We love spooky season here at Super Heroines Etc.! The supernatural, the occult and all things creepy get our imaginations going so here are some of the media we’re consuming/supporting this month:
CINCINNATI CABINET OF CURIOSITIES

SLAY: STORIES OF THE VAMPIRE NOIRE
SLAY: Stories of the Vampire Noire — a revolutionary anthology celebrating vampires of the African Diaspora.

Drawing from a variety of cultural and mythological backgrounds, SLAY dares to imagine a world of horror and wonder where Black protagonists take center stage — as vampires, as hunters, as heroes.

“IS IT TRANSPHOBIC?” PODCAST
The “Is It Transphobic?” podcast is hosted by Ashley Lauren Rogers with other trans and non-binary folks discussing movies and TV show episodes that other critics and media outlets have deemed transphobic. Most recently, the IIT crew explored Alien, Hazbin Hotel and The Lost Boys.
