Overview
The Twilight Zone meets I Saw the TV Glow in this speculative, horror-tinged, coming-of-age novel about a young queer woman who is drawn into a hub between dimensions through a mysterious TV.
Cowboy, a queer TV repair store employee, lives a lonely existence in 1980s Sterling, a Texas town where life revolves around the local megachurch. So when she’s tricked into buying a huge number of junk TVs for the repair shop by a church-affiliated MLM saleswoman, Cowboy has no choice—and nothing better to do—but to try and fix them.
One night, a beguiling man named Al Bones reveals himself in one of the TVs, offering Cowboy a way out of Sterling: follow him through the screen to another dimension called Nowhereland. Full of intoxicating alternate universes, much like the fantastical B movies Cowboy watches, Nowhereland is a place for the outcasts and misfits. Misfits like Cowboy.
But there’s a catch: To get this coveted ticket to Nowhereland, Cowboy must kidnap the megachurch’s hypocritical pastor and bring him to Al Bones. What lengths will Cowboy go to for a shot at a new life? And can she really leave her home behind?
