It's a re-reintro after a semi-hiatus!
About me:
You can call me Bee! I'm a queer writer in my late twenties, living in the north of England. Pronouns are she/her.
I mainly write horror and supernatural fiction (with some exceptions) but love to read any genre.
I'm particularly interested in themes of loneliness and isolation, and also complicated and destructive relationships between women. In other words, toxic yuri.
This is not an X-rated blog, but I will often reblog horror-related posts which may contain gore, and may also discuss adult topics so take that into consideration. I won't knowingly follow minors.
Other interests include science (I'm a microbiologist/aspiring PhD candidate!), crafts, history, and music. I have the same music taste as your dad: my URL is a reference to the Frank Turner song and my description is from a song by The Proclaimers.
My WIPS:
I am liable to start a new project at the drop of a hat and hyperfocus on that, so this isn't an all-encompassing list!
The Other Side (Horror/Supernatural, Status: 2nd draft)
Set in 1976. Belle and Kay have been best friends since their first day of Year Seven, despite the the vast class differences between them. Belle is the daughter of the groundskeeper at their boarding school, and has spent almost her whole life inside its grounds. Kay's family are landed gentry. Though the two have always vowed to stick together for life, the differences in their prospects start to show during the summer before their final year - and tragedy occurs. Denied the escape she so desperately wanted, Belle's spirit is left trapped in the school - and bound to Kay.
Aster Yellows, (Body horror, short story, Status: 1st draft)
Eyes start growing all over Maya's body. Her doctor says there's no problem. Her family says the doctors know best. Her friends wonder why she's making such a big deal about it. The story is about the drastic lengths she has to go to to be taken seriously.
Untitled Ghost WIP (Horror/Supernatural, Status: outlining)
Christina hasn't left her flat in five years, and she doesn't intend to either. She has no friends or family and her neighbours barely know she exists, but she has all the company she needs in her cat, Marjorie. When Christina suddenly dies, she finds herself haunting her own apartment, watching her body decompose - and Marjorie begin to starve. As a spirit, Christina has to find a way to contact one of her neighbours in the apartment building and get them to help Marjorie, before it's too late.
