Gemma Files writes horror, dark fantasy and weird fiction that frequently combines occult systems, film culture, queer relationships and unstable realities. Experimental Film follows a film historian who discovers traces of an early Canadian filmmaker and becomes caught in a supernatural story involving forgotten footage, folklore and a dangerous entity. The Hexslinger books begin with A Book of Tongues, mixing an alternative American West with outlaw magic, apocalyptic religion and a complicated relationship between two male gunslingers. Her short fiction ranges from body horror and haunted media to cosmic and historical horror. Files's prose is dense, energetic and often structurally ambitious, with research and mythology feeding directly into the supernatural plot. Her work fits literary horror, queer weird fiction and occult dark fantasy, particularly for readers of Caitlín R. Kiernan, Laird Barron and horror centred on media, memory and forbidden knowledge.
