Feminist & Sapphic Gothic
by Emily M. Danforth
A cursed New England boarding school for girls becomes the setting for Danforth's wickedly inventive adult debut, blending past and present narratives. This metafictional horror-comedy celebrates sapphic love, the art of storytelling, and rebellious femininity while embracing Gothic tradition with contemporary flair. Stylistically ambitious, darkly humorous, and unapologetically queer.
