NYGEL tends to straddle (heh) the line between desire and horror. What makes us different from a horror mag is that our focus is always pleasure in queer exploration. Nothing w/ the intent to shock or disgust: it must be written w/ respect to the genre & with the intent to titillate and indulge.🌈🐙💦
