In 2019, Liz Phair released her memoir, Horror Stories. At the time, she made a big point in all the press to say that she had already written a twin memoir entitled Fairy Tales, about all the juicy, fun, dishy aspects of being a rock star. To date, that memoir has not been released, and it looks like it was last mentioned in a Pitchfork interview in 2023. What gives? Does anyone have any scuttlebutt about what happened here and if this book is ever going to be released?

My suspicion is that Liz burned literally every bridge she had in the industry with Funstyle, and thought she was never coming back.
But then she released Soberish, and now she’s back in the industry. So perhaps she doesn’t want to reveal any juicy behind the scenes things for now.
Maybe sales on Horror Stories was less than brisk, so the publisher passed? If that’s the case, she should have published the juicy dish book first, and followed with the darker one.
It really was a hard read.
