Episode 159: S. Elizabeth Ransdell

A world we have yet to broach in comics comes to the forefront in our newest episode and that's the realm of erotic fantasy!

S. Elizabeth Ransdell is a writer who isn't afraid to lean into the shadows, finding her niche in the visceral world of dark horror and provocative erotic fiction. Perhaps best known for her standout contribution to the Pretty Girls Make Graves anthology, she specializes in stories that explore the raw, often blurred lines between desire, terror, and "feminine rage." Whether she’s scripting high-tension comics or crafting atmospheric prose, Elizabeth’s work is defined by its grit and a refusal to flinch at the heavier side of human nature. Driven by themes of justice and power, she creates immersive, boundary-pushing narratives that stay with you long after the final page is turned.

Elizabeth discusses leaving Canada at a young age, writing eroticism, finding the deeper themes in horror and how erotic fiction can have real meaning and doesn't need to be disposable.
