About

Loira (she/they) is a writer with a deep love of atmosphere whose work is influenced by dark romanticism and the gothic, just as much as it is nostalgia and a desire to create moments readers can float in. These days, she can usually be found writing TTRPG reviews, articles about horror movies, video games, and post-punk darkwave band Urban Heat, while acting as a bed for her cat, Eeyore. She was a contributor to gothHoblin’s Grimoire Issue 1 – Gothic which published October 2023.

As a TTRPG performer, they have played Wisteria in A Very Humble Glowtide, Trish in Final Throws: Grave Mistakes, and Juniper in Fey Wanderer. She has played in charity games with Exquisite Corpse Presents (Nancy –Monster Hearts), D8 Dungeon (Amelia – Ruin & Restoration), and Tavernaut’s RPG-A-Thons (Aine – Kids on Brooms, Thistle – Honey Heist).

Loira can occasionally be found streaming on Twitch, where they play short, narrative driven games with elements of horror.
