I'm writing (and posting on Wattpad!) a gothic horror romance about a young woman named Valentina pursuing forbidden knowledge that puts her on a path of macabre depravity and unhinged insanity. There's also a magician her age that has to share his body with an unknown entity that possessed him and he's trying to get his body back before the entity overtakes him. He and Valentina enter a codependent, vaguely platonic (with unresolved sexual tension), homicidal relationship which consumes both of their minds and souls. If you want to check it out on Wattpad, it's called The Crimson Children by meatormenta <3

If you see this, tell me about your book

Whether it's a published book, a wip, or just something you're imagining for now, I want to hear about it! Share some art, too, if you have some!

Tagging a few people who I don't think would mind, but lemme know if you don't want to be tagged in the future! Fyi, to anyone seeing this, you can always tag me <3
