Crafty queer with a glue gun strikes again- forever blooms make great accent pieces. #craftyqueer

Crazy that people need to be told not to eat Taco Bell to avoid diarrhea….

Huge congrats to @philip-rowan.bsky.social on their debut novella from @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social ACROSS THE TRAPPED AND BOUNDLESS DEEP! Out in the cosmos… something sings with your voice. With a special appearance by @sillysyntax.bsky.social #horror #scifihorror #queerhorror #horrornovella

The Shards / Bret Easton Ellis / I’ve been really into metafiction/autofiction recently & this falls right into that camp. A greatest hits tour of what I love about his writing-ambiguity, obsession, an unreliable narrator, coke-addled supporting characters. #psychologicalhorror #tangibleparticipant

Mississauga this morning, no filter. Wild fires, heatwave and a lack of action on climate change.

Every day I think about this passage

All the Hearts You Eat / @haileypiperfights.bsky.social / An incredible exploration of identity & how we become who we always knew we were + the tragic outcomes that come to pass when our dreams are offered to us at staggering cost. Poetry, heartache and brutality flow freely here. #horror

Too hot to do anything outside so I’m gonna try and get a big word count in on my draft novel today!

StokerCon was incredibile this year! I got to moderate a Queer Villains panel that I did at @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social fest, w/ @haileypiperfights.bsky.social @jamesthefourth.bsky.social , @jonathanlees.bsky.social , @emmaemurray.bsky.social @gothmother666.bsky.social #horror #horrorwriting

You used to go to websites and they would have guestbooks that people would sign like it was a bed and breakfast

One of the best ways to stalk your literary idols is to publish some books and land yourself on a panel about queer gothic horror at StokerCon. Follow me for more tips 👻 #imyournumberonefan #billymartin poppyzbrite #queerhorror #horrorwriter

One year ago today, at the Berlin Wall. I love travel and thinks it’s also very important to preserve and remember our history, now more than ever.

An all-Scots horror anthology?! Yes. 🦄🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🩸
