𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐇𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 🪦🥀🕯️

characters that haunt you, romance to die for

Alexia Onyx is a dark romance and horror author who loves exploring the dark side of humanity. In her books, you can expect to find plus-size/fat representation, queer relationships, and mental health themes. Alexia lives in sunny San Diego but mentally, she’s somewhere cold and rainy. She’s a little obsessed with Halloween, her adorably plump cat, and bubbly water, which she truly does need to survive. When she’s not writing, you can find Alexia surrounded by her fall-scented candles while hiding from the world with her latest read, scream-singing along to her favorite songs, or gleefully curating playlists and mood boards for her next book.
