Check out this fascinating read by
@avadevries.bsky.social on the connections between Jordan Peele's GET OUT and Silvia Moreno-Garcia's MEXICAN GOTHIC #MexicanGothic #GetOut

An excerpt from flash fiction, Only Carrion by Ava DeVries published on crowcrosskeys.com, presented on a muted greyscale banner featuring the profile of a vulture, leering. The excerpt reads: The vultures have been gathering around my house again. Only three or four, for now. But more will be here soon. They will perch on my picket fence and roost on my roof until it creaks with the weight of them.
