Day five is BACK ON THE HORROR AGAIN, and while there's no buckets of blood this time around, there's still intentionally upsetting imagery aplenty. I consider losing one's sense of self very, very scary.

This one still makes me cry.

Day four is a break from horror, but I think this one counts as actual, factual toxic yaoi. You like fantasy men making sexy bad decisions over and over between bouts of dungeon crawling? Good news, that's pretty much all this is!

Day three is a title inspired by someone jokingly saying that necromancers could be great for the job market and me seeing this as the horror of not even death providing escape from labor. Set in alt-postwar not-England 'cause why not?

For the second day in the curated set, it's time for a horror story about uneven power dynamics, ARGs, narcissism, domestic abuse, and maybe threats to reality (don't worry about it). Featuring a POV character who REALLY sucks!

We're starting off light, and by "light" I mean "the one where two living puppet-people in the alternate 1970s are stressed out about losing their jobs in broadcast television, which is more precarious than it sounds."

Blackout? Nah. This coming week I'm going to be sharing some of what I've made for @s2b2.bsky.social and describing the many exciting reasons they're nasty. I'm proud of my writing, I'm proud of the zine, and I'm proud of making NSFW creative works both visual and written, end of statement.
