Women in Horror/ Black Horror 2021 day 1

I’m still recovering from wisdom tooth extraction, so to get back in the habit of things, I’ll share a few links I come across as many days as possible.

I’ll also include links to Black Horror. They get lumped together unfortunately.

  1. A story by Suzan Palumbo “Laughter Among the Trees
  2. A free ebook by Angela Slatter “No Good Deed
  3. A thread about Black History Month and Cthulhu Mythos, covering fandom, authors, firsts (Charles R. Saunders, Joan C. Stanley), TTRPG, recent literature and film/tv.
  4. Ladies of Horror Fiction readalong : Megan Giddings “Lakewood” May contain spoilers
  5. Stephanie Wytovich writes about some favourite women authors

Things to do in October when you Dread

Here’s a few quick suggestions

The Kasturi/Files on Speculative Chic

Follow Sandra Kasturi and Gemma Files as they recap a bunch of movies.

There have been 3 so far. The Haunting, The Thing, and Midsommar. If they recap Viy and The Boxer’s Omen, it’s because I asked nicely enough.

Watch Draug, which is finally available on many streaming services after several years in production. It’s got beautiful lighting, but unless you speak Swedish, you’ll need to be in the mood for subtitles. Medieval witch horror.

Listen to some of the many episodes of the Outer Dark podcast. The latest is Female, Binary, and Queer Bodies in a Weird Space (#55) with Sunny Moraine, Craig Laurence Gidney, Damian Angelica Walters, Laura Blackwell, Zin E Rocklynn

Dim Shores has a new book available from Brooke Warra

Dig into this history of ballet in horror (and please share all your dance horror titles for literature and film).

Secret Wars

Last night I got to see a band with a few friends play for the first time. They’ve been together a few years now… and playing a few shows. That coincides with the shitty reno time-frame and is why it’s my first time seeing them.
