‘The Houses of Belgrade’ by Borislav Pekić (1970) The reader realises that the narrator cares for buildings rather than humans, presenting an absurdly alien view on Yugoslavia’s history. This makes it all the more striking when human darkness intrudes on his narrative.

Hullo. Here’s a random poem for Saturday as having a little break from #vss365 Slightly tweaked, first in a Broken Spine Anthology. #poetry

One time, I watched one of those alien shows claim that "ancient" ruins of an Inka Empire fortress must have been made by aliens because the Inka didn't know what a wheel was. Like, how many of those shows are basically just, "lets do anything to avoid giving non-Europeans/Christians any credit"?🤣

If you haven't seen this last week's talk on short ghost fiction, it is well worth a look. Not only offering a deep dive into Robert Aickman, it looks a theorising the creepy tale in fascinating ways! youtu.be/xcJ7yf72kpQ

Having a day where everything I hear makes me feel physically sick. Awful things continue in Palestine, Cuba, the USA, Ukraine, Sudan, the Congo, and so many others - it's not all the same at all, but I feel helpless. So many people are living with it on their doorstep. Take care of yourself!

seems like a lot of people globally are very scared/angry/annoyed/deflated right now (for good reason - I am too), and just need to daydream about the world burning for non-stupid reasons.

I have a short story that's just under 6,400 words, and I'm just not sure about it. Would anyone be able to read it? I've been having bad luck with short stories lately - maybe something I'm doing needs improvement? I unfortunately can't pay, but I'd be happy to read/review something in return!

#HorrorWritersChat Q3: OMG MY JAM. My ace horrors: -The Sticklerman - christian persecution complex -Like Anglerfish - forced attraction/fusion -What Wakwaks Want - reproductive rights revoked -Nophobia - feeling evil or hypocritical for touch starvation, while evil church hypocrisy carries on

My first novel, "The Woods", is back on Amazon (tho still not the 1.5th edition). You can get that here: a.co/d/0ghQMw9X I also have a horror discord, particularly for horror authors. You can join that here: discord.gg/gc5rYvjXhu #HorrorWritersChat

#horrorwriterschat Increasingly noticing a theme of Isolation in my work, of experiencing something and not being able to explain it in a way other people will understand or believe. Which is a large part of my trauma around my disability.

Thank you for hosting, Mary! And thank you #HorrorWritersChat for being awesome, as usual. I've got a sexy, gross, and queer horror about sentient malls that arrives this summer. Pre-orders are happening right now! ✨ monitored-activity.backerkit.com/hosted_preor...

#HorrorWritersChat I use my monsters as an allegory for othering in many situations. My vampires are an allegory for transness/gender-nonconformity in many ways. I don't think I did this on purpose necessarily, but I've always related to vampires, and I've been on the direct receiving end of - 1/2

I've gone back to the idea that the justice system cares less about some people than others a few times. People that, if they are found dead or never found at all, just get written off. Murders dismissed as an overdose, disappearances the cops never look into, failures of justice. #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat I suppose one of the tropes I'm subverting is that my queer characters are the ones doing the burying instead of being buried 😈

Thanks, Mary, for another great #HorrorWritersChat! Today is the last day to read the Feb issue of THE HORROR ZINE. The March issue goes live tomorrow. Includes fiction by Ramsey Campbell & Nicholas Tana on horror filmmaking. Check it out here: www.thehorrorzine.com

I have started using older female characters and generally showing they are strong mentally - and often physically - even if I also include menopause-related symptoms. They have brains and wisdom and still a lot to offer. They might be crones but they are not hags! #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat I love writing characters that are sort of (or completely) unhinged - everyone is one bad day away from losing it in their own unique way. This allows me to give characters deep emotions and avoid either downplaying their humanity or playing into pathologizing/dismissal (I hope)

Calvin James Lincoln is a old, gay, Black punk musician facing a crossroads (and ancient evil) after his comeback tour collapses in a strange, small town. He was inspired by the 2012 doc A Band Called Death and facing the realization that your best years might be far behind you. #HorrorWritersChat

This is going to sound like a f*cking cop out, but I pull so frequently from these things that I struggle to think of a specific answer… The major theme of Nostalgiamares is the deadly lie of nostalgia, which is directly linked with fascism. #HorrorWritersChat

The main horror I explore in Calvin's book, WINTER LULLABY, is the horror of what people are willing to sacrifice for some concept of comfort and security. What evils are people willing to overlook if they might benefit? Given our current place in history, it's terrifying. #HorrorWritersChat

In LWF, I mainly explore patriarchal oppression and ableism, although the cult is also homophobic and we do see touches of that. I have the most direct experience with misogyny and ableism, so that's where I tend to lean. #HorrorWritersChat
