Yeehaw Junction
By Kayli Scholz

Yeehaw Junction is a Florida town so small it rarely shows on maps. It’s where Skeet grew up, a foster kid who identifies as “rotten” and aspires to someday be a school shooter.

When 11-year-old Heather Studebaker goes missing nearby, Skeet and his foster family consider ways to get a reward for finding her.

Yeehaw Junction is a work of mixed media, telling a story from Skeet’s point of view interspersed with newspaper clippings, YouTube blogs, and police interrogation transcripts.

Be warned, this one is not for weak stomachs: extreme violence and incredibly fucked-up bizarre content, including (but not limited to) a stripper posing suggestively with corpses wearing a Monica Lewinsky mask.

As a sucker for mixed media and a true sicko, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Kayli Scholz’s writing style is top notch with unforgettable characters and world-building that feels viscerally immersive. If you liked Gummo, you’ll love this. Certified Wicked.
