Out Dec 1, Call Me Traitor is a delightful romp and I would like to thank Tor for the ARC. Pencil this one into your calendars if you like dark academia, courtRead More
The Perfect Read for Hot Horror Summer: The Brides by Charlotte Cross Review
In The Brides Charlotte Cross provides a delightful extension to the internet’s favorite cursed epistolary novel – Dracula. The Brides functions as both a sequel and a prequel, with events occurring on both sides of the famous story and bringing an excellent sapphic twist as well. The Brides is out July 7th, and I would like to thank Harper Collins for sendingRead More
Get On Board the Gothic Revival Train: Muñeca by Cynthia Gómez
Gothic literature is having a moment and I, for one, am loving it. The houses are creepy, the family vibes are rancid, and because this is 2026, the queerness no longer has to be subtextual. Cynthia Gómez delivers a wonderful gothic debut work in Muñeca, out June 2. This novella is about a Latine working classRead More

A Queer Boarding School Gothic: Spoiled Milk by Avery Curran Review
Everything about the summary to Spoiled Milk by Avery Curran (out March 10, thank you to Doubleday for the ARC) made me so unbearably excited to read it. “The untimely death of a student at a girls’ boarding school turns out to be the first in a haunting series of escalating supernatural events. A thrilling debut novel aboutRead More
A Dizzying Fever Dream of a Horror Novel: The Starving Saints by Caitlin Starling Review
Caitlin Starling continues to wow with The Starving Saints, a dizzying yet lush horror novel set during a siege of a fantastical medieval fortress. At the start of the novel, the siege has run long. Provisions are depleted, water is short, and even the resident order of nuns cannot conjure up enough of a miracle toRead More
A Delicious and Grotesque Bite of a Novella: But Not Too Bold by Hache Pueyo
I picked up But Not Too Bold by Hache Pueyo because I heard it was a fun sapphic horror novella, and because I’m always eager to read more genre fiction in translation. (This was originally published in Portuguese and was translated by the author.) At barely over 100 pages, it’s a quick sprint, perfect to read inRead More
