📝 Description: Providence Girls: A Sapphic Horror Romance
Love changes you. So do the Outer Gods. Now: Alone in a cottage, Lavinia writes to the woman she loved. Fifteen years ago: Middle-aged Lavinia Whateley escapes her hilly Massachusetts town when the townsfolk decide to sacrifice her on Halloween. After almost dying in the woods, she's saved and housed by the stoic and mysterious Asenath Waite, or Azzie. On the coastal outskirts of East Providence, they start to fall in love. However, things change when Azzie, with her secret past and the strange "scars" on the side of her neck, begins to transform into an eldritch creature of the deep. A story inspired by the "doomed" women in H. P. Lovecraft's "The Thing on the Doorstep" and "The Dunwich Horror." Contains mature themes.

This book appeals specifically to fans of queer gothic fiction and those weary of Lovecraft’s original misogyny. It succeeds in humanizing his 'doomed' women, offering a poignant counter-narrative. However, it may not suit readers seeking pure, unadulterated cosmic indifference without emotional anchoring, nor those who dislike romance tropes within horror. It is best for those willing to engage with mature themes and complex identity politics wrapped in supernatural horror.
