brands. Her products are available in various stores, including World Market.

Originally from Britain, she now lives in California with her husband and two pugs.Sanika Phawde (She/They) is an illustrator, educator, cartoonist and reportage artist, born and raised in India, and based in Boston.Through autobiographical comics, drawings on location, and illustrated interviews her work strives to capture and communicate instances of emotional connection, queerness, immigrant culture, familial tension and the deeper sentiments hiding in the heart of it.
