LGBTQ+ Horror Book and Film Recommendations
October 4, 2021 October 3, 2021 Veronika @ Wordy and Whimsical
Hello friends! We are really excited to kick off Spooky October – a month long event leading up to Halloween – with our first guest poster of the month, Destiny @ Howling Libraries. Asking Destiny to guest-post for us was a no-brainer, as one of her blog's focus is horror and her recommendations have never led me astray. We're excited to present Destiny's post for you today, so without further ado, let's jump into it. 🎃
by Destiny @ Howling Libraries
Happy October! This is my favorite month, and spooky posts are my favorites to write, so I was very happy when Veronika and Sabrina invited me to write a guest feature! When it was time to choose a topic, I realized no theme appealed to me more than taking a moment to write a queer horror recommendations post.
As a queer woman, I know how rare it can be to find good, inclusive horror stories — but thankfully, the past few years has given us this incredible explosion of horror books, especially from queer indie authors. I've compiled a few of my favorites here to tell you about, and I've even thrown in a few movie recommendations at the end of the post!
1. The Lamb Will Slaughter the Lion by Margaret Killjoy
This is a delightful horror/fantasy novella with an incredibly queer cast, including an incredible anarcho-punk queer woman as the lead. Danielle Cain goes to the utopian town of Freedom, Iowa seeking clues about her best friend's death, but when she arrives, finds herself drawn into a shocking turn of events. The townsfolk have summoned a protector spirit to keep everyone in line, but the spirit has begun to turn on its summoners, and it's up to Danielle to find out why — and if she can save her new friends.
2. Rolling in the Deep by Mira Grant
If you love Seanan McGuire, but are unfamiliar with Mira Grant, may I have the pleasure of introducing you? Mira Grant is the pseudonym under which Seanan writes her spookiest and most shocking stories, and this one is a delight. It's the novella prequel to her full novel Into the Drowning Deep, and I highly recommend starting with this precursor. A cruise ship sets off to film a documentary on mermaids, but they never expected to actually find them — or for these creatures to be so vicious. If casual queer and disabled rep coupled with terrifying, murderous mermaids appeals to you, you're in for a real treat.
3. The Girl in Red by Christina Henry
I feel that this is one of Henry's lesser-known works, but it might be my favorite. This Little Red Riding Hood retelling features a queer, disabled main character whose entire world has been thrown into chaos with the beginning of a zombie-esque apocalypse. While the end of the world is a terrifying enough thought on its own, Red quickly realizes that the real monsters are usually human, and in a world full of cruel, greedy men, she learns that she, too, can be a wolf.
4. The Monster of Elendhaven by Jennifer Giesbrecht
If you're looking for a horror story that probably won't give you nightmares but will definitely disturb you, this dark fantasy/horror hybrid novella is just for you. In the city of Elendhaven, there lives a monster: a man named Johann who has learned that he cannot die. When he meets a frail yet wicked magician, the two become an unlikely duo and form a strange, dark romantic bond in the meantime. Be forewarned that this one features a tremendous amount of violence as well as a very messed up relationship, but the writing is captivating and the characters are like a disaster I couldn't look away from.
5. When I Arrived at the Castle by Emily Carroll
Have you ever thought to yourself, "What I wouldn't give for a gothic horror romance between two monster-ladies in a creepy old castle, but make it a gorgeous graphic novel"? If that sentence sounds like something you might say, you're going to need this story in your life. Emily Carroll's art is striking and haunting, and this twisted romance reminds me of everything I love about old gothic horror tales. It's somehow bloody, erotic, and incredibly quiet all at the same time, and would be the perfect read for a crisp, rainy fall evening with the lights turned low.
6. In the Shadow of Spindrift House by Mira Grant
I couldn't possibly make this list without another Mira Grant mention, as she is, in my opinion, one of the legends of queer stories. This novella is for all of my fellow Scooby-Doo lovers, because this story follows a group much like the Mystery Gang (without the dog, though, sadly) who goes on one final hunt together to a crumbling manor by the sea. Once they arrive, they find that something has been protecting the secrets in Spindrift House, and it doesn't plan to let those mysteries be revealed so easily.
7. To Be Devoured by Sara Tantlinger
