Horror

She Walks in Shadows

by Gemma Files

Women writers and artists reclaim Lovecraftian horror, bringing fresh perspectives to cosmic dread and ancient terrors. These stories resurrect familiar names from the mythos—Lavinia, Asenath, forbidden goddesses—but center the experiences and agency of those Lovecraft marginalized or erased. Gemma Files curates a collection that transforms eldritch horror into a space for feminist exploration of power, madness, and the shadows that have always belonged to women.
