Hayle Coven Novels

Hayle Coven Novels

I’m an international, multiple award-winning author with a passion for the voices in my head. As a singer, songwriter, independent filmmaker and improv teacher and performer, my life has always been about creating and sharing what I create with others. Now that my dream to write for a living is a reality, with over a hundred titles in happy publication and no end in sight, I live in beautiful Prince Edward Island, Canada, with my giant cats, pug overlord and overlady and my Gypsy Vanner gelding, Fynn. ***WORLD'S BEST STORY2014*** Her mom's a witch. Her dad's a demon. And she just wants to be ordinary. I batted at the curl of smoke drifting off the tip of my candle and tried not to sneeze. My heavy velvet cloak fell in oppressive, suffocating folds in the closed space of the ceremony chamber, the cowl trapping the annoying bits of puff I missed. I hated the way my eyes burned and teared, an almost constant distraction. Not that I didn't welcome the distraction, to be honest. Anything to take my mind from what went on around me. Being part of a demon raising is way less exciting than it sounds. Sydlynn Hayle's teen life couldn't be more complicated. Trying to please her coven is all a fantasy while the adventure of starting over in a new town and fending off a bully cheerleader who hates her are just the beginning of her troubles. What to do when delicious football hero Brad Peters--boyfriend of her cheer nemesis--shows interest? If only the darkly yummy witch, Quaid Moromond, didn't make it so difficult for her to focus on fitting in with the normal kids despite her paranormal, witchcraft laced home life. Add to that her crazy grandmother's constant escapes driving her family to the brink and Syd's between a rock and a coven site. Forced to take on power she doesn't want to protect a coven who blames her for everything, only she can save her family's magic. If her family's distrust doesn't destroy her first.

What are the characteristics of queer horror novels?
They also often subvert traditional horror norms. Instead of the typical straight, cisgendered heroes, queer horror novels may have queer protagonists who face horror in their own unique ways. This can lead to different power dynamics and plot developments compared to mainstream horror. For instance, a queer couple might use their unique bond and understanding of each other to fight against a horror entity in a way that challenges the traditional 'macho' hero archetype.

Share some 'queer eye horror stories'.
One 'queer eye horror story' could be a situation where the makeover team completely misjudged the person's style. For example, they gave a very introverted and nature - loving person a super flashy and gaudy look that made the person feel extremely uncomfortable and out of place in their own skin. It was like they became a character they didn't recognize.

What are the common themes in queer horror short stories?
Well, isolation is a big theme. Queer characters in these stories are frequently isolated, either physically or emotionally. This isolation can be due to their queerness being rejected by society or their own fear of discovery. It makes them vulnerable, which is a key element in horror. Also, the theme of the body as a site of horror is common. The queer body, which is often seen as different from the heterosexual norm, can be depicted as something monstrous or as a source of fear in these stories.

What are the most common 'queer eye horror stories'?
One of the most common 'queer eye horror stories' might be related to hair. The team could give a person a very trendy haircut that actually doesn't suit their face shape at all. Maybe they thought it would look great on the person based on current fashion trends, but in reality, it made the person look much older or younger than they are, or just plain unflattering. It's a horror story because hair is such an important part of a person's appearance and it can really affect their self - confidence.

How do queer horror graphic novels contribute to the graphic novel genre?
Queer horror graphic novels add a layer of complexity to the genre. They often blend horror with themes of acceptance, discrimination, and self - love. For instance, a queer character in a horror story might have to not only fight the external horror like a monster but also the internal horror of not being accepted for who they are. This unique combination of themes challenges the readers to think more deeply about both horror and queer issues. It also allows for more creative and unique visual interpretations, as the artists can play with the symbolism of queer identity within the horror context.