First, let me be very clear when I say that this novella is not for the faint of heart (or weak of stomach). I tried to primarily compile this list of books that I think most horror lovers would enjoy, but despite knowing this book is the most "extreme" on this list, I had to include it. Not only does it feature a sapphic main couple at its core, but it also has nestled itself so deeply under my skin that I don't think I could ever forget it. To Be Devoured follows Andi, a young woman who has been stricken with the irrepressible need to know the taste of carrion. While her girlfriend Luna desperately tries to help her through these alien urges, Andi finds herself heading down a path she can never return from. (Available on Kindle Unlimited!)
8. The Whites of Their Eyes: A Collection of Queer Horror by Xen
Anyone who knows me well, knows I adore Cole McCade's romance books, but you might not know he's also written a bit of horror under other names! This collection of short stories is chock-full of queer rep, including one of the most lovable elderly asexual couples you've ever met. You should go into this collection knowing that Xen, much like myself, is a believer in the idea that if we wish to support queer authors, we have to allow them to explore themes that might not always be comfortable — this is first and foremost a horror short story collection, and characters in horror tales don't always get happy endings. That said, the representation is delightfully well-done, the writing is beautiful, and these stories chilled me to my core. (Available on Kindle Unlimited!)
9. The Low, Low Woods by Carmen Maria Machado
If you like a bit of heartbreak with your horror, Carmen Maria Machado always delivers, especially in this graphic novel. This book is absolutely terrifying, full of ghosts and goosebumps, but more than that, there is something horrific and devastating in a very "real world" sense about its final reveal. It features queer women of color as the protagonists, and they are lovable to a degree that I still ache when I think about the horrors they experience within these pages — but if you need a good cry with your spine-tingling chills every now and then, I can't recommend anything more strongly than this.
10. The Strange Thing We Become and Other Dark Tales by Eric LaRocca
And finally, I'm closing the bookish portion of this list out with a recent favorite short story collection. If you follow the queer horror scene at all, you've probably heard of this author, whose novella Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke has topped the charts for the past several months. While I loved that novella, I may have enjoyed this collection even more. Eric has an incredible way with weaving horror and trauma in their stories, so be aware that this is one of the most upsetting and disturbing recommendations I've featured here, but if you're comfortable with the content warnings, I highly encourage you to give it a read.
And now, a few horror films my fellow queer horror lovers might want to check out during this spooky season:
1. The Perfection (2018): One of my favorite horror films in recent years, featuring queer women as two musical prodigies who form an unlikely relationship that quickly turns shocking.
2. Jennifer's Body (2007): Not a personal favorite, but I had to include it for its iconic casual bi girl rep. That said, this movie is almost 15 years old and absolutely shows its age in some of the verbiage used, so be aware if you're new to this one.
3. Spiral (2019): In the 90s, a gay couple moves to small town to raise their teen daughter, but nothing is as it seems and they begin to wonder if their new neighbors have sinister motives. As a queer viewer, there was something very real about the stakes in this film.
4. Lizzie (2018): I don't know why I never hear anyone talk about this film, but it's an incredibly sapphic take on the Lizzie Borden story, and K-Stew knocked it out of the park. I'm a shameless Kristen Stewart fangirl, so I might be biased, but I thought this quiet, "slow dread" period piece deserved a lot more hype than it got.
5. The Lost Boys (1987): And finally, this one's an oldie but a goodie. I realized earlier this year that a shocking amount of my friends hadn't seen this iconic film, and as far as horror films go, it's not exactly nightmarish, so I especially recommend it for anyone who wants a spooky vibe without being too scared. NOTE: The queer subtext in The Lost Boys is never explicitly outed, but given that the director was an openly gay man, the subtext is remarkably heavy, and the film is widely claimed by the queer community as our own, I felt like it deserved a spot here.
Thank you for reading! I hope you found something eerie and queer to add to your TBR (or watchlist), and I hope you have a delightfully wicked spooky season. 🎃

