edit data

Demi-Louise Blackburn is a dark fiction author from a small, tired town in West Yorkshire, England. Some of her morose tales have found homes with the likes of Kandisha Press, All Worlds Wayfarer, Ghost Orchid Press, and The Future Dead Collective.

You may spot the shadow of Demi around the riverbanks of her home, at a festival during summer, or holed away painting during the cooler months. But mostly, you'll find her skulking online, collecting questionable and potentially haunted knickknacks for her office, which is lovingly dubbed 'The Smile Room'.

For further inquiries, find her at demi-louise.com or contact@demi-louise.com ...more

Welcome to Your Body: Lessons in Evisceration

Each limb tells a story. Every organ shares a secret.

Have you brushed up on your anatomy lately?

As always, I am unfashionably late and constantly waylaid when trying to update anything, anywhere. But in May, Welcome to Your Body: Lessons in Evisceration was pulled from the viscera and put under the microscope to inform us all of just how frightening our own bodies can be.

Grim. Not much to say about this aside from the fact I feel similarly about this one as I felt about 'Tampa'. Morbid curiosity sated to excess and felt, often, so eager to raise eyebrows that any real story was lost. Felt like I just spent a few days ...more
