Lina Rather
"An entrancing and transformative queer tale of cosmic horror, unbelonging, and self-definition."
thumb
They Drown Our Daughters (2022)
Katrina Monroe
"A haunting, intimately heartbreaking legacy of trauma and horror, soaked in seaspray and endlessly compelling. Once you hear the ocean's song, you won't be able to leave Cape Disappointment behind!"
