In addition to fronting PUP (who just released their This Place Sucks Ass EP) and running his Little Dipper label, Stefan Babcock will be releasing a children's book... for adults. It's called Rupert Reaper and the Search for Happiness.
The book, which Stefan calls a "nihilistic kids book for adults," follows Rupert, a "very small, very sad grim reaper" who grapples with his loneliness and the fact that everyone he touches dies, until he meets a little ghost dog who forces him to reexamine everything he thought he knew about life. As Stefan says on the project, "During this pandemic, I needed a break from music. Every song I wrote came out way too dark and it wasn't healthy. So, I found a new, very dumb, very fun medium, into which I could channel all my existential dread."
