Surreal & uncanny fiction that lingers.
The Construct of Love
The Debut Novel by M.B. Starc
A surreal descent into desire, identity, and the beautiful lie of control.
A naked man falls from the sky. He lands on a moving car.
He doesn’t die.
From that impossible moment, obsession spreads. Delphine—and those closest to her—become entangled in a web of desire, identity, and transformation. Love binds them, breaks them, and remakes them in ways they can neither control nor escape.
Dark, surreal, funny, and unsettling, The Construct of Love is the first novel set within The Construct—a world where intimacy collides with horror, survival intertwines with psychology, and love itself becomes the most dangerous experiment of all.
WARNING: Contains absurdity, sexual humor, and psychological tension.
