Eco-horror explores the idea of nature becoming the source of terror; in an article for MUBI, Danielle Burgos describes eco-horror as “nature becomes uncanny and maliciously turned against man.” In a Teen Vogue article “Ecosexuals are Queering Environmentalism,” musician Peaches describes Mother Earth as a lover. “Sex-ecologist” Annie Sprinkle amusingly reflects on how “all this wood here is very sensual.” Ecosexuality might include, “masturbating with water pressure, using eco-friendly lubricant, or literally having sex with a tree.”

A crew of pirates find themselves on an island covered in black vegetation, elephantine insects, and where the grass whispers.

Each tooth comes with its own share of monstrosities. Can the nine teeth be collected?
Just Released!
In treacherous pirate-infested waters, a horrifying tale unfolds, intertwining the brutal reality of the transatlantic slave trade with the relentless onslaught of the undead. Dayo and Kofi, two souls promised to each other, are ripped from their homeland and thrust into the abyss of the zombie apocalypse. They must fight not only for their survival but also for the redemption and freedom of their people. After a revolt on a slave ship sends Kofi to a watery grave, Dayo must face this new world alone.
As the sea churns with the echoes of her ancestors' pain, Dayo must confront her own demons and forge an unlikely alliance with the very soul who helped enslave her people to stop a flesh-crazed crew of zombie pirates. From the blood-soaked decks of slave ships to the haunted shores of cursed islands, Dayo must navigate through betrayal, treachery, and overcome the monsters created by Dead Soil.
Swampy Horror!
It is a favorite pastime in Southern Louisiana taverns to speak of the Dread Pirate LaBelle and his cursed treasure. In hushed tones and careful whispers, drunken storytellers regale the interested with descriptions of a sinking ship and LaBelle’s cursed treasures lost among the marshes.
For Trevor, these stories are more than just rumors. Trevor thinks that he’s tracked down the map to LaBelle’s final resting place, and a guide who is brazen enough to take them there. With the first puzzle piece to a centuries-long riddle is in his grasp, Trevor and his friends expect the adventure of a lifetime.
But there’s a reason that LaBelle’s treasure has never been found. And old, dead pirates don’t like to tell their tales.
