Slay Away is a digital independent magazine hosting film reviews, columns, essays, and podcasts while examining horror through the queer and female lens. We're your source for lore, gore, and every kill in between.
We're always looking for talented queer and female-identifying writers to contribute features to Slay Away and would love to read pitches from talented critics, writers, and horror community enthusiasts.
