Pretend I'm Dead is the first novel published by writer Jen Beagin. It was followed by a sequel novel titled Vacuum in the Dark.

The title was originally published as a paperback by NU Press, and has since been published in the UK with new book cover art.

With a new cover designed by Alex Merto, the novel was reissued as a hardcover in 2018 by Simon & Schuster.

Reception

In Kirkus Reviews, the novel received a starred review and was listed on Kirkus' Best Debut Fiction of 2018."What gives this novel its heart is Beagin’s capacity for seeing: As Mona cleans peoples’ homes, we learn that the wealthy, well-dressed, superior individuals who pay her to scrub their toilets are just as messed up as the addicts and prostitutes and gamblers she encounters outside of work. This is not a new theme, of course, but Beagin makes it fresh with her sly, funny, compassionate voice. This is a terrific debut. Singularly enjoyable." Kirkus Review

Emily Books gave an early positive review of the first edition of Pretend I’m Dead, published in 2015 as a paperback by Northwestern University Press.

Pretend I’m Dead was shortlisted for The Center for Fiction's 2018 First Novel Prize.
