Great lines in Southern Gothic #horror

Reason one million I love my husband: When ranting about poor writing/plot in horror, his argument was “they should write like @marysangiovanni.bsky.social instead.” Followed by a five minute argument explicating why her work is amazing 10/10 no notes totally keeping him

Belated happy book birthday to @sadiehartmann.bsky.social for FERAL & HYSTERICAL: MOTHER HORROR'S ULTIMATE READING GUIDE TO DARK &DISTURBING FICTION BY WOMEN. Women everywhere are rejoicing www.amazon.com/Feral-Hyster...

AAAAAAAH the joy in my heart when my kid decides he wants to examine performative and historical concepts of whiteness in the South (think The Mind of the South, Killers of the Dream, etc—why this toxic, oppressive culture exists and how it persists) My liberal Southern Gothic soul rejoices

A banner day in the life of Southern Gothic writer: I finally wrote #7, thus slaying every trope on the list.

bestie Denise has not seen The Room. Buckle up, babies, for Friday night.

On the blog...thoughts on the book Ninety-Eight Sabers by @elizabethbroadbent.bsky.social! The past will keep us locked with the horrors if we let it. kathleenpalm.wordpress.com/2025/07/28/t... 📚🩸

woke up at like three am and realized I had captains wafers on my bedside table. Housed an entire pack while chugging water then passed out and forgot about it til just now

Dad always sends me book news … thrilled to see this one with @briankeene.bsky.social and @somercanon.bsky.social!

I am fascinated by Ninety Eight Sabers by @elizabethbroadbent.bsky.social ! This story is building to something big. I’m rooting for the family…but those three guys…creepy! Love it! 📚🩸

A beautiful story of how the past has teeth and claws and can become a prison. How showing love and sadness aren’t weaknesses. How family can be hurtful, but also healing. Dark and creepy and full of emotion. Ninety Eight Sabers by @elizabethbroadbent.bsky.social 📚🩸

wild that paleontologists at the Smithsonian just have their email addresses publicly available like they aren’t absolute rock stars

i am tired of Christians who believe in a god who damns everyone but them

If you cry when you read the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution and the Gettysburg Address this weekend you are my people the government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from this earth.

Chris: I read the first fifty pages of The Catcher in the Rye and I regret to say it’s amazing Me: I FUCKING TOLD YOU

I should have been born right where I am. Despite the state of the world, we enjoy a recognition of neurodivergence, sexuality, and gender. Our lives are unimaginably rich and luxurious compared to the past. Also my kids aren’t dying. FTR this is a mental health thing 🤣 #horrorwriterschat

This was written by one of my favorite authors AND edited by another! Must-read!

What??? Check out @elizabethbroadbent.bsky.social coming on at number five with BLOOD CYPRESS @rdspress #selectedpapers eating it up! theblogwithoutaface.com/2025/06/29/b...

Excited to see BLOOD CYPRESS by @elizabethbroadbent.bsky.social on this list of the Best Horror Books of 2025 (So Far). theblogwithoutaface.com/2025/06/29/b...

new hot dystopia character just dropped: bisexual anarchist disaster

Haven’t read it yet, because I am a terrible person, but brought it to #StokerCon25 and had @elizabethbroadbent.bsky.social , the best Stoker roomie, sign it!!! 📚🩸

Read the data: here it is. She won. @kaine.senate.gov, @markwarner.bsky.social, history has its eyes on you. thecommoncoalition.com/wp-content/u...

Filling the new shelves. All my Tom Piccirilli in one place, topped by a raccoon skull, plus a movie copy of The Shining and a first of Rebecca. Tag for @briankeene.bsky.social because I thought he’d appreciate seeing it all in one place.

In the middle of binging Andor, and watching LA stand up while I do keeps me trying hard not to break into tears

We horror writers will be at StokerCon this weekend. But we won’t forget this happening. And we stand in solidarity with those who have the courage to stand up.

I said it the day after the election. I’ve been saying it since. Only my kids believed me; even my husband said I was wrong. m.economictimes.com/news/interna... Mic drop.

Another great endorsement for @erikmchatton.bsky.social's forthcoming collection from Undertaker Books, STRAW WORLD AND OTHER ECHOES FROM THE VOID. Look for it in September, and, if you'd care to review an early copy, message us or @tjprice.bsky.social!! #horror #horrorarc #reviewers #bookreview

Bisexual can attest

On this day in 1863, Harriet Tubman's forces freed more than 700 slaves in a raid of South Carolina plantations . mississippitoday.org/2025/06/02/o...

Girls don’t turn queer because they’re indoctrinated They turn queer because they watched Gillian Anderson take her shirt off in the first episode of The X-Files

Alternate anniversary picture: @ctbbent.bsky.social sent this to me this morning and called it “Our Lady of Not Giving A Fuck” and that is why I married him right there

Happy anniversary to my best friend ♥️♥️♥️ marrying @ctbbent.bsky.social was the best decision I ever made. Love you, Bear!

BLOOD CYPRESS will be available at StokerCon! Grab your copy from the @rdspress.bsky.social website or at their table in the vendors’ room 🩸🩸🩸

Literally every single part of this is beyond-words appalling: Prisoners in VA are self-immolating (at least a dozen of them) due to the incredibly cruel and inhumane conditions. Then they threw the activist who exposed them into solitary in South Carolina. sfbayview.com/2025/05/stop...

Hardcore team physical notebook, must have a physical notebook to be able to write a novel. Not negotiable.

This little lint and her four equally floofy siblings have moved in. Pic deluge to follow.

Real publishers don’t ask you for money. Real agents don’t ask you for money.

I did not think I would need to learn differential analysis ever but I did and I taught my kid I feel so stupidly accomplished about my mad algebraic skills

Awesome panel! Always up for rambling about Southern horror (you know I’m in deep when I start mentioning Dumas and Walter Scott)

Doing this right this time and tagging the right @cohalloran.bsky.social! A wonderful read.

Me reading the “are sex scenes necessary” discourse again

Thanks to @kevharrison.bsky.social and @thisishorror.bsky.social for naming my interview about BLOOD CYPRESS as one of last week’s must read horror articles! www.thisishorror.co.uk/5-must-read-...

In a video recorded early last week, 14th Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden honored the work performed by the Library's staff, the heart of the institution. As the caretakers of our nation’s collective history, the staff will continue to serve Congress, the American public & users across the world.

Huge thanks to Christina at Uncomfortably Dark for the interview!
