"Though, if I was honest with myself, I occasionally missed the thrill of imagining I could be someone special, someone with starfire in her veins." 🥺😭

The assumption that society's rules are in place to protect you, when in reality they slowly eat away at you for the sole benefit of those in power #HorrorWritersChat

Hi! I'm Melissa, and I write horror to soothe my dark side, which is probably why I gravitate towards cosmic horror. My latest work was influenced by Brom's Lost Gods, and motherhood (cuz y'all--it's terrifying).

Does the donut scene from Pluribus count as body horror? Cuz 😱

Totally obsessed with the subline ingenuity of this bag! This "1/1 beaded bag", made with glass beads, crystals and scrap leather, took approximately 50 hours and it shows. Amazing work by Rachel Ellenbogen #beautifulbizarre #artmagazine #wearableart #couture #beadedbag #fashion #art

I got 10/10 on this. When it's a matter of directly comparing a real picture to a fake one...the fake ones look fake! Shiny and perfect and glossy. Less easy when it's not a direct comparison obv, but in general, if it looks too good to be true...
