Hi all. We write on pop culture and books. We love anime, comics and manga. We love book-to-screen adaptations. We'd love to follow authors, illustrators, editors, publishers, creators and the fandoms of books, sci-fi and comic cons. We'll follow you back.
It’s ok for the beauty to be seduced by the male monster. So why can’t a handsome man fall for a hag? And why glorify violence towards women? At @mcmcomiccon.bsky.social, authors discuss if #femgore is the answer to the patriarchy so prolific in horror genre.

A new romantic movement underpins the rise of poetry and indie bands at small and major book events in Malaysia. But the romance genre somehow unsettles the book censors. In another continent, the UK romance genre successfully crosses over to fantasy.
