Books

good omens, uzumaki, warau kyuuketsuki, the picture of dorian gray, anything related to lgbtq history (esp Lou Sullivan). the vampire chronicles + the well of loneliness even though they're questionable. I haven't read much in the Weird Fiction category/genre, but based on how I've enjoyed the little I have read + fiction podcasts influenced by it, it's probably one of my favorites? I also hope to read more Flannery O'Connor, & horror manga/manga in general.

Heroes

people who care about the world & the creatures in it .
