My long distance partner did a tarot reading for me and it told me I need to do less things And it's right! And I'd love to let go of some of my freelance commitments! But I literally can't afford to Soooo buy my book to help me change that?

If I may recommend a recommendation, THIS IS MY BODY is eligible in the novel category! And I'm gonna be honest with you: I think it's good as hell and deserves to be on the list.

In a world full of people tearing things down, keep on creating, friends. 🩵

😳 Would you go down there… just to find your cat? The cellar’s been sealed for 20 years. You swore it would be quick. It wasn’t the cat. It never was. And now the door won’t open. Just one of 100+ chilling tales in Dark Descent: Whispers From Beyond. Link in bio #BookSky #horror #HorrorCommunity

Andrew Joseph White's You Weren't Meant to Be Human is a violent examination of transness and autonomy after the fall of reproductive rights. Alex Brown recommends it for the right horror fan: reactormag.com/book-review-...

#WipSnips - "Red" I shared this one recently for one of Ian Haramaki's prompts, but here it is again

The horrors persist, but I will not stop making subversive comics that spit in the face of the kinds of people that create those horrors. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/w...

you know it's been a wild year when this is not the weirdest thing you've heard in a while. But is it really a remake if any part of it feels planed instead of being pure chaos?

Thinking about backing the upcoming Curiouser anthology? Here are a few reasons why you should. (It's the amazing writers. They're the reason.) @tillybridges.bsky.social @susanlbridges.bsky.social @nmamatas.bsky.social @davallone.bsky.social @hdwp.com

"There were fifteen stairs; she struck her head on the seventh." We're sharing a delicious (and dark) excerpt from @freyamarske.bsky.social's upcoming sapphic Cinderella novella Cinder House! Things are looking awfully Gothic in here. reactormag.com/excerpts-cin...

Listen bro, you can create a little and you did something. You can create nothing, take care of your mental, rest, and you did something. Imagine, envision. It builds toward the ultimate goal of finishing something. Sometimes, this shit is slow and agonizing. Just do what you can when you can.

#HorrorWritersChat Hmmm, I tend to match what a person owns to their personality, when/where they are, etc. I've never thought much about old versus new as part of the horror, but I should start!

#HorrorWritersChat I can't say tech really shows up that much in my writing. I guess my characters and settings tend to be a bit mundane. Trees have a running death toll.

Hi, I’m Kimberly, I write horror that sneaks up on you. Two collections out, drafting a novel. I don’t use any writerly tech during the writing process. I usually type in Word (all tech “assistance” disabled). If I get stuck I take pen or pencil to paper to draft sections. Q1 #horrorwriterschat

#HorrorWritersChat Hi, all! I’m Steph, writing queer horror under the name S.E. Withers. My preferred tech is Scrivener and my Notes app for “middle of the night and I have too many ideas” scribbles haha #QueerAuthors #QueerHorror

Howdy! I'm Nate. I write a wide range of spec fic--most with at least a touch of horror. Currently working on a zombie novella. I write to music and prefer Skull Candy headphones, and I swear by pocket notebooks and pens to say organized (Field Notes and Pilot G2 are my go-to). #HorrorWritersChat

Hello #HorrorWritersChat! I’m Ell, I write ace horror, mostly supernatural or paranormal. But my biggest project right now is a Gothic novel, an aroace retelling of Frankenstein. I don’t swear by any tech 🤷🏻‍♀️ I use Microsoft Word, but it did something weird to my wakwak story last night.

Dum, Dum, Dum!!!!!!!!!! Assemble, #HorrorWritersChat writers. Assemble, and give us your shit for Q1. Your name, your number, but not your links. You know the game. Leave that for the end. Right? Right.
