Hey, queerly beloved! Since there are so many new people, I figured we'd take a moment to talk about why you should read my queer horror books, The #AmeliaTemple Series Because they are EXTREMELY GOOD if you are into the sort of thing they are (If I may say so myself) (Which I may) - ThreadSky

This is Amelia Temple, the series' titular heroine. She is a serious young lady with a very personal relationship with the dimensions of space and time. Despite being raised in an environment of neglect and isolation, she tries her best to connect with others, although she doesn't always know why

Here's how readers describe her! I'm sure you'll love her too

I've described The Amelia Temple Series as belonging to a few genres - cosmic horror, body horror, paranormal fantasy - but really, it's mainly in the "Making HP Lovecraft roll in his grave" genre, which is proud company to keep

Amelia is basically "what if Wilbur Whateley was a trans woman"

I keep meaning to look into this for the blog, since it's about the third time it's come up on my radar, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Too many books, too little time.

"Too many books" is a wonderful problem to have, tho!

Please let me know if you ever discuss my stuff 💖🖤

Estrogen would have fixed her

Beneath Strange Lights, the first book, follows Amelia at 17 as she makes her first ever friends in the small town near the government compound where she grew up. In Chatham Hills, MD, she discovers diner food, kissing girls and a conspiracy of mad science wizards out to summon something horrible

Sure, there's a trope map. Readers these days love trope maps, I guess

That's not what Horror looked like
First off, the boy was invisible😌

I know what I'm taking about, I just read Providence Girls by Morgan Dante where his mom is in lesbians with an Innsmouth woman.

It's a pretty good Wilbur!

Providence Girls was so good, tho

(Horror is, obviously, Wilbur's twin brother😌😌😌😌)
