Dragged two loved ones to watch Aurora’s What Happened To The Earth in theaters last night. “This is my Swift. I need this.” 🤣 They ended up loving it. We all won. #aurora

A graphic with a pink gradient text that reads "Sapphic Scares Podcast" on top of a red hand and blood splatters

Welcome to the page for Sapphic Scares Podcast hosted by @andreareads.bsky.social where we talk about all things lesbian horror. This podcast currently only exists in Andrea's mind but will hopefully exist in real life in the not-so-distant future so keep your eyes and your ears peeled 👀

A Queer horror comedy by a trans author. "Is it possible to queerbait yourself?"

A cryptid-hunting YouTuber. His missing mom. An isolated island that may house the monsters he swears aren't real. Tyler Kyle: 

* Reluctant YouTube cryptid hunter, musical theatre performer, bi-sexual ADHD chatterbox, mom = basically Elvira, too smart for his own good, vegan, kind of an asshole (but not really) A clawed hand holds a copy of The Erstwhile Tyler Kyle. Surrounding images include: a full moon with trees, a taxidermied squirrel, a belipsticked mouth with a flaming match in front of it (but in a sexy way), trees, a microphone, a camera, a nightingale in a tree, and the logo for something called "Discovery Bang" that features Bigfoot. Everything is coloured a pink tint " It never stops being weird, someone being there and then suddenly not, like you could step into yesterday and find them walking to the corner store, or if you tilt your head at exactly the right angle you’ll see them in your living room watching The Day the Earth Stood Still. They pat the seat beside them, like they caught your reflection in the screen, but it was just a shadow, and you snap out of each other’s worlds the way we forget even our most vivid dreams in the haze of morning. It feels like they’ve existed longer than they haven’t, though the reverse is true. Sometimes, it happens even with people who are still alive, and the pull inside you when you glimpse a stranger who looks like them, almost, until they turn around or speak or crook their elbow all wrong is like a hand clasped and then severed at the wrist." -The Erstwhile Tyler Kyle

A mood board for a work in progress by Sage T. Greene. A cryptid creature with bug-like features. Police lights. Cassette and CD. A restaurant. A deer. A candle and witchy herbs. A business sign that says "Sorry we're closed." Two women embracing in a forest in front of a fire. People sitting in a bowling alley and holding a bowling ball.

MIDWEST NOSTALGIA x TWIN PEAKS: COZY EDITION

An eccentric millionaire seeks proof of cryptids w/the help of their
companion.

Sunnyside, Michigan. 2005. A probable location for otherworldly
activity. The thing is, EVERYONE in Sunnyside seems a little...off.

"I don’t often call books flawless, but when it comes to Little White Flowers, there is no better word to describe it.  It is atmospheric, relatable, painful, and made for this forever fan of Stephen King’s Children of the Corn and Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery.”  I am excited to see how the story unfolds in the rest of the series." Sage Moon, Horror Writer's Association Notable Works Review Great for fans of stories with religious cults, family secrets, isolation, neurodivergent representation, asexuality spectrum representation, forbidden knowledge, rural settings, and deep sibling bonds. A press release with basic information about the book and author. Synopsis: An amateur genealogist’s sleuthing efforts lead her to a deadly truth that sets her in the sights of a volatile religious cult. About the author: Amber Hathaway is a horror and dark fiction writer. Her short stories have appeared in multiple anthologies, and Little White Flowers is her debut novel. She lives in central Maine with her equally eccentric partner, Brian Toner. The QR code goes to https://amberhathaway.com.

Little Eve meets "Children of the Corn" meets "The Lottery." A young autistic woman's quest to uncover her grandmother's mysterious past leaves her trapped in the midst of a religious cult that will stop at nothing to protect the town's wicked secrets.

it really is shocking how much self deprecation is seen as a cultural requirement for 'serious art.' 'real' artists are not allowed to exalt their work and must present it publicly as a sort of 'i dont think this is very good but maybe you will get around to it.' HECK THAT. love yourself
