IF I MEMORIZED THESE LYRICS, NO ONE WOULD THINK TO TOUCH ME UNLESS I ALLOWED THEM. I’D BE INVISIBLE, ESTRANGED, DANGEROUS, AND SOMEHOW DELIVERED TO A TRUER WAY OF BEING.

A dark-humored poet’s novel of cruising, contempt, and database crawling, Stalled Death Train rumbles through the death of David Bowie in 2016 to shake apart its narrator’s sense of self. Nick, a burned out office worker and late-Bowie fanatic, spends his days mourning his fallen star, left to decipher the legacy and lyrics of a singular pop icon whose excesses did not cease, even after his greatest moments had passed. Meanwhile, Nick must solve the mystery of why his boyfriend has begun to self-amputate as a form of autonomously upgrading his dimensions—or at least call tech support before he uploads himself to the cloud.
