EMR is a wonderful community member who genuinely cares about supporting others on Substack. His writing is captivating in the dark and light it holds all at once. So many times, I've sat in awe of his writing, specifically his portrayal of deeply human emotions: both the disturbing and the beautiful.
Hands down, always scary. Hylia is constantly trying something new to challenge herself and it pays off. Catch up on her serialized novel or her flash fiction. Can't go wrong.
Underneath the sharp wit and clever humor is a relatable commentary on how painful, awkward, and hilarious it can be to human. My favorite short stories!
My favorite part about Didrik's stories are how easy it is to be transported to another time and another place. Even in a short span, the characters come to life instantly. Dark, disturbing, and also a bit humorous.
Adriane has an undeniable skill of blending horror and dark themes with beauty in both fiction and non-fiction writing. Let her pull at your heart strings while taking you on a gruesome or ghostly journey.
If you could write in chiaroscuro, this would be it. Vivid, full of life, horror, fantasy, surreal fiction.
Honest, vulnerable, the space where beauty and pain become inseparable. Exactly what I've always wanted from poetry and prose. This work feels like floating through a lucid dream.
Truly terrifying and tragically beautiful fiction written with a pulse of folklore and feminine strength. I've learned so much fascinating history from Laura's essays as well.
A must for any fiction writer, this publication is a delightful deep dive into history, folk lore, and psychology as well as modern-day applications of myths, beasts, and other themes often found in fantasy tales.
Sapna is an incredible writer of poetry and stories that get right under one's skin. Vivid, dark, tragic, romantic. Instead of reading her work behind glass, I feel like I am right in the enclosure, watching the action unfold in real time. It might bite me.
I feel privileged to get to read this book and also discuss it with Zachary. Whenever I start a chapter, I struggle to break away. Honest, chaotic, relatable, excellent writing. One of my first favorites on Substack and I will be a fan for life!
