This is a gorgeous story of transformation, of homecoming, and of choosing to be open about who you truly are to those who love you. Viscerally beautiful descriptions of body horror and delicious food are always a plus. 😍

“Ichthyosis” is live on @fantasymagazine.bsky.social and free to read! I will forever love Fantasy Magazine for giving my story such a gorgeous home. If you’re in the mood for animal transformations, a horror of the body & home, a sea and an unmooring, then this is the story for you. 💙