Thank you for this post! I was just looking for some spooky books to read.
Destiny @ Howling Libraries says:
I hope you find some you enjoy! ♥
Louise @ Monstrumology says:
These are such great recs! I only have one LGBTQ+ horror book on my TBR for this month (that I'm aware of) and I'm always on the lookout for diverse horror 😀
Thank you! I hope you enjoy them!
Sabrina @ Wordy and Whimsical says:
This is such an incredible post, Destiny, and I'm so grateful you shared it on Wordy and Whimsical! I love the passion you have for these books.
I'm normally not very interested in horror, but I have added several of these to my TBR!
Thank you so much, Sabrina! ♥ It meant so much to me to be able to join you two in celebrating horror this month! 😀

I have been dipping my toes into more horror, so I loved reading this recommendation post! 💕 The Monster of Elendhaven is on my October TBR and now I'm even more excited to get around to reading it 🥰
YAY, Caro! I hope you love it! 😀
Hi Destiny! Thank you for sharing this post! I've only read In The Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado, but she has such a lyrical way of writing that is both intriguing, but also quite chilling. I'd be willing to give more of her books a try.
Hi Emily, thank you for reading! CMM is such an incredible wordsmith, isn't she? I also really enjoyed her short story collection Her Body and Other Parties if you're ever in the mood for some of her speculative work!
Roberta R. says:
You can never have too much McGuire/Grant in your life! Spindrift House is achingly beautiful.
Agreed! "You can never have too much McGuire/Grant in your life" is basically my life motto! 😂
So many book recs and I've not read a single one, how did this happen? I do have a Mira Grant book on my bookshelf I keep meaning to read and am never in the mood for so maybe this is my sign to just pick it up already. But those film choices! It looks like I need to Watch Spiral and The perfection because I've seen the other three and liked them so those should work for me too. I was going to watch Korean dramas over the weekend but maybe I'll watch horror films instead.
I hope you enjoy the films if you watch them, Becky! I also hope you like Mira Grant's writing when you get the chance. 🙂

The transmission in your car or truck is a very complex part of your car that is tasked with transferring the power generated by the engine to the wheels. The transmission, like the engine, power steering and other automotive systems, requires routine maintenance from time to time. Without scheduled maintenance your vehicle is likely to suffer from some sort of transmission issue. The following are five of the most common signs of transmission trouble. If you notice any of these don't wait to reach out to your local auto repair shop to schedule transmission service.
If the transmission is operated while it is low on fluid it will suffer from harsh friction between the moving gears. This can result in strange noises to occur while shifting, including grinding, whining or buzzing.
A burning smell can represent a couple different problems. If you're driving a manual transmission car it could indicate that your clutch needs replacement. Another issue it could mean is that the transmission fluid is getting too hot.
If you drive an automatic transmission the vehicle should shift into gear as soon as you move the lever from park to drive. If the car's engine revs up prior to shifting into gear or while it shifts between gears as you're driving you will want to get in for diagnostics and service. Chances are you're running low on fluid.
A manual transmission suffering from holding issues may pop into neutral or an automatic transmission with similar issues may shift erratically. This issue results in the inability to properly control your vehicle, which could be disastrous.
Transmission fluid is often dyed a reddish color to help differentiate it from other automotive fluids. If you find a puddle of this red liquid in your driveway get to the shop ASAP. Driving with low transmission fluid will ultimately ruin the entire mechanism.
If you believe you need transmission repair in Columbia head to Team 1 Automotive. Our full service auto repair shop can handle any issue a vehicle may suffer from, including automatic and manual transmission problems. To learn more or to request a quote for expert auto repair in Columbia give us a call at (803) 828-0217 today.

Q: What is the Residue of this function? What is
$$\operatorname*{Res}_{z=i \pi}{\frac{e^{(1-a)z}}{\left (1+e^{z} \right )^n}}$$
where $0<a<1$ and $n$ is an integer??

