Personal and political horror, in which the characters are haunted by a house, England is haunted by fascism, and the world is haunted by England. A lumpy, brutal, brilliant work. The author has content warnings for racism, antisemitism, transphobia, rape, self-harm, and suicide

Writer and software engineer in the US Midwest. I enjoy poetry, horror, some f/sf, some mystery, some literary fiction (but not the kind where the main character is a professor and nothing happens).
