[close] Welcome to Velvet Veils, a book group dedicated to exploring the depths of literary works that blend dark psychological horror with the feminine mind. While our primary focus is on gothic and thought-provoking themes, all books—and all women—are welcome (LGBTQ+ FRIENDLY)! Together, we’ll explore haunting stories, analyze their layered themes, and share our thoughts and opinions in a supportive, engaging space. Beyond the pages, this group is also a chance to connect with like-minded readers, forge meaningful friendships, and express a shared love of the eerie, the beautiful, and the profound.

[close] Bizarro fiction is a contemporary literary genre, which often uses elements of absurdism, satire, and the grotesque, along with pop-surrealism and genre fiction staples, in order to create subversive, weird, and entertaining works. Splatterpunk is the result when horror fiction met bizarro and had a gender nonconforming baby. Hatched in the 1980s, because yes the chicken really did come first, it is distinguished by graphic and gratuitously gory depictions of violence. All these genres share a countercultural alignment. We read that stuff (someone has to), and other abnormal fiction, then write publicly to one another here about the experience of reading it. If you join this group, you can too.