A: Let $z=\zeta + i \pi$, where $\zeta=z-i \pi$ is taken to be a small quantity.  The residue at $z=i \pi$ will be equal to the coefficient of $\zeta^{-1}$ in the Laurent expansion of the above function about $\zeta=0$.
So this function may be written as
$$f(z) = e^{i \pi (1-a)} \frac{e^{(1-a) \zeta}}{\left (1-e^{\zeta}\right )^n} $$
Noting that
$$1-e^{\zeta} = -\left ( \zeta + \frac1{2!}\zeta^2 + \frac1{3!} \zeta^3+\cdots \right )$$
So that the Laurent expansion about $\zeta=0$ is
$$e^{i \pi (1-a)} (-1)^n \zeta^{-n} \left (1+ (1-a) \zeta + \frac1{2!} (1-a)^2 \zeta^2 + \cdots \right ) \times \\ \left [1 - \binom{n}{n-1}\left ( \frac1{2!} \zeta + \frac1{3!} \zeta^2 + \cdots \right ) +  \binom{n+1}{n-1}\left ( \frac1{2!} \zeta + \frac1{3!} \zeta^2 + \cdots \right )^2 + \cdots \right ] $$
It is extremely difficult to find the coefficient of $\zeta^{-1}$ for arbitrary $n$.  Your best bet is to find that coefficient for particular values of $n$ as they come.  I will illustrate for $n=3$.  In that case, the Laurent expansion is
$$e^{i \pi (1-a)} (-1)^3 \zeta^{-3} \left (1+ (1-a) \zeta + \frac1{2!} (1-a)^2 \zeta^2 + \cdots \right ) \times \\ \left [1 - \binom{3}{2}\left ( \frac1{2!} \zeta + \frac1{3!} \zeta^2 + \cdots \right ) +  \binom{4}{2}\left ( \frac1{2!} \zeta + \frac1{3!} \zeta^2 + \cdots \right )^2 + \cdots \right ] $$
Note that, for the expansions, we only need to look at the coefficients of $\zeta^2$ because we have a $\zeta^3$ in the denominator.  So, the terms are, to terms in $\zeta^2$ and below,
$$e^{i \pi (1-a)} (-1)^3 \zeta^{-3} \left (1+ (1-a) \zeta + \frac1{2!} (1-a)^2 \zeta^2 + \cdots \right )  \left [1 - \frac32 \zeta + \zeta^2 + \cdots \right ] \\ = e^{-i \pi a} \zeta^{-3} \left [\cdots + \left (1-\frac32 (1-a) + \frac12 (1-a)^2 + \right ) \zeta^2 + \cdots\right ] $$
Thus, the residue of the original function at $z=i \pi$ is, for $n=3$,
$$\left [1-\frac32 (1-a) + \frac12 (1-a)^2 \right ] e^{-i \pi a} = \frac12 a(1+a) e^{-i \pi a}$$

You step into the warm room with a towel tightened around your chest, feeling the steam pulling into your nostrils and surrounding every inch of your body. You lay your head back, feeling the warmth seep through your pores and the sweat breaking on your forehead. You are completely relaxed. You are attempting sauna weight loss.
It is easy to get confused when you start to learn about sauna weight loss. There are a lot of misconceptions floating around out there about this, so let's get one thing clear right from the start: sitting in the sauna is not a weight loss plan. Rather, it is a tool to lose weight.
Instead of thinking of the warm, dark room of the sauna as your sole means of losing weight you should consider it a great way to enhance the results you are gaining through other means. This is important because if you try to sweat off the pounds through sauna weight loss alone you are more likely to find yourself chronically dehydrated than skinny.
When you lose weight from sitting in the sauna you are sweating out water and some impurities from the body. You are not burning actual fat stored inside your body. The weight loss is essentially water from the sweat, which means it will come back on extremely fast if you are not doing other things to achieve weight loss.
If you are eating a lot of unhealthy foods and living a relatively sedentary life with very little active movement, then you cannot expect to sit in the sauna everyday and lose weight permanently.
In fact, sitting in the sauna for too long or too often can be extremely unhealthy.
When you use the sauna correctly you can shed a few extra pounds on a consistent basis. The key is to set up a regular workout program and change some of your eating habits so that you are losing weight in a healthy manner. Sauna weight loss is then added into the overall program to enhance your results.
You should start sitting in the sauna for 15 or 20 minutes a few times a week and slowly increase the number of days that you enjoy this relaxing pleasure. You may want to do this after working out as a way to refresh your system or you may do it on days that you take a break from workouts in order to restore your body on those rest days.
With time you can probably sit in the sauna for a half hour, possibly a bit longer. You still will not need to do this every single day and sitting in there for long periods of time is not recommended.
The goal is to stay long enough to work up a good sweat and cleanse the system. You can use the time to relax, close your eyes, and ease the soreness in your muscles from your workouts.
When you do this consistently along with other efforts to lose weight, you will find that sauna weight loss offers a reduction of couple pounds most weeks. This will give you greater mental satisfaction which makes it more likely that you will continue with your weight loss program long term.

