All right, I’ve kept quiet for a bit because of real life crap, but come on guys. Our KS is moving at a snail's pace, and we can do better. And I’m not just saying this because I’m the marketing director of @khoreo.bsky.social, or because khōréō is my ride or die fam (which they are, ALWAYS)

I read a whole lot of short SFF, and khōréō is easily one of my favorite magazines; they publish incredible + important work. The field needs them. Please consider joining me in backing their Kickstarter + sharing the word! They still need $13,215 to meet their goal and the campaign ends July 15th.

i am continuing to necromance this post as i witness some disk horse happening over on tumblr about what exactly “gothic horror” is allowed (or not) to contain (spoiler: not age gaps or toxic relationships, apparently)
cressida roe@eggandcressida.bsky.social · last yr.if your “gothic” novel isn't at least a little freaky and subversive, the ghosts of mary shelley and emily bronte should get to rise up from their graves and hit you with a cardboard tube
currently rereading angela carter's THE MAGIC TOYSHOP, my favorite of hers & which i love returning to for its sentences. she got more baroque & lush by BLOODY CHAMBER in a way that's uniquely carterian, but it's amazing to see how polished she was already by her sophomore book
