As I planned, I read a stack of queer horror books in October—though nowhere near as many as I wanted to!
First, I finished My Violent Muse by Rosie Sycamore, which is a bisexual dark thriller about obsession, art, and female rage. It is a strange book with a unique voice, and weeks after reading it, I’m still not sure how I feel about it!
