Queer short film producer and a writer interested in Gynaehorror, Representation in Film, and Feminine Bodily Function in Film. If the gothic is involved, I'm even more excited. (She/her) Just graduated - wrote my dissertation on Prevenge and Yummy Mummy.
RELEASE DAY! Gothic Fantasy 'tour de force' that blends Beauty & the Beast with Gothic Horror - out in eBook and paperback now! Audio release 19 Feb on Eldritch Girl Podcast. #GothicHorror #GothicFantasy #NewBooks #BookLaunch
Just finished reading Kiersten White's fantastic Lucy Undying. If you're a fan of Dracula, Vampires, Lesbians, Gothic, and awesomely cathartic revenge, I'd highly advise. Some really interesting points about bodily autonomy here, as well as Lucy actually getting to be more than an ill victim.
Feels like a good day to repost our list of 12 trans characters in video games from across the ages. Trans & NB people exist, they cannot be erased with a scribble of a pen. #translivesmatter
Anyone else really bothered that they didn't put 'sexual assault' as a content warning for #nosferatu ? Saw it on the cinema and was totally caught unprepared (always nasty). The film is so clear about both its literal sexual assault and it's seriously implied sexual assault.
"May his name be erased."
For those that think that #blackhorror begins and ends with Jordan Peele, here are 30 movies from this year alone that prove otherwise. #horrorsky blackhorrormovies.com/best-black-horror-movies-of-2024
7:50 showing of Nosferatu should get me off the roads before the amateurs are shitfaced and weeble wobbling all over the place.
A still from the animated film Maybe Elephants. Three white girls, a Black girl and a Black boy gather around a stereo in an open grassy area. There are scattered trees and a large hill in the distance.
Three rebellious teenage daughters, a restless mother and a father struggling with potatoes find themselves in Nairobi in Oscar-shortlisted short animation Maybe Elephants www.eyeforfilm.co.uk/review/maybe... #filmsky 🎬
Did you know that Black Christmas was one of the first films to feature a killer who targets victims through the phone? It pioneered the 'phone caller' trope in horror, making every ring chilling. #HorrorFacts #BlackChristmas #HorrorFamily #HorrorMovies #Christmas2024
Poster for the Australosn film BIRDEATER with 9 quotes, all saying "feral"
A dear friend produced this incredibly powerful film - out in US cinemas on 10 January 2025, please support them

I write film analysis, with a focus on gynaehorror. Would lobe to be added!
Finally caught up with THE SUBSTANCE. Everyone told me it was mind bending body horror, but no in told me it was this decade’s SORRY TO BOTHER YOU. Biting, bitter satire built on a series of sad, core truths about our society. A freakishly good horror nightmare. It’s on MUBI and for rental in VOD.
Did a Q&A lecture at my old uni to chat about dissertations and thought no one would be interested in Gynaehorror, but there was ONE! A lovely student who I chat with and who is experiencing the same surprise I had at the fact that there is only really one author (Harrington) who writes about it
It's transgender day of remembrance today and we've lost 309+ siblings in the past year to violence, and an additional 47+ to suicide*.
Every single one had hopes, dreams, talents, fears, a family (chosen or otherwise). They deserved better.
Ex-librarian here—I'd say encouraging your followers to put in requests for books with marginalized authors/MCs and check out those books both in person and online would be best. To get books and keep them on shelves in times of scrutiny like this, there has to be a quantifiable demand for them.
This sentiment about feeling useful is really relatable
The secret is that other writers aren't competition; they're peers, colleagues and friends. Someone who reads me is going to read other writers as well; the entire publishing economy is "yes, and." Therefore it does me no harm, and much good, to support other writers and to wish them well.
Does anyone know of any films about time travelling babies/fetuses and time? Writing something new...

Hi! I'm new to the scene but would love to be added! (Pun intended)
Very! I was luck to find two people easy to trust. In a weird turn of events, they knew the midwife who delivered me 😅
I got stranded in London Waterloo at 8pm at night. Every train out got cancelled. I live no where near London and did not have enough money for a hotel. Luckily, I found two kind Midwives who also lived in the same city as me, and they offered me a lift home with them. Shouldn't have had to though!
Read this essay book earlier this week - a really intriguing read and lots of food-for-thought which has been making my brain twitch for DAYS. Would recommend (only 130ish pages, so a quick read, too)
slut for chiaroscuro
I hate the random bouts of abuse thrown at people by strangers. I've had this done so many times and no matter how much I know that those people don't deserve to have an effect on me, it certainly does take away a sliver of my ability to feel safe in public. I'm sorry you experienced this
Thank you so much!!
Hiya! I'd love to be added, if there's space still!
I've written the first essay over on my website. I've been struggling with enjoying things now that the nights are getting longer so wanted to write out some thoughts and feelings on it 😊
If you read or see it, please share it around, I'm really proud of it! 😊
