Suspira, Issue 3 – The Vampire Issue

We fear what we don’t know, this much is true. So we create otherworldly creatures to project onto and make sense of our own dread. Sometimes monsters are very real indeed.

Moving on from the monstrous to the feminine, we bring sensual nightmares to life, exploring the fear of feral female sexuality. Unraveling the intersection of horror and sex, the second issue of Suspira invites you into a psychosexual forest of the bizarre to discover the pleasures of your own dreads and desires.

Enter if you dare…

Suspira is a feminist horror magazine that dissects sinister subjects through a feminine lens. Each themed issue explores an archetype of fear and fascination.

In this issue:

An amalgam of sex and death, the vampire archetype embodies an unhinged darkness that not only embraces, but revels in the violent, the sensual and the other. Turning inward, we see a psychological and emotional complexity that doesn’t veer far off from our own.

Reflecting on humanity and mortality, the third issue of Suspira is an invitation to face all aspects of ourselves that we so willingly embrace in our monstrous alter ego.
