Something To Live For
December 2026
100 years ago, Ardeola became a vampire. Now, she’s human again, and she hates it.
Captured by a mysterious facility, Ardeola finds herself imprisoned and ‘cured’. Desperate to return to her powerful vampire maker and partner, she plots her escape but finds herself confused by holes in her memories. Whole events and even people have been forgotten.
As she picks through her thoughts, she finds herself caught between who she can trust, which parts of herself are real, and what her future looks like.
A psychological thriller with a moody gothic tone, a complicated and difficult protagonist and 100 years of messy relationships, Something to Live For is a queer horror about humanity, damage and how much you can endure before being a monster is the best option.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Katie Cunningham is a Scottish writer of horror comics and prose, with one complete graphic novel, Rotten under the Snow, and stories in anthologies such as the Eisner winning Spectrum, Beyond, Brawler, and Quantum.
As a queer fan of horror, Katie has been drawn to work which explores ‘monstrous’ identities both as a reader and a writer. This includes her ongoing anthology story Bog Trotter, which ran in Aces Weekly, and her upcoming miniseries Helen Deserves This from Blue Fox, both of which also draw on Scottish folklore. Katie lives in Glasgow, Scotland, and spends her free time jumping in the coldest water she can find.
