Meet Lazarus Klein (@/judasflower over on Instagram), the assistant editor with a focus on art submissions. (Bio in the next post.)
Lazarus (Intersex | They/Them) is a Michigan-based artist and writer with degrees in biology, anthropology, and folklore who indulges their love for cultural history and the macabre by exploring the taboo beauty of death and what might exist just beyond our everyday perception.

So... Horrmance. What’s that? Well, to start, it’s a portmanteau! Just like brunch is a combination of breakfast and lunch, horrmance is a combination of horror and romance! 🧟‍♀️💘 (1/3)
