No spoilers, but the upcoming book (E)xtreme (H)uman (O)verload does include a fish in, you guessed it, a wedding dress.

Trust us, it makes sense.

Feeling overwhelmed with people? Want to run away from everyone you have ever loved? You might just have the E.H.O.

(Totally not real) Deidre Johnston, N-D.P.G., and (absolutely real) author Diana Johnson are here to illuminate the (still not real) growing diagnoses of Extreme Human Overload.
Back this new book from The Henlo Press on Kickstarter by clicking the link below to secure your release copy and learn about E.H.O and also about this fish.
