One Flesh, One End, Bitch.

Hey everyone! I've had my writeblr intro as a pinned post for a long time but I realized that you don't actually get to see any of my WIPs on it because they're all at the bottom! So I'm remaking it and turning it into a sort of masterpost (that I can edit and add to as I make more and more WIP intros etc)!

Facts You Should Know/About Me:

my name is Dori, I'm 24, and I use they/them pronouns primarily (but will answer to anything tbh), I'm as queer as they come, and am also autistic with a dash of BPD!

I'm currently getting my masters in creative fiction and I've been writing as long as I can remember. I'm also an AVID D&D PLAYER and I've been DMing off and on for the past few years! (I also love Solo RPGs and Journaling Games, so hit me up for recs!)

I'm primarily a writer of science fiction, fantasy, horror, magical realism, speculative fiction, that kind of thing. If it seems unrealistic, I'm your bitch. Also most of my stories will feature heavy LGBTQ+ themes.

I'm OPEN TO ASKS, TAGS, TAG GAMES, REQUESTS, ALL OF IT! Please interact with me, I love new friends!

Feel free to shoot me a message anytime if you want to be friends or even just talk, I'm always open!

<3

Hello friends! I know I don't post on here often. I'm much more active on twitter now (same handle, come find me!) but I thought I'd stop in and share some relevant links with you.

My debut novella, Antenora, is available to be preordered and added on Goodreads and all of that good stuff. This one is southern gothic sapphic horror, lots of religious trauma, lots of gay pining. I hope you like it. Coming 10/01/24, very Ethel-Cain-core.

If you like that, but want it shorter, my chapbook Someone Else's Blood, Someone Else's Love which is coming from dogleech books on 08/16/24. You can add that one on Goodreads too :) It's a nasty little revenge story with a terrible wedding and lots of fire and more gay yearning.

Also! I had ANOTHER chapbook come out on 07/20/24, this one is classically gothic and deeply epistolary and it's called The Same Stars. You can order it here or also add it on Goodreads. It's about a blind, chronically ill girl who is on a journey to understand her inheritance and also escape her terrible brother.

I've got some more chapbooks coming soon, lots of erotic horror which is very fun, and then some more gothic and spooky and gross things that I'm working on as well. One of them is a sapphic love letter to friday the 13th, and another is a story about wanting to fuck the sun (?)

Antenora: Dante’s ninth circle of hell reserved for traitors to their country.

What really happened to Nora Willet? The religious community of Bethel, Alabama can’t agree on the truth. They always said she was trouble. Later, they said she was possessed. Maybe she lost her mind, killing three people and injuring many others.

In a part confessional, part plea for Nora to come home, Nora’s childhood friend Abigail Barnes tells of another girl’s gruesome eighteenth birthday, of the time Nora may have fully revived a snake, of the intimacy of their private encounters at the lakeside, of Nora’s deliverance ceremony. Where, Abigail wonders, is Nora now?

In this tender and horrific debut, religious dogmatism sniffs out two girls whose innocent affections threaten an entire town and way of life, making one a traitor to a homeland in which only Abigail and Nora know the bittersweet truth. A homeland in which Nora can only say, “There’s a snake speaking to me, Abby-girl.”

I’m thrilled to share the cover and release date for my DEBUT NOVELLA, ANTENORA! This book will be released from Creature Publishing on October 1st of this year!
