I'm going on a much-needed social media/marketing break until 2026 because I am, DRAINED (and there's no vampire in sight, which seems rude of the universe). I'll be active on Discord (my comfort platform). If you'd like to stay connected, hit me up on there.

When posting this, the existence of Romancing the Gothic completely escaped my mind. I have a TON of resources. Feel free to ignore this post.
For those of you who study, read, and are interested in the Gothic genre and the history thereof, what books (fiction and non-fiction alike) would you recommend for someone with ADHD reentering the genre?

This project haunts me always, demanding to be put out into the world. If only I could heed it's demands. I want to.
Not being able to make any forward momentum with the next steps of my queer dark audio drama, Minthe, has been driving me crazy. I really just wish I had disposable income right now that I could use to pay the voice actors with, but alas.

I'm really proud of this novel. It has been in a lot of promos and the ARC was downloaded over 900 times. That was a good experiment; it beat the 1% of readers leave reviews metric (~1-10% is average I think, depending on how engaged your readership are), and it sits at 20 reviews on GoodReads!

Not the editor (it's me, hi) having biiiig emotions about creation and channeling that into monster smut:
In a daydream-y haze thinking about Del Toro's Frankenstein while listening to Ethel Cain's "Inbred" on repeat. This combination works so fucking well, and 1000% is reminding me of a few stories of mine that I could stitch together and a new (fictional) life, as it were.
Guess what I just finished watching and am emotionally wrecked and wonderfully, wickedly inspired by?

Okay, no more marketing for me on this account (probably and hopefully because dear goddd, I'm exhausted even just from today). If you see me doing some promo on the lit mag's account, no you didn't (yes you did, I'm just broken by capitalism).

Are you interested in the idea of being apart of a lit mag run by a queer author with a background of several anthologies who would very much like to have fun with other creatives putting out a cool transgressive collection of works?
