Sophomore collection, Poor Substitute, available now from Acid Bath Publishing.

Debut collection, A Nihilist Walks Into A Bar, available now from Mansfield Press.

Shortlisted for the 2022 ReLit Awards, A Nihilist Walks Into A Bar is the frustrated, fierce, and funny first book of a woman for whom all the old expectations of life have fallen apart. Railing against careers, religion, sex, drinking, and all the usual signposts on the road to self-fulfillment, Ferguson strips away the façade of old ideas and shouts and laughs at the chaos that lies beneath. This book is a manifesto of the disenfranchised, and the diary of a country girl with her head in the clouds. It is a love letter to the world, and a breakup text at 3am. To anyone who’s ever looked out the window and thought “yes, but why?” this book is for you.
