My thesis is up on my school's repository, where anyone can read it for free! Please give it a look if you are into queer gothic stories, anxious men, or old houses!!
“Mahogany and Brass” is an early Victorian era queer romance short story, about being trapped in a townhouse. William Linton is spending the winter with Nicolas Blund, a man with whom he has a secret budding relationship. When Nicolas is called away on urgent business Will must spend a week alone in the strange house, battling his own mind and fear of attachment. As the townhouse seems to creep in around him, Will has to decide if he should leave the house and Nicolas behind for good, or else confront a reality that he might not be able to handle.
