Sanctum Sanctorum by Sloka Krishnan

The bodies keep piling up, and the old tricks of turning to BDSM, mysticism, and/or parenthood don’t seem to be an adequate fix anymore. Not in the dungeon, where the Master’s power escapes him; not in the shrine, where the Deity no longer resides; and not in the nursery, where the baby remains resolutely silent. Plus there’s this fog everywhere. Is it even possible for something different to be on the other side? Sanctum Sanctorum is a meditation on power, stasis, interconnectedness, and the effect of looking away in a context of inescapable violence.
Here’s some information about our last Ethel Woolson Lab:
