Highway Trash Magic

Can I interest you in a stranger than fiction, real life picaresque? Perhaps a secret double life? How about a beatnik nonsense crash-course in trashy, road-worn survival magic and Clown School street smarts for times of abject chaos? Highway Trash Magic is half black-comedy memoir and half unreliably-narrated Witch School, here to help you craft up fast in the midst of a crisis. Marin writes from a feral, improvised, rock & roll rooted, folkloric Craft perspective for a diverse audience of misfits, rebels, and survivors. This haunted, madcap roundup of bittersweet memory and living lore covers practical, fun, and slightly unhinged techniques for growing in artistry and resilience, while holding onto yourself through a trauma circus.
