The Turning of the Screw is one of those stories where it doesn't matter how many times I read it, I will still have no idea what actually happened. But that's kind of the point!

The stories I love to read: Horror-tinged sci-fi, dark slipstream, stories with little to no dialogue, post-apocalyptic and apocalyptic narratives, uncanny nonhuman characters, and weird fiction.

What I wish I saw in the reading queue: More of the above!

I have a story shaped thing out in @btgardenmag.bsky.social today. It’s inspired by an 18th century Irish poem, “Cúirt an Mheán Oíche,” and the anxiety of driving in New England winters. Thank you to the wonderful editors for seeing something in my approach to the aisling !

If you haven't seen The Lair of the White Worm, you need to see The Lair of the White Worm, if only for the scene where Amanda Donohoe emerges from a wicker basket like some kind of snake woman (because she is some kind of snake woman)
