Owen Rosedown

19 years old

Transgender man

Gay

Brokenhearted + Stubborn + Curious

Anxious + Pious + Naive

Hopeful but pessimistic

A brilliant young man who wants to belong, but never can…

With his dream of being a Runner shattered years ago, Owen turned his hopes to becoming a priest of the Goddess of Suffering. Rejected again, this time for his birth sex, becoming a chaplain and chaperone for a noblewoman seemed an unpleasant but quick way into a society that wanted little to do with him. Owen thought it couldn't get worse, when he learned his new charge was arranged to marry the prince who ripped Owen’s dreams from his young hands. But when his employer is murdered, it is Owen who finds himself given the responsibility of finding the killer - and the truth of the fall of the Vesperos family.

the people who got violently angry at everyone in dracula for not realising they were in a horror story until it was too late would die if they read carmilla I think

Some of you are familiar with my work already through itch.io or this blog, but I want to say that my book, So Sang the Riverman—a story which tells of the primordial world's destruction after the spirit of life, Fervor, makes off with the heart in Decay's grave—is now available at Barnes and Noble and Amazon. If you have a soft spot for gay romance and "indulgent" prose, have yourself a look, and if you do decide to buy a copy, thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting my work!

Hey

Do you like unhinged, angry women?

Do you like mad science?

Do you like the exquisite homoerotic tension of two Victorian ladies just barely brushing hands?

Do you think that Frankenstein would have gone a lot better if only Victor had been less of an absolute weenie?

Do you look at the story of the Loch Ness Monster and think “...but what if a dinosaur got in the lake”

THEN BOY, DO I HAVE THE BOOK FOR YOU!

Move over, chemists, it’s time for mad paleontologists to shine!

Years ago, Mary’s great uncle Victor Frankenstein mysteriously disappeared in the Arctic; now, in 1853, Mary and her reckless husband Henry are struggling to make a name for themselves as paleontologists in the old-boys'-club that is the world of Victorian science. But when Mary discovers her great-uncle's old notes, detailing his gruesome attempts at creating life, she comes up with a plan — one that will finally make them some money, prove Henry's radical paleontological theories right, and get Mary some of the respect she goddamn deserves...

Our Hideous Progeny is out NOW! Available wherever good books are sold, and also at your library if you yell (politely) at your local librarians to acquire it! 🖤💚🧡

Thanks all, byeee!

Where are my fellow Gothic Fiction fans? Surely some of you ended up in here somewhere. Come out I need you.

I want to draw them more, please feel free to suggest scenarios. I feel like they need to interact. Let the fanfiction begin!

I even made a reference sheet for them and everything. I just need to practise some more. Let’s just pretend they’re my OCs.

Edit: there are now more doodles. Find them under the #Sariel's Victorian disaster men tag
