Author Spotlight: Tamara Jerée
Check out this wonderful essay on sapphic, Black, paranormal romances from Tamara Jerée. Tamara is the author of The Fall That Saved Us, a current club read out today!
As writers, we often hear that we should write the book we want to read. For me, that’s meant writing into a niche that feels largely unacknowledged. The more descriptors I stack—sapphic, Black, paranormal, romance—the shorter the list of books becomes. Finding darker sapphic romance by and about lesbians of color is hard. Stepping into a bookstore, I often feel like there is still a narrow range within which the publishing industry will allow us to exist. Readers don’t seek out our books in the same ways. Especially when compared to the diverse range of literary experiences for white women, I feel the lack.
I can immediately think of a few adult titles that fit into the Black sapphic paranormal romance genre. There’s Darknesses by Lachelle Seville, a romance featuring a sapphic Dracula. I was excited to find that Fiona Zedde, whose contemporary romances kept popping up as a recommendation for me, also writes paranormal romance. Every Dark Desire is the first in her vampire series. (If you’re interested in a comprehensive list, Tuesday Harper maintains a searchable database of Black WLW books here. I stumbled upon some new titles for my TBR!)
In lieu of paranormal romance, I often find myself reaching for sapphic horror to fill out my moody reading list. The Wicked and the Willing by Lianyu Tan is an F/F erotic horror novel set in Singapore that follows a maidservant and her vampire mistress. House of Hunger by Alexis Henderson is a gothic horror novel that doesn’t call its vampires vampires but nevertheless satisfied my need for bloody, brooding sapphics.
I’m compelled by erotic horror—and horror that winks at the erotic—because it confronts our personal and cultural fears and, in doing so, leaves us with nothing more to be scared of. Here, look at our depth and ugliness and resilience and strange pleasures. Ultimately, look at how we survived. Those darker elements influence all my work. I want the catharsis of safely staring down weird and terrible things. When combined with the structure of romance, the guaranteed HEA reassures. Maybe you’ve been through a long night, but you deserve happiness.
I want to talk about the first novel in the Black lesbian paranormal genre that ever made me feel seen as a writer, the one that sank its teeth into me and made me think this is possible; this is where my work wants to be. Published in 1991, The Gilda Stories by Jewelle Gomez follows a queer Black vampire through the antebellum era and into the present before casting her and her chosen family into a speculative future. The novel isn’t a romance, but it does catalogue Gilda’s lovers through the ages—who she chooses to bring into immortal life and how they care for each other in a hostile world.
In the introduction, Gomez discusses how nervous she was about the book because lesbians in her community were skeptical of the rep. Attaching something taboo like vampirism to a Black lesbian protagonist? It was risky. Their concerns remind me so much of the debate in queer circles today over what depictions of ourselves and our communities are proper. We worry about writing people like us as villains or monsters because it would give fuel to hegemonic perspectives that are already eager to see us as deviant and evil.
As one of those readers and writers who finds power in reclaiming the monster, of being an antagonist to an unjust society, I’m thankful for Gilda. And I’m so glad Gomez took the risk. It’s empowered me as a Black lesbian writing romance that confronts heavy themes of mental illness and healing from abuse through a paranormal and fantastic lens. In my debut novel The Fall That Saved Us, Avitue—the succubus love interest—is an unrepentant villain, a sexy bad girl unafraid to show her teeth to a world that’s hurt her. She’s a monster because others have said so, and she wears the title as a badge of honor. The main character Cassiel, however, views Avitue as a savior—from her scarred past and a stagnant present.
The Gilda Stories expanded for me what we can be and do. There’s an infinite number of Black stories we can tell. Black people can be anything we want, including the hot lady monster who gets the girl.

2024 Horror Challenge: [17/?]
↳“Why are you doing this?" "Why not?" The Strangers: Prey at Night (2018) dir. Johannes Roberts
Plot: A family of four staying at a secluded mobile home park for the night are stalked and then hunted by three masked psychopaths.
Starring: Christina Hendricks, Martin Henderson, Bailee Madison & Lewis Pullman
Well, at least I'm finally watching a movie that didn't just come out this year this time. lol I'm getting ready to watch the new Strangers movie out of curiosity (tho my expectations continue to lower even more the more I hear about it) and it occurred to me that I'd never watched this one. It felt like I should mostly because I've seen the reactions over it to be way more vocal than for the original and I needed to see where I stood. As someone who wasn't a particular fan of the first one, I actually didn't hate this one?? lol Like, yeah, very bad decisions are made throughout by people to an almost comical degree but I was more entertained this time, which I think with a movie like this, that's really all I'm aiming for. The original has a few moments that are actually pretty memorable (if you've seen it, you know which ones) but I do think there were plenty in here as well. I'm already very sick of the "Is Tamara home?" schtick that Dollface uses with the victims so I know I'll be annoyed when I watch the remake (everyone who's watched it declared it impossible to be a prequel so that's what I'm calling it now) I will say I loved the unexpected needle drops in this movie so props to the soundtrack people for the choices. And well, the acting was committed so props to that too. And I liked the setting of a trailer park. Is it a great movie? Not necessarily but minus the dumb decisions made by everyone, I was pretty entertained and isn't that all you want from a movie like this? Be honest. Or maybe I just was in the mood for a clear homage to 80's slashers. lol

Media List 2023
Ok I’m making a list of the things I want to watch/read/have been suggested to me etc before I lose track lol and so people can look if they want to see I guess. I’m putting suggestions on this list too even if I haven’t looked into them very hard and I think it goes without saying that just because it’s on the list doesn’t mean I’ll get to it.
None of these are in any real order, but I’m doing a numbered list so I can use a random number generator if I’m getting decision paralysis. I’m putting where I can personally watch them for reference, they may be available other places that I don’t have a subscription to.

Ah, the “movie-of-the-week” in the Seventies in the States, when the family gathered around the boob tube deciding which network to watch. On occasion, the decision was to catch a scary movie, perhaps, such as this episode’s topic, Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark (1973). The film is littered with small, creepy, whispering “demons” out to get Sally (Kim Darby). Will they succeed in claiming Sally as one of their own? All the while, her husband (Jim Hutton) and their handyman (William Demarest) argue on the phone and her friend (Barbara Anderson) gets locked out of the house. How does this TV quickie hold up? Trust that the grue Crew has an opinion.
At the time of this writing, Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark is available to stream from archivedotorg and PPV from Google Play and YouTube, and on physical media in Blu-ray format from Warner Archives.
Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1970s is part of the Decades of Horror two-week rotation with The Classic Era and the 1980s. In two weeks, the next episode, chosen by Chad, will be The Alien Factor (1978), a science fiction, horror film shot on a micro-budget with some ringers hiding in the credits for the film’s special effects.
