Via The Comics Beat, we learn that Melanie Gilman has a new sapphic horror comic, The Goblin Queen. “When a young woman cornered and out of options makes a pact with the Goblin Queen for peace and safety, she initially thinks herself prepared to pay any price. But when confronted with the true cost of her contract, she breaks her word and flees to start a new life far from the strange old creature. What she doesn’t realize is that all roads lead to the Goblin Kingdom—and its Queen will always find you. One way or another.”
