Bad Fiction

In **Bad Fiction by Alice Slater**, a sharp, darkly funny **campus novel** turns a creative writing class into a high-stakes lesson in desire, ambition and control. It’s the kind of book you’ll devour for its wicked wit and uneasy tension, all while asking what we’re willing to trade for artistic success.

Alice and Walt are determined to land a place in celebrated tutor Sofie Muller’s seminar. Sofie has a gift for spotting promise—and for pushing it, hard. Under her gaze, the workshop becomes more than craft: it’s about power, permission and the intoxicating pull of approval.

As gossip about Sofie’s methods gathers volume, Alice must decide how far she’ll go to become the writer she’s dreamed of being, and what it might cost to step over the line.

Perfect for readers who love **literary fiction**, **dark academia**, messy mentorships and stories about fame’s undertow. Add it to your cart and see where the sentence takes you.
