During this sapphic September, how about adding a bit of toxic yuri to your diet? Enamoured: A Triptych is a historic, erotic, horror novella about love and makeup and capitalism.
Come for the steamy scenes and… well… you know 😉

Why had no one told me about how amazing In Fabric is? When a movie has a credit for mannequin pubic hair you KNOW you're in for a wild ride. Extremely bizarre department stores, hypnotic laundry repair men, a very killer dress, what more could you possibly need?

HAPPY FIRST ANNIVERSARY TO THE MAIDEN VOYAGE OF THE FLESH OF THE SEA🥳🐠🐡
(A little bit late but what is time keeping?)
Though the waters were rocky and the skies were often covered, it was a grand adventure and I couldn’t have been happier to do it alongside my co-captain @lormaggot.ca

I’m so thrilled to share this blurb by the talented, genre-crossing Sophie White. Where I End is a supremely unsettling book and to have her words of praise means the world!

The final part of my essay series on the making of enamoured is here! Who knew writing a book exploring the interplay between love and capitalism, art and commerce would turn out to cause a bit of an existential crisis about book advertising!

Sometimes I just sit and stare at the cover of my upcoming book. It’s just so damn neat.

Sharing another wonderful blurb by the incredibly talented (and he the nominations to prove it) @jawmccarthy.bsky.social. Her work is so lush and visceral and beautifully written so I couldn’t be more honoured to share her king words about Enamoured.

I'm writing a three part series on the making of and thinking behind Enamoured: A Triptych. This week I share my thoughts on beauty and fashion as a queer/trans person. You can find it on my website: shelleylavigne.wordpress.com/2025/06/09/f...

The Flesh of the Sea is currently 6$ for a paperback on the Zon (canada). I'm not entirely sure why but I know that's an absolute steal. So if you wanted a copy and have enough for a latte kicking around, go snatch one!

I absolutely ADORED The Ugly Stepsister! The body horror, the morally grey and sympathetic characters, the blending of historic and modern aesthetics, the gender and beauty aspects of the story. So completely worth the watch I had a blast even while I was squirming.

I got a heck of a lot more followers here recently so quick intro! I'm Shelley, a genderqueer (trans) Canadian horror writer. Last summer I released a gay pirate novella with monsters and romance with my best friend @lormaggot.bsky.social. It's called The Flesh Of the Sea and you should check it out

A late entry into the best book of 2024 category, Natural Beauty by Ling Ling Huang. An incredible look into the ways we change our bodies and push ourselves to achieve unsustainable standers of both beauty and artistic production. This one is going to stick to me like goopy hand cream.
