Are you into spicy dark fiction that isn't afraid to get dark even during smut? Want "doomed polycule" and "the trauma part before reclaiming your body and pleasure after severe trauma?" Would you like terrible sex demons who are awful to all of the humans involved? Coming 10/1: short.do/pStjaw

One last piece of business for tonight… ultratransgothicapress.art

Black background with a heart shape cutout of an airbrushed drawing of brunched up chrome mirror fabric by PomPoison over three paragraphs of white text.
Text reads:
I started fundraising for Little Death's print run independently because I had no other option as an indie cartoonist living in a fascist wave of politics and economics. Little Death is eroguro, and I'm trans, and while these things are what give my art identity, in the world of capitalism, these things are held against me. After over a half decade of mapping support networks, and building collaborative relationships with others in the industry, it became more and more obvious that erotic/dark work, in combination with being authored by trans people, are the lowest priority for most comics institutions and businesses. I got tired of trying to jump through flaming hoops for scattered crumbs that would be taken away later. I had fans who wanted my books, I had a Chapter 3 to work on, and I did not want the next decade of my career to be defined by the door behind slammed in my face.
I learned how to make my own website, shop, and fundraiser, unable to wait around for insecure people, unwilling to let me participate in my own business, or find me and my business worth their while. My worth is encoded in community.
I asked my fellow comic creators and community organizers to support me and teach me, and didn't compromise on my ethics or art. I also understand this project is bigger than me.
4% of all profits at my shop will be donated to the Free Speech Coalition. I need your help to see this project through, to end this chapter, and begin the next. Your purchase of a book counts as a raffle ticket and puts you in the running for the Grand Prize and Runner Up! Don't wait, because the Raffle closes 09/30, 12:00 EST!

Coming to the conclusion that maybe I don't dislike writing Dark Academia, I just am unable to find the right angle of focus for it. The old version of the first Lost Gods was all over the place in terms that there was basically no structure. I'd be game to play around with that again, but harder.

It is just very funny to be like a NC/CNC artist and be told like I accidentally added in those elements like I didnt mean to. Uh I did! And it's actually hard to play with those boundaries when you don't understand what they are. I can argue that sometimes it makes you more acutely aware of abuse.

vert ⚡️🪶 MELT: REFRAIN OUT NOW @subvertebra.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

MELT: REFRAIN: A 🔞 queer trans horror novel about toxic corporate vampires in love, and other four-letter words. One part Gothic, one part psychological torment; all sex and death. Everything changes for the worst all the time. What are you going to do about it? Available now on Itch & Payhip. 🪦🕊️

Promo image with the cover of MELT: REFRAIN and extra info. It says: a queer trans corporate Gothic horror novel. Non-linear, multi-POV, first in a series.

The cover illustration features two characters, one in bright red, one in dark teal. The man in red is disheveled and smoking, eyes obscured in shadow, and the man in teal is behind him, mostly obscured and dangling a lowball glass over the first man's shoulder. Smoke drifts up from the cigarette, partially obscuring both their faces. The backdrop is black and dark red, and is textured a little like viscera. The title text has a similar texture and is outline in neon red.

Excerpt from MELT: REFRAIN.

If Simon hadn’t been so desperate already, Hector really would bite him open, drink him half-dry and make him woozy and pliant. But Simon’s saucer-wide pupils and laser focus on the red pooling on Hector’s chin and seeping into his beard belie his composure. It’s not like Hector’s ever been turned—no doubt something out there could mold a vampire into something else, though he’d rather not dwell on the possibility—but he’s got the gist over the years, how it eats and eats and eats at someone if they don’t get what they need. Born vampires have it bad enough already; what exquisite agony something even worse must be, the basest parts of oneself parched and undeniable.

Available now on Itch.io and Payhip.

In my vampiric Messiah/cannibal Mary Magdalene WIP, readers should probably be worried whenever Evžen Ševčík, a retired vampire hunter, shows up. It probably doesn't help that the Mary Magdalene character is secretly together with his daughter... while also sleeping with him. But who's to say?
