Summer Sons 2021
Summer Sons is a 2021 Southern Gothic campus novel written by Lee Mandelo and published by Tordotcom. The story centers on Andrew, a graduate student at Vanderbilt University, who tries to uncover the truth behind his best friend Eddie's sudden death.
Set in Tennessee, the novel incorporates paranormal themes drawn from American South myths and legends. It blends dark academia elements while examining issues including homophobia, rural poverty, and racism within educational settings.
The narrative uses third-person perspective to follow Andrew’s experiences, weaving in flashbacks that reveal his bond with Eddie. While others believe Eddie took his own life, Andrew suspects his death connects to an ancient curse from a ritual he and Eddie performed together years earlier.
