It's Halloween so it's time to resurrect my horror novella... 🪦💀🥀 Looking for a short and not so sweet story to read for the season? Try Maleficium for demonic pacts, an occult society, murder, graveyards, and a pair of truly awful men who can’t stay away from each other (for better or worse).

PROMETHEUS comes out on 31st Oct 2026, but here’s a little taste of our stories. Today, we’re getting a snippet quote from our first two stories, TELEOP by Alisa Lee Kowal and A FAULT TO HEAVEN by Christopher Sehmi.

WHITE TITLE TEXT - PROMETHEUS IN QUOTES on a blue-purple gradient transparency box with a white line underneath.

Black transparency box with rounded corners and a slanting transparent box with a teal outline and quotation marks at the corner. Teal text reads: I keep expecting to hear the burst of glass on tile, for the man to release his rage through ruin, his ability to destroy. To let me pick up the pieces and sweep up the shards, a drone designed to bear witness to his private despair. A white speech bubble reads TELEOP outside the quote box.

Black transparency box with rounded corners and a slanting transparent box with a blue outline and quotation marks at the corner. Red text reads:Everyone comes here of their own volition, but no one leaves unchanged. A white speech bubble reads A FAULT TO HEAVEN outside the quote box.

Background features a rainbow holographic overlay over blue and purple holographic scales

I am working my way through a very special little story that is becoming dear to me. Like me, it's anti-hunting and vegan. Writing the first draft as we speak, I think it'll likely end up as a novelette, which will be so fun to publish! I look forward to getting it finished and commissioning art. 🏹

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.
