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.
