Read how “@DeadbyDaylight’s strong ties with horror & its gothic roots go deeper than blood, fear, & slashers” in @FionnTheBrave’s great interview with @MCote_BHVR, @DeviusQC, @lwestengard, composer @MichelFApril, & sound designer @endlessworld: si.com/videogames/fea… #BestOPS


Absolutely thrilled to include your interview in the issue! We all need voices like yours and @demonicground to be part of our consciousness right now. Thank you 🖤

A tiny slice of very personal relief: "Strategies for Liberation," my interview with @demonicground for the @WSQjournal special issue edited by @Deescribed & @lwestengard, was published this week. I am always grateful for the kind of life that allows me to do this work with them.
