About the Book
Welcome back my favorite naughty list top offenders. This holiday season Last Girls Club celebrates Yule with our very own witch Gina McMillen. Our new cemetery profiler Anna Wood takes us to some magical catacombs in Colma, CA. Our moon priestess Sopurkh explores death and rebirth in the darkness of winter. Take the Winter Icon quiz to find out how cold your soul really is.
Our fact and fiction explores the horror of the unhoused. A very real terror with few escapes. As the nights grow darker and colder, as we hunker down into our blankets, LGC does not forget those left out in the cold. We see you. We fear for you. We hope for a better future for all not some. We will keep speaking out and seeking a better tomorrow. See you next year. And as always, may the shadows embrace you and the monsters fear you more.
Last Girls Club is my legacy. It is my pandemic fever dream made real. Society has always revealed its fears through horror. Every age has its themes and speaks on a deeper level to what people are really thinking about in the wee hours of the morning. Last Girls Club is me holding up a torch and inviting the monsters to step forward into the light. If we nail their feet to the floor, speak their names, and tell their stories in the firelight we might learn how to stop them or at least divert them. My themes are a journalistic approach of striking into stone the collective unconscious and preserving where we were during these trying times.
The Last Girls Club is from the feminine gaze and voice, because I want to broaden the spectrum of fiction and poetry and have both the readers and authors empathize with genre/gender bending powerful women facing terrors using their abilities to overcome them or succumb to them. Here we are willing to try the new, the unthinkable, flipping the classics, and taking delight in the dark feminine energy that is rising in the world. Here we are fucked up, funny, and a little bit bloody. Just like you…

About the Creator
Martinne Corbeau

Bonjour Mes Chats, I am the ghost host of The Last Girls Club, Martinne Corbeau. I am a 600 year old succubus who loves to gossip. I've seen much and am ashamed of little. I've spent most of my incarnations in France, but have traveled widely through the liminal spaces and consider myself a citizen of the universe in multiple dimensions. I've brokered many deals with and for the undead; consider evil to be a matter of perspective; and binary definitions of good/evil heaven/hell the refuge of tiny minds. And I love horror. Join me in my international search for new voices in horror. Celebrate the weird with me, my darling.
