An uncanny and electric story collection from SJ Sindu, Lambda Literary finalist and Publishing Triangle Edmund White Debut Fiction Awardâwinning author of Blue-Skinned Gods
In âDark Academia and the Lesbian Masterdoc,â a millennial English professor finds viral fame on TikTok, but her newfound notoriety could wreck her already unstable life. In âPatriotsâ Day,â a man having an affair finds himself caught up in larger currents of anti-Asian violence.
Throughout the collection, an array of loners and artistsâa young poet haunted by the ghost of Oscar Wilde, a home brewer and wife during lockdown, a boy with wingsâstruggle for connection and fulfillment in a world battered by the pandemic and reactionary politics. A daring
writer with limitless range, SJ Sindu can depict shocking cruelty as readily as small moments of queer joy. The Goth House Experiment isa startling and very funny collection by one of Americaâs most exciting young voices.
