The 8 stories in Things to Do When You're Goth in the Country bring the underbelly of America into vivid focus. The strange and unique characters in this collection include a zombie who secretly resides in a local cemetery; a queer teen goth who is facing ostracism from her small-town evangelical church; a Brooklyn artist who learns more about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict than he ever wanted to; and the UFOs that trouble a group of friends in the rural Midwest.
