Nothing, much like the contents of the horror zine that doesn't allow for horror.

In retrospect, David Cronenberg's Cats (2019) was a bad idea.

A little birthday card inspired by A Farewell to Humanity (coming soon) from @ghosty-pants.bsky.social ! Thank you 😄

Dark blue colors show multiple screens with a blonde blue eyed woman. There is a birthday cake with lit candles. The words "Make a wish citizen." are on the lower part of the artwork.

🦇 MY LORD is currently 50% off! Grab the ebook for just $2 🎃

Queer, slow-burn erotic gothic horror.
The book cover is shown surrounded by tropes. It reads:
Sapphic,
Overcoming trauma.
Polyam F/F/M.
Kill your abusers,
Standalone,
Hurt/comfort,
Kinky lord,
Blood-drinking & cannibalism.

Lord Deminas is known to be cruel. Yet, he's rather protective of Meya, his new chambermaid, and punishes anyone who dares hurt her. Servants regularly vanish, and with the Lord now drinking her blood, Meya and her paramour need to avoid the same happening to either of them.
