About K. Psych
K.Psych (they/them) crafts narratives that leave you bleeding and hungry for more while giving hearts to monsters one page at a time. As a queer Black audhd writer and editor, glorifying the perverse and eroticizing the grotesque is their speciality. When K.Psych isn’t embracing their inner demons and twisting biblical stories into macabre tales, they can be found being terrorized by their chaotic doppelganger cat, studying music theory, cosplaying as the local cannibal, and rewatching Constantine or Saw for the millionth time.
You can follow them on @carnivoreincosplay on insta/threads and @bloodydevotion on twitter/X/bluesky.
