Suburban Gothic [2025] - Hardcover

by Margaret F. Chen (Author), Gareth Bentall (Cover Design by)

Contemporary, middle-class America is the setting for these fifteen tales of ordinary men, women, and children: an estranged couple survives a harrowing road trip, another unhappy couple spars with exasperating neighbors, a daughter goes on an unusual hike, and children are misunderstood and must fend for themselves. Here, in this unsettling collection, normal people are confronted with the unknown, the unpredictable, and the extraordinary, and practical, everyday life balances precariously with chaos and the absurd.
