Hauntology

In this queer horror anthology, 12-year-old Venus runs away from home, but their journey is cut short when their older sister, Jazmin, spots them wheeling a suitcase down the sidewalk. Jazmin then takes Venus on a journey around Ohio, where Jazmin tells supernatural tales whose characters have more in common with Venus than they first realize.

Hauntology features four ghostly vignettes:

The first is the story of Julian, a young trans woman who casts a spell to become her ideal self. However, a dark spirit involved in the ritual soon becomes obsessed with Julian and tries to invade her life.

The second story surrounds a troubled married couple whose trip to a remote lake house reveals threatening cracks in their foundation. One member of the couple stumbles upon a mysterious grave and discovers its owner has been waiting over a century for her.

The third tale revolves around an up-and-coming art gallery where the paintings of a deceased artist are being forged. However, the artist’s vengeful spirit soon manifests in town, with bloody consequences.

The fourth story tells of a journalist who secures an interview with the eccentric owner of a Victorian mansion. After night falls, the journalist quickly learns why the house is so infamous for its hauntings.
