With each issue set to explore “an archetype of fear and fascination,” Suspira Magazine dissects sinister subjects through a feminine lens, taking fresh, necessary and surprising approaches to the horror genre. While undoubtedly a timely first endeavour — 2018 glibly being the perfect time for a feminist horror magazine to thrive — the “Monster Issue” of Suspira takes that grim baton and runs with it to create a totally original publication.
A magazine that doesn’t trade on tired tropes or rely entirely on contemporary references, as beguiling as it is repellent, Suspira is a powerfully and jarringly-designed journey into the world of the grotesque.
