kurapikawithagun:fluoresensitive:fluoresensitive:IT’S WARM IN HERE by Yah Yah Scholfield / 11.k words / Gothic Space Horror + Eldritch Space Horror IT’S BACK! One of my favorite pieces and one of the first pieces of short fiction I’ve ever published! It’s Warm in Here is … ugh, it’s perfect, it’s got outerspace, it’s got intrigue and horror and fear, it’s reclaiming Lovecraftian horror from that racist white man, it’s written by a talented Black ingenue it’s so! It’s Warm in Here, like all my stories, is about balance, familial and community bonds and the evening of scales. What makes something equal? How much blood is enough blood? Like and reblog if you enjoy, and of course! Leave me messages and reviews!A MORE RECENT UPDATED VERSION OF THE STORY IS ON MY WEBSITE, WOW!I just have to say…I love this one so much. Especially this new updated version. If I were in a situation where I had to provide evidence that genre fiction and literary fiction aren’t mutually exclusive, I’d read this to the Court of Literature Discourse. It’s like, Southern Reach trilogy (evocative, poetic, weird imagery) meets House of Leaves (the distinctly unheimlich, sentient presence of the setting) meets Beloved (interpersonal relationships and trauma haunting a space)…While also being very much its own unique, heavily breathing beast? IN SPACE? Love that. Love that so much. -- source link
