Forget This Ever Happened

Sometimes there’s a town called Indianola.And sometimes there isn’t. A New York Public Library Best Book of the YearJune, 1993. Claire has been dumped in rural Indianola, Texas, to spend her whole vacation taking care of mean, sickly Grammy. There’s nothing too remarkable about Indianola- it’s run-down, shabby, and sweltering, a pin-dot on the Gulf Coast.Except there is something remarkable. Memories shimmer and change. Lizards whisper riddles under the pecan trees. People disappear as if they never existed. Yesterday keeps coming unspooled, like a video tape. And worst of all, a red-lightning storm from beyond our world may just wipe the whole town off the map, if Claire and her maybe-girlfriend Julie can’t stop it.Because reality doesn’t apply in Indianola. Indianola is not supposed to exist.Surprising, brilliant, and, like, totally tight, Forget This Ever Happened is speculative horror at its finest, featuring a queer romance from a queer author and dark, dazzling world-building.
