    by Janine Annett
In their own unique and unforgettable way, each storyteller examines our crisis of access to care in ways that are at turns haunting, heartbreaking, and outright funny.
“A key barometer of the literary climate.”
—The New York Times
Our first-ever McSweeney’s Internet Tendency e-book exclusive: Welcome to Woodmont College, out today from the minds of Mike Sacks and Jason Roeder.
The hardcover edition of The Every is available in a dizzying and entirely randomized array of cover variations, exclusively through independent bookstores and here at McSweeney's.
