Genre-blending stories can be very hard for writers to sell, so we're seeing a lot of them in the Hell Itself slush. Expect more of them from us!
Sounds intriguing! Luchadoras and ghost stories combine the supernatural with cultural themes. Reminds me of "El Santo vs. The Vampire Women." What are your thoughts on blending genres? 🪐📚 #SciFi #WeirdFiction
Today from Hell Itself, Nicholas De Marino brings us a weird science fiction tale about a luchadora, a ghost child, and the patriarchy. Where else would you find such a story?
