Doll Head Switcher

the good dutiful girl responds to the repeated question of “are you cold?” by sweetly and politely answering in the negative until he has asked the requisite three times, increasing the level of pain and discomfort she feels each time. By remaining stoic and sweet and uncomplaining, and by lying about harm she may or may not be experiencing, she earns the story reward of wealth and true love and happiness.

the bad wicked girl complains her head off all three times, and is frozen to a block of ice. no wealth, no warm furs, no fortunate marriage. she fails the test of stoicism and endurance because she accurately describes the situation that is occurring: an otherworldly fatherly being making it colder, then asking her whether or not she thinks it’s cold. He doesn’t kill her because she’s bad or wicked, or ugly, or a terrible stepsister, although those are all common elements in retellings of the story. He kills her because when he makes it cold, and asks her whether or not she thinks it’s cold, she confirms that that is indeed the reality she is experiencing.

I’m so happy to announce that my comic OUTSIDE ARE THE DOGS is slated for a fall release with Silver Sprocket!

Melle, a lonely trans student, is drawn into a mysterious spirituality group through their crush and tasked with caring for the group’s growing pack of angel dogs. As the dogs overrun Melle’s apartment and their health deteriorates, Melle begins to confront a deeper truth about their gender and the conditional love binding them to the cult. When one angel starts to grow sick, Melle must choose between preserving the faith that is destroying them or finally choosing themself.

I’ve spent years working on this now, and it’s finally close to being in people’s hands. If you love queer horror, I hope you’ll love this book.
