Publication Announcement: Comedy Horror: “Polar Bear Plunge”

White text on a black background reads, "The Last Girls Club. indie feminist horror 'zine. may the shadows embrace you and the monsters fear you more. Fucked up, funny, and sometimes bloody...just like you." There is also a white line drawing of a goat's head.

I am thrilled to announce the publication of my comedic horror short story “Polar Bear Plunge” in issue #11 Fall Equinox 2023 themed This One’s for the Weirdos of The Last Girls Club. The Last Girls Club is an indie feminist horror ‘zine.

There are a lot of different definitions of feminist horror. The one I like best is, as opposed to abusing women in a voyeuristic way, feminist horror speaks to a unique terror that is connected to the ‘female’ existence. (The MarySue) In my short story, the uniquely terrifying female existence that’s being explored is a mother outsourcing her own identity into her daughter, and what that does to the daughter.

Here’s a blurb about my piece:

It was the first night of Julie’s sixth summer in a row at Camp Piney Hills. But it also would be her last. Enjoy this exploration of mother/daughter issues mixed with a send-up to campy 1980s slasher movies.

If you do purchase the issue, my story starts on page 28.
