Bloom

horror novella

a recently divorced academic becomes infatuated with a woman who sells soaps and cupcakes at the farmers market

she fast becomes closer to her, visiting her isolated farm and exploring her newfound queerness, while ignoring the red flags that she might not be the one with the dangerous obsession and secrets

#bloom #delilah s. dawson #aroaessidhe 2024 reads #sapphic books #naive woman has sapphic awakening and ignores the red flags because Women Are So New And Different Is This Normal #Hm. I have mixed feelings on this.#To start with oh god why is the narration so goddamn chipper.#I guess you could say it’s intentional- with her personality- and creates an interesting juxtaposition #but it’s just a little disconcerting to go into something I’m assuming is horror and the narration to sound bubblier than a 15yo disney mc #i feel like i would have enjoyed it more if it were stylistically more gothic or atmospheric or sexy tbh #like i do enjoy some fucked up sapphics conceptually I just was never very attached to these characters?#*sees the girl I have a crush on beat a racoon to death* - well I’ve never been attracted to a woman before maybe that’s normal #the ending though. jesus christ. okay then.
