#SFFChat Q4: Excerpt featuring a memory

I've shared this passage from The Wings of Ashtaroth before many times, but it's one I'm super proud of

It's still October!

Why not try a queer horror comedy that doesn't skimp on any of the three?

A cryptid-hunting skeptic follows a (fake?) video of his presumed-dead mom to a former conversion camp on an isolated island, all while fleeing the "straight" co-host he drunkenly made out with.

#WIPSnips - "Broomstick"

No literal broomstick, but lots of witchy stuff in So Sing the Barrows (a little in TETK as well, but SStB is definitely my "witchy" book).

#Wipsnips - "Costume"

Always nice when I have one ready 🤣

If you're looking for a queer horror read for the season and are tired of the usual stuff, it might be worth a look!
