Isadora H. Petrovsky is a speculative fiction author, who aims to draw forth the inherent queerness of the SFF, fairytale, historical, and gothic horror genres. Her current project explores the ecological ramifications of monopolistic capitalism and its inherent colonialism on a pre-apocalyptic planet with a fractured crystal core. Isadora finds a Jim Henson’s the Labyrinth sort of humor in the macabre and the weird, which makes the almost apocalypse, dare she say, fun. She is currently attending the MFA Writing program at UC San Diego. When not writing, she can be found teaching it, reading, playing Dungeons and Dragons, watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and snuggling with her cat Basil. Isadora was awarded the Ron L. Hubbard Writers of the Future Honorable Mention for her short fiction “Red”, published in Gingerbread House Lit Mag. A reprint of her queer gothic fiction “I AM STRUCK DEAD AT THE CLASP OF HER HAND” can be found in KALEIDOSCOPED’s Winter 2023 issue Ghosts & Gossip.
