[2] The album's lyrical content is also influenced by menstruation, 1970s horror and exploitation films and Virginia Woolf.

[3] During the writing process for Blood Bitch, Hval was influenced by vampiric imagery and 1970s horror and exploitation films: “I was amazed about how much taboo they could contain without moral compass, how much incest there could be.”[4] In a statement released upon the album's announcement, she elaborated: "Blood Bitch is a fictitious story, fed by characters and images from horror and exploitation films of the '70s.

It’s an album of vampires, lunar cycles, sticky choruses, and the smell of warm leaves and winter.

"[3] Hval has also described novelist Chris Kraus as "someone I’ve just read and reread constantly and who’s been a really huge [...] inspiration for me.
