In “When the Ghosts Come Tumbling In” @jsdouglas.bsky.social takes us on a strange, beautiful, tumbling journey 👇

It’s here! Take a break from your human horrors and read my eco horror short story. #horrorstory #shortstory 📚👀😱

I’m so excited!

Popping in to share that my zombie short story just came out! Check out Zombzine’s inaugural issue for “Last Date” and several other fun zombie-flavored reads! #zombie #horror www.zombzine.com/about-1

How cool is it to get an interview with an indie press? Idk, but Kandisha Press interviewed me and I couldn’t be more excited! Check it out if you have a minute! kandishapress.com/2025/04/11/i... #author

Is writing a poem easier or harder than writing a short story? I am obsessively editing and re-editing a poem to submit to an open call and I’m finding so many opportunities to second guess myself. I think sometimes having more words to work with makes things easier. #writingcommunity #amwriting

Just finished “Witchcraft for Wayward Girls.” It’s so fucked up. I loved it. #booksky📚

👻 Women In Horror 🦷 March is the perfect time to celebrate the incredible women shaping horror! Two years ago, my shelves seriously lacked women authors. Now, thanks to the book community, that’s changed. See any favorites? #WomenInHorror #HorrorBooks #BookSky #flatlay

Also, my very rude dog tried to devour “Out There Screaming.” Fortunately, he just gnawed on the corner of the book so I can still read it. It’s soooo good so far! #booksky📚

Libby is literally the best. I cannot wait to read “Witchcraft for Wayward Girls” by Grady Hendrix. He’s one of my favorite authors! #booksky📚

Happy snow day!

I spent all day yesterday working on my novel. I’ve only got 60 chapters to go! I’m dying to tell this story! #writer #amwriting

I live next to a privately owned train track, so it’s always a fun surprise when the train comes. Could come at 8:30 AM on a Thursday, might be 10 AM on a Sunday. Might just be the guy who owns it transporting his jeep up and down the track for some reason.

My ideal reader for my WIP is someone who loves a mix of fantastical and real life horror. And potentially the kind of person who is interested in reading about and dissecting cults. #pretendpanel

THORNS books2read.com/BHP-THORNS Stories of survival & despair, where nature turns predator. Where life is a gamble, & death waits just beyond the horizon. #HORROR #SUPERNATURAL #OCCULT #WritingCommunity #readingcommunity #booksky🌎📚💙 #bookbloggers #bookblast #bookpromo #tbrpile

My short story “Thorned” is now available! You can find it in the “Thorns” anthology published by @blackharepress.bsky.social. So excited for people to read it and all of the other excellent stories in this anthology! #horror #horrorbook 💙📚👀📢📚😱

Someone who hasn’t spoken to me in 3 years just messaged me to ask “how do you splice a few things together?” Is this the beginning of a horror movie or does she want to learn photoshop? I am only educated in one of those things. Stay tuned.

There’s something so weird about being a writer. You are confident that your story must be told while fighting imposter syndrome. Also, nothing you write will ever be good enough so you keep doing it, spilling out story after story until one day, you look back and realize that you became an author.

I need to squeeze in some writing time today. I have a huge work project and 10,000 story ideas swirling in my head. #writer

Post a pic you took with no description to bring some zen to the timeline.

It is 7:22 and dawn just started a few minutes ago. I can’t tell if all of this darkness gets me in the writing mood or if I just want to hibernate. #horrorwriter #winter

So excited to see my short story in this anthology!

I am so excited that my short story “Thorned” was picked up by @blackharepress and is included in their anthology! It was a lot of fun to write and I hope you horror readers out there enjoy reading it! Preorder link: books2read.com/BHP-THORNS #horrorwriting #booksky 💙📚

Shout out to @silviamg.bsky.social! She’s an amazing author. #horrorwriterchat

Hi! I’m JS Douglas and my horror works are a novel called “The Cult of Elle” and a novella called “Terror at Twll Du.” My favorite horror franchises are The Addams Family and Dracula. Books-wise I’ll read anything by King or Grady Hendrix. #horrorwriterschat

Supernatural, folk, cosmic, and zombie horror are among my favorites. #horrorwriterchat
