"A self-help guide that explores harnessing the power of fandom to reclaim balance in mental and emotional health"-- Provided by publisher.
Where once geek culture was niche and hidden, fandom characters and stories have blasted their way into our cineplexes, bookstores, and consoles. They help us make sense of our daily lives-- and they can also help us heal. Garski and Mastin explore how narratives and play inform our lives. They invite readers to explore mental health and emotional wellness without conforming to mainstream social constructs. -- adapted from back cover
