books i read in 2024:

"extasia"

claire legrand

rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️, 5

genre: horror, fantasy, wlw

synopsis:

Her name is unimportant.

All you must know is that today she will become one of the four saints of Haven. The elders will mark her and place the red hood on her head. With her sisters, she will stand against the evil power that lives beneath the black mountain--an evil which has already killed nine of her village's men.

She will tell no one of the white-eyed beasts that follow her. Or the faceless gray women tall as houses. Or the girls she saw kissing in the elm grove.

Today she will be a saint of Haven. She will rid her family of her mother's shame at last and save her people from destruction. She is not afraid. Are you?

[post-sincerity]

I listen to a lot of music. A lot. Far too much. It's unhealthy. My proof is my RateYourMusic page: MordoGoodIGuess. I hate that website, but it's fine.

I also write a lot. And read a lot. And read and write about music a lot.

Which is why I can say that I think TTPD is genuinely horrendous from a writing perspective. The writing on that album is not self-aware, deep, or even some weird, surrealist marvel. It is the expression of otherwise shallow emotions in a way that no person would actually express them (unless they were so divorced from other humans due to exorbitant wealth and dissociating from society...like Taylor Swift). Not only that, but the lyrics are largely disingenuous, self-aggrandizing, and, again, demonstrate a complete lack of self-awareness (something that Taylor has actually demonstrated before!!!!).

I took far more than 2 seconds to understand the creative choices Swift and Antonoff make on that record. I fucking marinated in that shit.

Mind you, this is all the opinion of a likely-neurodivergent, lower-middle-class transfem writer and music producer: a demographic which is not entirely within Taylor's primary fanbase of privileged cis white women (though I am a fairly privileged white woman, ultimately). If you like the album, good on you; but to demean the intelligence of those who don't is genuinely disgusting and downright laughable.

Aside from that though, here's a list of female songwriters, cis and trans, who are far better and more intellectually stimulating that you could check out instead of Taylor Swift:

Annie Clark (St. Vincent)

Adrianne Lenker (Big Thief and her solo work)

Liz Fraser (Cocteau Twins and my namesake)

Ichiko Aoba

Fiona Apple

Trish Keenan (Broadcast, RIP)

Victoria Legrand (Beach House)

Laura Marling

PJ Harvey

Amy Winehouse (RIP)

Lauren Auder

Laufey

Jane Remover

Elliebell

J (Glass Beach)

Helen Ballentine (Skullcrusher)

All of the Boygenius members

Linda Perhacs

My friend Lua Trilogy!

Karly Hartzman (Wednesday)

Sheena Ringo

Haley Heynderickx

Tujiko Noriko

Vivi (STOMACH BOOK)

Angel Olsen

Kristin Hayter (fka Língua Ignota, now Reverend Kristin Michael Hayter)

Chelsea Wolfe

Janis Joplin (RIP)

Diane Cluck

L'Rain

Julie Byrne

Julia Holter

Nia Archives

Pinkpantheress

Roxy Radclyffe

Jessica Bailiff

Aaliyah (RIP)

April Harper Gray (underscores)

Arlo Parks

Indigo de Souza

Julee Cruise (RIP)

SOPHIE (RIP)

Arca

Hope Sandoval

Katie Dey

Sidney Gish

Marika Hackman

Katie Gately

Julia Jacklin

Diamanda Galas

Kara Jackson

Natalie Rose LeBrecht

AND TRUST ME WHEN I SAY THERE'S A LOT MORE!!!

Don't let Taylor have a chokehold on your perception of female songwriters.

this is the best album release of all time because where else are you going to get unironic takes like this and then even get a few hundred people to agree with it

Six Spooky Queer Novels

Labyrinth Lost by Zoraida Córdova

Photo Source Alex is a bruja and the most powerful witch in her family. But she's hated magic ever since it made her father disappear into thin air. So while most girls celebrate their Quinceañera, Alex prepares for her Deathday―the most important day in a bruja's life and her only opportunity to rid herself of magic. But the curse she performs during the ceremony backfires, and her family vanishes, forcing Alex to absorb all of the magic from her family line. Left alone, Alex seeks help from Nova, a brujo with ambitions of his own. -- Amazon

The Gilda Stories by Jewelle L. Gómez

Photo Source The winner of two Lambda Literary Awards (fiction and science fiction) The Gilda Stories is a very lesbian American odyssey. Escaping from slavery in the 1850s Gilda's longing for kinship and community grows over two hundred years. Her induction into a family of benevolent vampyres takes her on an adventurous and dangerous journey full of loud laughter and subtle terror. -- Goodreads

The Drowning Girl by Caitlín R. Kiernan

Photo Source Caitlín R. Kiernan is a master of her craft of dark fantasy-sci-fi horror and The Drowning Girl is an excellent place to start with her books. India Morgan Phelps — aka Imp — begins her first person story by telling the reader that she is schizophrenic and that she’s aware of her own unreliability. This, of course, calls into question the entirety of the book that follows. But this is not a story that asks you to guess whether the supernatural elements are real or whether they are just a product of Imp’s mental health status. Instead, it’s an investigation of how the paranormal — Imp’s encounter with a mysterious figure — interacts with mental illness. This post-modern creepy, if not outright scary story, also features a lesbian relationship between a cis and a trans woman! -- Autostraddle

Ghost Wood Song by Erica Waters

Photo Source Shady Grove inherited her father’s ability to call ghosts from the grave with his fiddle, but she also knows the fiddle’s tunes bring nothing but trouble and darkness. But when her brother is accused of murder, she can’t let the dead keep their secrets. In order to clear his name, she’s going to have to make those ghosts sing. -- Goodreads

Sawkill Girls by Claire Legrand

Photo Source Marion: the new girl. Awkward and plain, steady and dependable. Weighed down by tragedy and hungry for love she’s sure she’ll never find. Zoey: the pariah. Luckless and lonely, hurting but hiding it. Aching with grief and dreaming of vanished girls. Maybe she’s broken—or maybe everyone else is. Val: the queen bee. Gorgeous and privileged, ruthless and regal. Words like silk and eyes like knives, a heart made of secrets, and a mouth full of lies. Their stories come together on the island of Sawkill Rock, where gleaming horses graze in rolling pastures and cold waves crash against black cliffs. Where kids whisper the legend of an insidious monster at parties and around campfires. Where girls have been disappearing for decades, stolen away by a ravenous evil no one has dared to fight… until now. -- Goodreads

The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

Photo Source Written in his distinctively dazzling manner, Oscar Wilde’s story of a fashionable young man who sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty is the author’s most popular work. The tale of Dorian Gray’s moral disintegration caused a scandal when it first appeared in 1890, but though Wilde was attacked for the novel’s corrupting influence, he responded that there is, in fact, “a terrible moral in Dorian Gray.” Just a few years later, the book and the aesthetic/moral dilemma it presented became issues in the trials occasioned by Wilde’s homosexual liaisons, which resulted in his imprisonment. Of Dorian Gray’s relationship to autobiography, Wilde noted in a letter, “Basil Hallward is what I think I am: Lord Henry what the world thinks me: Dorian what I would like to be—in other ages, perhaps. -- Goodreads
