A Lifechanging and Lifesaving Read I reviewed this book back when it first came out, and it is more relevant for the queer community now than ever! I have re-read it more times than I can count, and my copy is officially falling apart. If you are struggling, this book is THE BOOK for you. It isn't horror, but it is written by a transgender woman in the form of letters to the reader with small activities to complete.

Book Review: A Tense Character Driven Thriller with Autism Rep Needle Lake by Justine Champine Synopsis Two cousins on very different sides of adolescent girlhood spend one winter together that changes both of their lives forever. And once, after Elna came to stay, I watched a man drown there on Christmas Eve, his body trapped and twitching beneath the ice. Thirteen-year-old Ida was born with a hole in her heart. Forbidden from most physical activities and considered strange by her teachers and peers, she prefers spending time alone, memorizing countries and capitals on her globe and imagining the world outside the tiny logging town of Mineral, Washington.

In Memory of Matt Mason I first met Matt Mason in the fall of 2024. At the time, we had an ezine called A Bite of Pride, and he had applied to be a staff writer. Since we were both on the asexual spectrum and emphasized how horror can be healing and cathartic, we hit it off immediately! Since then, even when we dissolved our ezine and staff writers, Matt Mason was such a wonderful friend and support.