The Twelve Tribes, 1962
By Marc Chagall
Twelve Tribes
Lithograph • Unsigned • 151cm x 92.0cm
SKU: MC-twelvetribes-u
Russian , 1887 - 1985
View more from Chagall
Chagall was born in Vitebsk, Russia in 1887. After studying in St Petersburg he went to Paris where he befriended the avant-garde circle of artists. In 1917 he returned to his native Vitebsk where he was made Director and Commissar of Fine Art. However, his fantasy-based work irked the conservative authorities so he left for Moscow to design for the new Jewish Theatre.
Returning to Paris in 1923 he met the art-dealer Vollard for whom he illustrated Gogol's Dead Souls and the Fables of La Fontaine. Between 1941-47 he moved between occupied France and the USA, eventually settling near Nice. Chagall was a prolific artist, his work reminiscent of Jewish life, bible stories and of the folklore from his early years in Russia. He died in 1985.

The Twelve Tribes lithographs after Chagall based on preliminary sketches for the Jerusalem stained-glass windows. In 1959 Chagall was commissioned to design twelve stained glass windows for the new synagogue of the Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Centre, situated in the Judean hills west of Jerusalem. The number twelve is considered spiritual and sacred. These magnificent windows symbolise the twelve sons of Jacob from whom sprang the twelve tribes of Israel.
Keen that his designs be more widely disseminated, Chagall was closely involved with the production of the set of lithographs based upon his studies, created by the world famous Mourlot Frères of Paris: the publisher, James Parton, recalled how the artist stood beside the lithographer to watch the single sheets pass through the hand-fed stone press, one colour at a time...to catch every nuance of shading. [He] threw out the whole first set of gravure plates: the yellow, he felt, was off a shade.

Message From First Bank and Trust
Like many successful businesses, First Bank & Trust began with a small-town vision. In 1880, Brookings, South Dakota entrepreneur Horace Fishback saw a need to serve a growing community with banking services. Horace and his uncle, Bert Olds, began a check-cashing station at the back counter of their general store. What began as a small venture has grown into one of South Dakota's largest privately-held companies—Fishback Financial Corporation (FFC)—the holding company for First Bank & Trust. On November 2, 1925, Security National Bank became the Fishback family's first independent community bank. Today, we serve 17 thriving communities in South Dakota and Minnesota with 22 bank locations. Our founding philosophy—to meet each local community's needs with integrity and innovation in banking—is why we support independent leadership and employee ownership. We are decision-makers, because we are empowered to be. We are risk takers, because our company was built around an entrepreneurial spirit. We are experts, because we get the training and education we need to grow. Through four generations of Fishbacks, we are proud to be family- and employee-owned and dedicated to giving back in our communities. To grow a diversified independent financial corporation that excels in delivering community banking services and providing niche products nationwide.

The Underrepresentation of Women in Prestigious Ethics Journals.Meena Krishnamurthy, Shen‐yi Liao, Monique Deveaux & Maggie Dalecki - 2017 - Hypatia 32 (4):928-939.details
It has been widely reported that women are underrepresented in academic philosophy as faculty and students. This article investigates whether this representation may also occur in the domain of journal article publishing. Our study looked at whether women authors were underrepresented as authors in elite ethics journals — Ethics, Philosophy & Public Affairs, the Journal of Political Philosophy, and the Journal of Moral Philosophy — between 2004-2014, relative to the proportion of women employed in academic ethics (broadly construed). We found (...) that women are indeed underrepresented overall in prestigious ethics journal publishing. Though this is not our focus, we discuss possible causes for this finding, such as top ethics journals' tendency not to publish much feminist philosophy; the impact of women's lesser professional status or rank within philosophy on their prospects for, and success in, journal publishing; and the review process itself, which may disadvantage or discourage women authors — perhaps especially when their gender, rank, and affiliation are known to the editor or reviewer, or if their work is explicitly feminist. We discuss possible avenues for future research on the "woman problem" in philosophy, noting how our study relates to existing research on this issue. (shrink)

Despite the frequency of stillbirths, the subsequent implications are overlooked and underappreciated. We present findings from comprehensive, systematic literature reviews, and new analyses of published and unpublished data, to establish the effect of stillbirth on parents, families, health-care providers, and societies worldwide. Data for direct costs of this event are sparse but suggest that a stillbirth needs more resources than a livebirth, both in the perinatal period and in additional surveillance during subsequent pregnancies. Indirect and intangible costs of stillbirth are (...) extensive and are usually met by families alone. This issue is particularly onerous for those with few resources. Negative effects, particularly on parental mental health, might be moderated by empathic attitudes of care providers and tailored interventions. The value of the baby, as well as the associated costs for parents, families, care providers, communities, and society, should be considered to prevent stillbirths and reduce associated morbidity.

