roje –
Many times, transness in horror lit hasn’t fulfilled me. Cis creators drop the ball whether curating or publishing. When I saw this anthology written and edited by fellow nonbinary people I knew I had to at least get the pdf– and I wasn’t disappointed! My personal fave story is “Mama is a Butcher” by Winter Holmes– it really spoke to me and was a gut churning but heartfelt read. I need more trans-created horror as good as this Asap!
