With eccentric, twitchy mannerisms like a lamb carcass infested by bugs, Kate Winborne, aka “The Rotten Girl”, is a surrealist horror-romance author and filmmaker known for her vivid dream imagery, excessive, grotesque depictions of cannibalism, female rage/monstrous femininity, suburban trauma, and indulgences in themes such as hunger/consumption as forms of desire and love as infection/sickness. She is described by her readers alongside contemporary feminist and LGBTQA+ authors in the horror community as the ‘female Lynch.’
