Laura Mauro Returns: Biographies of Valiant Drunken Tigers

Laura Mauro Returns: Biographies of Valiant Drunken Tigers

After years away, Laura Mauro returns with Biographies of Valiant Drunken Tigers, a short story and a novella steeped in Japanese folklore. Shadowsick sends a decapitated head into spectral flight, while Lovesongs of the Nonmigratory Birds pulls the Yuki-Onna into a bleak, heartfelt tale of two people coming apart. A comeback well worth the wait.

Please Rewind: Why 1994 Was Perfect for a Cursed Movie

Hailey Piper’s This Movie Doesn’t End the Way We Want begins with an obscure cinema screening in November 1994. We rewind to VHS culture, pre-Google research and the glorious inconvenience that made the decade perfect for a cursed movie.
