Demons, Detectives and Doppelgängers: Chase McPherson on Rewriting The Vampire Rulebook
Manage episode 478328058 series 3640039
Chase McPherson is a queer speculative fiction writer whose stories blend the gothic with the emotional, exploring themes of grief, identity, and the resilience of love. His Bloodbound series reimagines vampire lore - a place where rules are meant to be broken and relationships rarely follow the expected path.
Influenced by a childhood filled with cult classics and dark comedy, Chase’s writing is rich with emotional texture, sharp humor, and a deep curiosity about what it means to survive, and thrive, through transformation. His work is a testament to the power of storytelling as both rebellion and refuge.
