Hey! I'm Sam, and I'm in the US (don't hold that against me). I use they/she pronouns. Would love to make some new internet friends to share ideas and funny memes with!

Aquarius? I don't really buy into astrology as a sure thing, but I certainly can't deny that we're all made of star dust. Besides, it's fun! Is that very Aquarius of me?

Queer! Late-blooming lesbian? Was in a 15-year relationship with a cis-man and identified as bi until mid-2025. But I believe gender and sexuality are fluid!

Parent! I have a 4-year-old, and he's really cool. Trying to raise him to be a decent human being.

Crafts! Typical ADHD person who tries a new hobby every 5 minutes. I like cross stitch, knitting, crocheting, cardmaking, and most recently have started my first loom weaving project. Very into folk art and what has historically been considered "women's hobbies."

Movies! Love watching movies, reading about them, and analyzing everything in them. Was a video producer/editor in a past life.

Horror fan! I am really into horror, but it's not the ONLY kind of media I'm into. Just started reading more horror last year, so send me your horror book recommendations!

Music! I'm mainly a drummer, but I dabble in other instruments as well. Also love listening to all sorts of genres. I have been really into hyper-pop and death metal lately.

Politics! very left. Fuck ICE. Free Palestine. Eat the rich.

Thanks for reading my novel.

@zem Howdy, Zem! Welcome. Always good to have more horror fans here. I am he/they.

I’m a horror reader too, more in the gothic realm (DuMaurier, Shirley Jackson, Poe).

And a Gemini who doesn’t believe in astrology no matter how closely I track to my sign.

Also ADHD, probably AuDHD. Hurray for multiple (sometimes fleeting) interests!

@colorblindcowboy @zem haha amazing! I was just writing to someone else that I think Rebecca is maybe my favorite book ever and I also love Shirley Jackson. I once heard someone describe Shirley Jackson as more "terror" than "horror," and that's something I can get behind.

@zem @zem It’s true, since terror is suspecting and horror is knowing.

I recently read DuMaurier’s short story collection “Don’t Look Now” and it is excellent.

@colorblindcowboy That one is on my shelf and has been staring me down for a while now.
