Welcome to Damn Joan. We made this for you! Step into our immersive (and sexy) design and discover a collection of stories exploring this month’s theme, Happy Death. Thinking about the complicated coexistence of joy and grief led us to a Barbie funeral, the world of big wave surfing, a gender-swapping murder mystery, an untold story of the Underground Railroad, some heroic cheese worms, and more. Enjoy! (And we’re serious about the cheese worms.)
