A young girl hears unsettling messages in the grooves of an old record album. A washed-up horror star gets a second chance at stardom, but at a great price. A robot rebellion is fueled by the poetry of Adrienne Rich and Audre Lorde.
In this collection of short fiction, some characters seek to escape (often through music or magic), while others choose to remain in the beautiful, albeit damaged, present moment.
“Gwynne Garfinkle's Sinking, Singing (2024) is forthcoming this fall from Aqueduct Press, and I highly recommend getting hold of a copy. Its eleven stories are a showcase of moments as disquieting and liberating as a virtuoso punk setlist or a marathon of films from a different Hollywood, each tilting the world to another quizzical angle of sirens and robots, extinction and reinvention, remixed history and warped discographies. It should come with a companion CD, never mind that its most important tracks come from a music industry of the author's imagination. You can hear them in these unpredictable pages. Malfunctions unleash the beauty of surprise.
” —Sonya Taaffe, author of As the Tide Came Flowing In and Ghost Signs
