happy hauntings, witches!

I wish I could promise you that this space will be one thing for you to enjoy, but alas, I love to create and consume and this is a love letter to my life.

Steep a cup of tea and sit with me a moment!

Horror, a lifestyle

Horror as a format for storytelling and creativity is one of my most favorite.

Here’s what I’ve been reading and watching in the genre lately…

Raine's Altar

From Below

The recently discovered abandoned ship, the Arcadia, has not yet had its fill of death, and something dark and hungry watches from below.

The Complete Cthulhu Mythos Tales by H.P. Lovecraft

A series of stories that evoked cosmic awe and terror through their accounts of incomprehensibly alien monsters and their horrifying incursions into our world.

Blood on Her Tongue

The Netherlands, 1887. Lucy's twin sister Sarah is unwell. She refuses to eat, mumbles nonsensically, and is increasingly obsessed with a centuries-old corpse recently discovered on her husband's grand estate.

A God in the Shed

When a dark spirit reveals itself to Venus McKenzie, one of Saint-Ferdinand's teenage residents, she learns that this creature's power has a long history with her town-and that the serial murders merely scratch the surface of a past burdened by evil secrets.

Kill Creek

At the end of a dark prairie road, nearly forgotten in the Kansas countryside, is the Finch House. For years it has remained empty, overgrown, abandoned. Soon the door will be opened for the first time in decades.

With so much to hold near,

it makes sense that I crave

to create.

Full Moon Magic, a ritual

As I journey further into motherhood and being a writer, curator, and all-around creative, this space is what I have to offer and reveal to you.

Raine's Altar

A Dowry of Blood

In this dark, fantasy sensation, S. T. Gibson spins the gothic, seductive tale of Dracula's first bride, Constanta.

This is my last love letter to you, though some would call it a confession. . .

Saved from the brink of death by a mysterious stranger, Constanta is transformed from a medieval peasant into a bride fit for an undying king. But when Dracula draws a cunning aristocrat and a starving artist into his web of passion and deceit, Constanta realizes that her beloved is capable of terrible things.