Character, Corruption, and 'Cultures of Speed' in Higher Education.Ian Kidd - forthcoming - In Philosophical Perspectives on the Contemporary University: In Shadows and Light. Springer.details
This chapter offers a character-based criticism of 'the culture of speed' condemned by the Canadian literary scholars, Maggie Berg and Barbara Seeber in their influential polemic, The Slow Professor. Central to their criticisms of speed and praise of slowness are, I argue, substantive concerns about their effects on moral and intellectual character. I argue that a full reckoning of the wrongs of academic cultures of speed must include appreciation of the ways they promote a host of accelerative vices and (...) failings while also impeding exercise of a range of the virtues vital to enactment of our core academic commitments to teaching, scholarship, and collegiality.

Q: How to parse messages received through pipe I created my pipe server which it create a instance of
pipe by using the function ConnectNamedPipe.
after that I read from the pipe and save the data into buffer.
I have not created my client yet but I have to do some operations.
My client has to write to the pipe 2 things:
1 -  The operation that the server will does - Subtract, Multiply, Addition, Division(I'm trying to implement kind of calculator)
2 - 2 numbers that the server will calculate
My server has to read from the pipe those operations and the 2 numbers
and print the result on the screen.
So, my question is that, how can I parse those 2 operations that the client wrote?
My server working fine but i have problem with parsing.
#include <iostream>
#include <Windows.h>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    HANDLE createPipe;
    BOOL Connect;
    BOOL Read;
    int buffer[100];
    DWORD numBytesRead;

    //Create Pipe
    createPipe = CreateNamedPipe(
        L"\\\\.\\pipe\\StackOverflow",
        PIPE_ACCESS_DUPLEX,
        PIPE_TYPE_MESSAGE,
        PIPE_UNLIMITED_INSTANCES,
        1024,
        1024,
        NMPWAIT_USE_DEFAULT_WAIT,
        NULL);

    //Check for failure
    if(createPipe == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE){
        cout<<"Failed to create a pipe! "<<endl;
    }

    //Create instance of the pipe
    Connect = ConnectNamedPipe(
        createPipe,
        NULL);

    //Check for failure
    if(!(Connect)){
        cout<<"Failed to connect to the pipe"<<endl;
        CloseHandle(createPipe);
    }

    //Read bytes from the buffer
    Read = ReadFile(
            createPipe,
            buffer,
            99 * sizeof(buffer),
            &numBytesRead,
            NULL);

    //check for failure
    if(!(Read)){
        cout<<"Failed to read from the pipe"<<endl;
        CloseHandle(createPipe);
    }

    return 0;
}

thx

A: You should research serialization - how you encode and decode the pipe data should be encapsulated. You have a Calculation object that has two Operand elements (numbers) and an Operation (enumeration maybe?) - then the problem becomes how do you serialize (send) and deserialize (receiver) that object, independent of the pipe I/O.
Check out Boost.Serialization for concepts - boost.org/doc/libs/1_49_0/libs/serialization/doc/index.html

Q: LEADER_NOT_AVAILABLE - docker container setting up docker containers (kafka, zookeeper) and trying to (publish and) consume from another, receive the following error:
KafkaError{code=LEADER_NOT_AVAILABLE,val=5,str="Broker: Leader not available"}
There is no additional error indication when publishing or consuming. When testing connectivity with telnet 172.18.0.3 9092 I receive the expected result.

A: Always try to use public ip in the KAFKA_ADVERTISED_HOST_NAME, and you can use KAFKA_HOST_NAME to specify the hostname of your instance.
Also if you are using the recent kafka version, use listeners and advertised.listeners instead of using host.name and advertised.host.name.
