i chose this edition specifically because it has some gorgeous illustrations and is edited by a well-revered queer author... what more could one ask for in a vampire novel!?
tender is the flesh is next on my October list after seeing a good review from gothbubbe (the ebook is on a very long hold at my library but it’s just $3 on apple books!) & i might try do an annihilation re-read after i finish that! the fourth in the series comes out this month…!

🕯there’s so many classics I could’ve chosen as my favorite since I enjoyed reading them since I was a kid. The Penguin Classics were great and usually free on Kindle. this one is special to me because it’s what got me into gothic literature and the goth subculture in general (romantic goth being my favorite). it was interesting to see just how different the book is to the modern interpretation of it. most of them aren’t accurate (surprise, surprise). I can’t wait for Guillermo Del Toro’s Frankenstein movie coming out this year in November on Netflix. I hope it doesn’t disappoint. some other classics I’ve read includes Dracula, Carmilla, Interview With The Vampire, and The Invisible Man. I’ve also really gotten into the Universal Monsters franchise. I’m glad I get to share all of this at least somewhat with my roommates, but more in depth with my cousin who’s fascinated by all of it as well.

🧵currently reading It Came from the Closet: Queer Reflections on Horror by Joe Vallese.
400 pages, filled with tremendously raw and revealing essays. writers wear their hearts on their sleeves, as they prep the discussion of horror and its organically queer identity.
totes recommend to anyone who checks the box for queer, ally, and/or horror-nerd.

🤓being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and it’s actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic you’re passionate about

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKER’S DAY!!!! i love having a union, i love being a union steward and getting to support my unit. when my union won its contract, i got a pay bump, better benefits, and increased protection as a worker. 🥳
unions help address racial and gender pay gaps, issues workplaces impose on families and those having kids, addressing unsafe conditions, plus things like better health insurance, wages and overtime, weingarten rights to representation, and more!!!
if you don’t have a union but are thinking about forming one, check out AFL-CIO’s page (linked) or Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee. there’s always more power in a union!! ✊🥖🌹
