The Goth House ExperimentThe Goth House Experiment

An uncanny and electric story collection from SJ Sindu, Lambda Literary finalist and Publishing Triangle Edmund White Debut Fiction Award-winning author of Blue-Skinned Gods In "Dark Academia and the Lesbian Masterdoc," a millennial English professor finds viral fame on TikTok, but her newfound notoriety could wreck her already unstable life. In "Patriots' Day," a man having an affair finds himself caught up in larger currents of anti-Asian violence. Throughout the collection, an array of loners and artists-a young poet haunted by the ghost of Oscar Wilde, a home brewer and wife during lockdown, a boy with wings-struggle 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 is a startling and very funny collection by one of America's most exciting young voices.
