Leanna as Edith Cushing from Guillermo del Toro's Crimson Peak, standing with her verrrrry long blonde hair wavy and down, in an authentic 1880s antique nightgown that is head to toe white lace and ruffles, lit candelabra in hand, a Gothic manor in grey stone behind her from which she has escaped...

Years ago visiting the Catskills with my family we got a local library card so we could rent this documentary, with reconstruction, about a hex murder. #folkhorror codirected by Ron Littke and Benita Abrams. #WiHM
3 books at the bottom: Melinda West: Monster Gunslinger, Melinda West and the Gremlin Queen, Shrouded Horrors. Found poem : Demon Corpses swarm, heralding horror, a curtain of destruction hunting the land. Reality torn by infection, a devouring monster of life, the demon exterminating all.

Three book shown at the bottom of graphic: The Deer Kings, Girl in the Creek, and An Oath of Dogs Found Poem above: Believe Unsettling secrets threatens the truth of a murdered god.

Image shows three books at the bottom: A Misfortune of Lake Monsters, Meat Sweats, The Trajectory of Dreams. Found poem above it: Craving Craving the monster, the ruin of life, secrets cake blood with the Devil's love, begs for the fall. Truth disintegrated, control exploding, a world unravels.

Bottom shows books: Itch!, Dear Laura, White Pines Found poem above: Tradition A festival of obsession and returning ghosts, the foundation of tradition. Cloaked in twisted roots, they tell of a decaying stranger, their cruel demands a sacred exchange of flesh and secret.

A blonde woman in her 40s wearing a Shivas band t-shirt and green sweater in front of a green door holds a copy of Chthonic Matter Quarterly. Text on the image says: Read some Chronic Pain Horror for Women in Horror Month “A Body Is Horror" in CMQ Winter 2025
📚 Have you read “A Body Is Horror” in Chthonic Matter Quarterly’s winter 2025 issue yet? Inspired by the horrors of chronic pain, medical gaslighting, rare diagnoses, & rural economic decay 🏚️💀
It’s sort of like if Rosemary’s Baby was rural folk horror, w/o a baby

Me: The main character in Sister Midnight (directed by Karan Kandhari) first has to cope with an arranged marriage before muddling through, and then thriving, in her new ruthless, blood sucking form. Also the scene of her on the beach wearing sunglasses and holding a black umbrella, surrounded by colourful saris and happy people, is iconic
I'm on Gwendolyn Kiste's blog, sharing a few sentences about a horror character, for #wihm #wihm2026 #womeninhorrormonth www.gwendolynkiste.com/Blog/good-fo...

I really appreciate the #wihm mention. Thank you!!
Three book covers at bottom: Numb, Fallen Destiny, Only Darkness Found poem above based on these blurbs The Forge Destiny speaks with ominous force. The mother of mystery voices a connection with darkness, a calling to surrender, threatens all in the forge of violence to consume the human.

Cover of A Fragile Thing with blurb by Lee Murray beside it: One of the most versatile and talented horror writers of our day, Stephanie Ellis shines again, this time with A Fragile Thing, a darkly chilling novel of madness, mind games, and manipulation. Channelling Jekyll and Hyde in Jack the Ripper’s Whitechapel, where science and spiritualism seduce the upper classes and the streets stink of nightwalkers and nightcrawlers, ambitious Isaac Bercow attempts to root out the shadowy manifestations that plague his own psyche. Blurring the lines between illusion and reality, one thing is clear, Ellis dangles our darkest fears before us with mesmerising skill.”—Lee Murray, five-time Bram Stoker Award®-winning author of Grotesque: Monster Stories

Found poem featuring 2 book covers at the bottom: Six O'Clock House and Other Strange Stories and In Memory of Exoskeletons Poem above: The Curse Widowed twilight cracks domesticity, waters life with pinpricks of shadowed magic calling from a dark world to doom the lost with a seething curse, turning the hand to the perfection of horrors.
