LITERALLY

he practically turned it into a trope

and the satyr appears as a motif on things where it has NO VALUE OR BEARING ON THE PLOT WHATSOEVER

I went along to the local writers circle that Himself has started going to, they have monthly meetings and a guest author each time. Tonight was Jake Arnott, with his latest book BLOOD RIVAL (a queer modern neo-noir retelling of Sophocles' drama Oedipus Tyrranus with gangsters in Kent). Loved it

Fancy something longer you can get your fangs into?

Try my novellas and novels- Horror and Dark SFF in the Gothic mode, from soap opera with tentacles to a sumptuously queer dark fantasy.

I even have a contemporary asexual romcom/domestic drama.

Want something bite size, involving body horror and themes of love, loss, obsession, desire, and a creeping sense of unease?

Walk along the harbour today for a quick look around the Natural History museum. Really enjoyed it even though a lot was under construction and new exhibition spaces are being developed. We grabbed coffee and a sandwich from Γρηγόρης and ate them in the hotel lounge.
