CryBaby by Mabel Gibson
Out Now!
“I was born a human storm. Emotionally charged from my very first breath of warm September air.”
CryBaby is an incredibly generous and authentic collection of micro memoir that offers a way to honour the layers of our younger selves. Mabel writes people and places that are equally vivid, and grief that is penetrating and honest.

In 750 words or fewer, these 100 carefully crafted stories invite the reader into the histories we often edit—or don’t tell—about ourselves.
One hundred authors give voice to the raw, chaotic and joyful spectrum of what it means to be human. Each micro memoir is unique in its scope, but the collection resonates with threads of shared experience across cultures and generations.
Three Can Keep a Secret

One hundred stories simmer with shadows, secrets and silences beneath the surface of everyday lives. Playful and reflective, comic and raw, the collection explores human relationships, grief, vulnerability and celebrates the extraordinary in the ordinary.
