    [synopsis] => An incisive reflection on identity and wealth, and a refreshing racial queer story of survival		
	All Things Seen and Unseen follows Alex Nguyen, an isolated, chronically ill university student in her early 20s. After a suicide attempt and subsequent lengthy hospitalization, she finds herself without a job, kicked out of campus housing, unable to afford school, and still struggling in the aftermath of a relationship's dissolution. Hope comes in the form of a rich high school friend who offers Alex a job housesitting at her family's empty summer mansion on a gulf island.		
	Surrounded by dense forest and ocean, in the increasingly oppressive heat of a 2010s summer, Alex must try to survive as an outsider in a remote, insular community; to navigate the awkward, unexpected beginnings of a possible new romance; and to live through the trauma she has repressed to survive, even as the memories - and a series of increasingly unnerving events - threaten to pull her back under the surface.		 			In this queer/racial modern gothic horror, Alex, after a period in rehab, is kicked out of school and student housing, leaving her homeless. She gets a job house-sitting in a large home on a small island and must try to survive as an outsider in a remote, insular community, living through the trauma she has repressed to survive.		 			
	RJ McDaniel is a writer, at least for now. Their essays on baseball and other topics have been featured in Catapult, PRISM, and VICE Sports, among others. They live in Vancouver. This is their debut novel.
