Hi, I'm looking for critique partners or beta readers interested in adult speculative horror. It contains themes of politics, cosmic horror and crime mystery. TW for body horror, gore, violence and adult language. 

Right now, I'm only willing to critique short stories or flash fiction. My short story is 3.4k words, and I'm planning to send it to publications before the end of this month.
 
Blurb:  Under mounting public pressure to catch a serial killer, India’s youngest Prime Minister finds herself confronting a mystery that threatens to become deeply personal.

I’d particularly love feedback on pacing, characterisation, the effectiveness of the reveals, and whether the ending lands.

I’m very open to honest feedback as long as it's delivered gently, and I'd especially appreciate thoughts on anything that felt unclear, underdeveloped, or particularly ineffective. If you're interested, please email me at sincha...@gmail.com
