Hey, I'm Xanthe 🐁 PhD student in horror, filmmaker, and your new unhinged bestie. I say the quiet parts out loud and drag the skeletons out of academia’s closets. Horror belongs on the screen, not in our students’ wellbeing.

Years ago my mother used to say to me, "In this world, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. -Elwood P. Dowd

feral academic pod is back 11 july with logan-ashley kisner! he’s a horror aficionado, researcher, and transgender author whose young adult novels explore trans kids surviving horrors, whether supernatural or all too real. register here: bham-ac-uk.zoom.us/meeting/register/BHO5LupsQJSW3j…
he is the author of old wounds which was a lammy nominee, the transition which was a lammy and ignyte award nominee, and the forthcoming trans panic and docile creatures. his fiction and nonfiction have also appeared in or been featured by dread central, paste magazine, crimereads, and the guardian.
some of you may remember logan from my kindergeist podcast episode, where we discussed the fascinating crossover between evil dead and transgender horror. if you have not heard that conversation yet, it is a great companion listen before this episode:
in our new convo, we’ll revisit those ideas but focus on logan’s upcoming novel, which puts a twist on sleepaway camp. we’ll also talk about the upcoming reboot, trans horror, and more!

Backrooms and Obsession have taken over EVERYTHING and I'm here for it. @JmanAnimates requested I do a vlog on them soooo
Firstly: which one hit YOU harder? Not as a film critic, but as in "damn, that one got me on a deep level."
Drop why in the comments. Genuinely curious about your psyche... xo Xanthe 🐁
