the infuriating thing is that there is genuinely so much good queer literature out there, contemporary and not, but there is also a sizeable chunk of readers who think that a book only "counts" as good queer literature if it's a) unproblematic, b) contains romance as its central focus, and c) has the characters state their orientation and/or gender identity directly to the audience using socially acceptable 21st-century terms (as opposed to resorting to cowardly tactics such as Subtext and Themes)

top 3 places to bleed out:

1. the snow

2. your lover/best friend/homoerotic comrade’s arms

I just finished The Bayou by Arden Powell and I loved it!! It’s queer southern gothic horror set in 1930s Louisiana, and I know some of you like that genre (this is the queer horror blog after all) so I thought I’d recommend it. It's SO SO good you guys should def look into it

What they don't tell you about writing is that as you write, you discover scenes and entire plots that you hadn't accounted for that need to be written. So you can spend two hours writing and editing only to realise you're further away from the finish line than you thought you were when you started

gothic horror rlly is just. aw fuck look at what youve done. the house has inherited your inter-generational trauma and in response has transformed itself into a metaphorical device to track the decay of the family. we're never gonna pay off that mortgage now
