"Make Sure You Die Screaming" is a mystery novel written by Zee Carlstrom that released April 8th, 2025. So when is "Make Sure You Die Screaming" set?
It takes place roughly in the year:
We know this because the narrator tells us, "I haven't spoken to my father since we came to blows on Thanksgiving. This was eight or so years ago, back when I was around Yivi’s age, shortly after Trump beat Hillary." Donald J. Trump defeated Hillary Rodham Clinton in the 2016 United States of American presidential election on November 8th, 2016 AD and the Thanksgiving holiday is celebrated in late November in the US. Here, "shortly" most likely refers to the period of weeks between the election in early November 2016 AD and Thanksgiving in late November 2016 AD though "eight or so years" keeps the time between this fight and 'the present' a bit vague.
~2024 AD
