I love the erotic dynamic at play in doppelgänger revenge stories. I am always there, invisible, even when you think you’re alone; I have nothing in the world but you, you are my world, I hate you.

I'm literally never going to get tired of staring at this I think
lovely piece i got to work on for ‘What Manner of Man’! i wanted to emulate old avon gothic pulp novels; & ended up making a mock cover as well.
i learned so much working on this piece, thank you so much to @stjohnstarling and @beastliness for all their support! 🖤
