It's Women in Horror Month!
Hello, I'm Nicoletta, a pansexual princess under glass writing fantasy and horror. My focus is on baroque horror, but I try to write broadly. I'm querying my debut, a pitch-dark gothic fantasy.

HOUSE OF HUNGER x BLOODBORNE
Taken from school and sold to a convent, Flora is a pawn in a war between the church and the reviled monstra, but she sympathizes with the beasts she's supposed to hate. Once she falls in love with a carnivorous unicorn, all bets are off.

Partner and I drew these after lights out last night, then lit a candle to reveal them
Both upright, both auspicious. 2025, let's do this.

Nothing cheerier than spending the winter trapped in a castle full of carnivorous monsters, especially if you're Flora, a disaffected lesbian misanthrope. Enjoy long nights roaming dark halls, feeding flesh to baby fiends by the fire, and waltzing with a hungry new lover. #CheerPit #A #F #R #Q #LGBT

BLOODBORNE x HOUSE OF HUNGER
To escape a blood-draining convent, Flora joins a group of monster hunters. When she falls in love with a carnivorous unicorn ruling a secret haven for persecuted beasts, she enlists her help to strike back against the church--at any cost.

Rewatched Dead Calm (1989) last night. Love the damsel/lordsel equilibrium in this movie. It has exactly one kill, and it's better than most horror movie kills I've seen (in addition to being extremely well deserved)

I watched The Vourdalak
Unsettling in its reflection of reality, laying bare a bilious toxic masculinity and showing how authoritarianism is best served when, despite obvious evils, people look the other way and continue to allow it a place at the table. A necessary watch.

Pan's Labyrinth x Bloodborne with lesbian angst
AITA for turning my back on a misogynist theocracy that drains my blood to make monster-killing swords and falling for the carnivorous leader of a secret society of the very creatures I was trained to hunt?
oh also REBELLION
