Books like Megg & Mogg in Amsterdam by Simon Hanselmann
Megg the witch and her cat partner Mogg, accompanied by their friends Owl and Werewolf Jones, face depression, drug use, sexuality, poverty, and complex interpersonal dynamics. Their plans for a romantic escape to Amsterdam are derailed when they forget their antidepressants, forcing Owl to intervene and confront unexpected challenges—from a suitcase full of glass dildos to a chaotic apartment turned "f#@k zone" by Werewolf Jones.
The volume assembles Simon Hanselmann’s contributions to Vice.com, the Ignatz Award‑nominated short story "St. Owl’s Bay," and additional pieces that enrich the mythos of Megahex.
Fans of the creator’s work will find new humor, candid exploration of mental health, and the quirky dynamics that define the characters’ world.
