Model Home
ABOUT
THE BOOK
In Model Home, Rivers Solomon turns the haunted-house story on its head, unearthing the dark legacies of segregation and racism in the suburban American South. Unbridled, raw, and daring, Model Home is the story of secret histories uncovered, and of a queer family battling for their right to live, grieve, and heal amid the terrors of contemporary American life.
NOMINATING LIBRARY COMMENTS
Using the haunted house mythos as their framework, Rivers Solomon explores generational trauma and respectability politics in Model Home. Unflinching in its portrayal of Black horror, Model Home dares readers to face and reckon with the monsters society has created. (Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh)
