Nym and Nylene welcome a visitor!
Markie, aka author Maz Maddox, and bestie to the Cottage, travelled across the land to go to Pride with Nym, so the girls made her - erm....asked her - to join this week's nightmare! Nym kicks things off with a look into queer folklore and Nylene takes us back into the darkness with the mysterious Dudleytown.
If you're in the mood for some sublime supplemental reading, be sure to check out Maz Maddox and pick up your next obsession.
