If I survive this winter, spring will bring the first shoots of aconite. This bastard child of hollyhocks and amaranthine will create a chaotic display of purples and blues to decorate my yard. My beautiful wolfsbane, a curse on the wolf pack of Mount Pelion Way.

We have been entwined together in this tangled knot of grief, and now Paris wants to cut himself free. I can see that now.
Tangled Knot, by BB Clifford, is available now. I think of grief as an incendiary device, blowing apart all you have known and fusing it into something new.
It could be hideous and deformed, like limbs splitting through skin, but it is new. A fresh perspective. Tangled Knot, by BB Clifford. Available now. Always ask why they choose to hunt that particular witch...
"Men are rarely considered to be witches because they are not expected to caretake, to fawn, to smile, all of which I have failed to do. I come from a long line of witches who failed to appease the suburban beast and who were isolated and scapegoated, tarred and feathered, condemned as temptresses and accused of being histrionic. If the people of Mount Pelion Way could weigh me against a stack of Bibles and drown, hang, or burn me at the stake, they would." Tangled Knot is the debut novel by queer author BB Clifford. It's easier to hate when you turn someone into a mythical beast. Every community needs a gargoyle to scare them from the truth.
"They relegated my daughter to the dark corners of a myth. They might even claim that she never existed in the first place. To allow a witch such human emotions as grief and despair might weaken their resolve to expunge me from their town." Debut novel by queer author BB Clifford, Tangled Knot, is available now. #psychologicalhorror #queerauthor #booktok A witch hunt but their pitchforks are cell phones and the gallows are swing sets:
"I have nightmares of them illuminated by a full moon, with their modern-day pitchforks of cell phones to record evidence of their preconceptions that are planted, propagated, and then confirmed by therapists and religious leaders alike. They winch me up to hang from one of their swing sets, the noose tightening around my throat as my legs thrash for life. How they will laugh and jeer and point, celebrating the exorcism of the Witch of Mount Pelion Way. How the neighbors will rejoice, and the street will be decorated with floral garlands of victory and brocades of joy woven into the finest gold and silver." Tangled Knot BB Clifford |
