Do you like piña coladas and gettin’ caught in the rain? If your best friend just died, if you lost their cat and you’re coughing up furballs… you might need an escape. In Mary Dauterman’s feature debut, BOOGER, Anna is in this exact position. Her best friend, Izzy, just passed away, her landlord won’t stop calling about the rent, and she’s on the brink of losing her job. Home alone, Anna gets bit by Izzy’s grumpy cat, Booger, who jumps out of a window. As everyone around Anna tries to help her work through her grief, Anna’s singular focus is on finding her dead best friend’s cat and every day, she feels stranger and stranger. She’s hungry for canned fish, she keeps swallowing her hair, and her predatory instincts are out of control. - Fantasia
