Welcome to Hi Strangeness.
A sad, sexy, spooky anthology of speculative fiction exploring the beautiful horrors of Black queer life.
Hi Strangeness is a home for original horror, science fiction, fantasy, and weird fiction centered on Black queer characters—not as sidekicks or symbols, but as the people these stories happen to.
Here you’ll find haunted apartments, impossible technologies, cosmic gods, cursed lovers, forgotten histories, strange futures, and monsters that often pale beside the worlds that create them. These stories ask what horror, wonder, and survival look like when you’re already living at the edge of someone else’s imagination.
New stories are published every week, accompanied by narrated audio versions. Some are terrifying. Some are funny. Some are heartbreaking. Most are all three.
Hi Strangeness is written by Miami artist and storyteller Kendrick Daye as part of an ongoing effort to build original Black queer speculative fiction—one story at a time.
Free subscribers receive a new story every week.
Paid subscribers get everything above, plus essays, behind-the-scenes writing notes, story autopsies, works in progress, and an inside look at the growing world of 8th Haus.
If you enjoy horror, science fiction, and speculative fiction that imagines new worlds while refusing to look away from this one, welcome.
The signal remains open.
Any artwork used, unless otherwise stated, is created by Kendrick Daye to accompany these stories.
