Description
How You Lose the Time War meets Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke in this fast-paced queer horror novel in which an obsessive woman stumbles upon a second-chance romance with her flighty paramour, but it quickly deteriorates into a dark spiral of destruction.
Johnny spots her ex, Alice, at the local cafe with a vague sense that she’s been there before. Though she’s still angry about their breakup and Alice’s subsequent ghosting, Johnny can’t resist the draw of a second shot at their relationship and accepts Alice’s invitation back to her apartment. Once there, promises are exchanged. There’s talk of wonder and change and dreams made real. But after spending the night together, they face a morning in which Alice is still Alice, Johnny is still Johnny, and the dog has doubled in size.
Over the course of a week, increasingly bizarre changes in the world around them force Johnny to consider whether the pair can change just as easily, if they can change at all. Or if both her relationship and the bounds of reality are destined to implode. The narrative of I Can Fix Her operates on nightmare logic, putting forth an irresistible tale in which the world, the narrator, and time itself are not to be trusted.
Advance Praise
"In this ferocious tale, strata of bitterness, jealousy, and dashed expectations form an unstable foundation for Johnny, who desperately seeks a reconnection with her aloof, enigmatic ex. Wilde’s incandescent prose blazes, but don’t let the beautiful, poetic imagery of I Can Fix Her fool you—this story digs into the psychological bedrock of why we hope that the people we love will change to be exactly what we need and crave, even when deep down we know the truth." —Lindz McLeod, author of Sunbathers and The Unlikely Pursuit of Mary Bennet
“I Can Fix Her is one of the saddest yet most beautiful fucking things I’ve ever read. Wilde demonstrates a mastery of experimental narrative structures and my god… the prose! Phenomenal." —Paula D. Ashe, author of We Are Here to Hurt Each Other
