Genia Blum

Verushka by Jan Stinchcomb Verushka uses the lens of folk horror to deftly explore family legacies, intergenerational trauma, the vulnerability of childhood, and the anxieties of motherhood.

Let me introduce myself again.
I write flash, short stories, novellas, and have one novel. I'm literary at heart, but it all comes out dark and scary.
Rebecca Turkewtiz wrote this excellent critique of my novel VERUSHKA for @strangehorizons.bsky.social:

Register to hear me mispronounce and trip over my own writing. Reading from something I wrote for @ettereview.bsky.social. It’s FREE! (Together with 9 other Creative Nonfiction Collective members!)

Congratulations!

I stopped X-ing a while ago and my tweeting (what does one call it here?) skills have atrophied. Please be patient while I get my bearings. In the meantime, please admire my Books+Scarves posts on IG. Send me a book and I'll match it to a scarf! (It's free 🤍)

Let Me Clarify #9: Unsolicited Advice by Genia Blum Almost every night, a witch appeared at the side of my bed, wrapped her bony arms around me and dug her sharp nails into my back.

Halloween or Hallowe'en? Time to revisit “Phantoms, Witches, Apostrophes” with the ghosts of Winnipeg and the ghouls of Munich.

In my last post I said I'd be back tomorrow, but that was a month ago. I'm here, but still on Twitter/slash/X (ugh) but posting way less everywhere (except IG) and feeling guilty about it, so still acclimatizing …

I'll be back tomorrow, time for a shower

I followed and "followed" @jacqdoyle.bsky.social over from Twitter and then I followed a gazillion accounts she follows here and then my finger got sore from clicking, but will continue soon!

Well I'm here now. Going to start following some folks.
