Welcome to the Liminal

I’m Kayla Button, and I write from the spaces between: grief and devotion, beauty and decay, memory and forgetting. My work lives at the intersection of horror, poetry, and emotional excavation. It's where the ghosts don’t just whisper, they write back.

Here on Medium, you’ll find:

Introspective essays on horror, loss, and the psychology of fear

Darkly poetic reflections on identity, love, trauma, and transformation

Personal hauntings dressed in lyrical language and bloody metaphors

Occasional craft notes or process peeks for fellow creators of the macabre

I write for those who feel too much and dream in sepia. I write for those who carry old hurts like heirlooms. If you’ve ever fallen in love with a ghost, felt nostalgia like a bruise, or wanted to scream into a mirror just to see if it echoes, you’ll feel at home here.

For more grief-soaked prose, dark love letters, and behind-the-scenes musings, subscribe to my newsletter. I send out new entries like offerings. Soft, sharp, and buried in shadow. You can find my other socials below: https://linktr.ee/FinalGirlEnergy
