Hello again #HorrorWritersChat! I'm Victor- a writer of short, visceral, and somewhat surreal horror. I would volunteer for anything that promises cool monster parts.

Thank you for hosting another wonderful week, Eryn!! Land of Gold, which is now going to be a BOOK, is being worked on intensively! Hopefully I'll have more updates to share in this community soon! #HorrorWritersChat

Thank you, Eryn. 🥹 It means a lot to hear that. I’ll do something a little different and promote my Bluesky page! If the premise of the short story mentioned in question 2 sounded cool to you, you should follow me for updates on my writing progress. Hope you get to read it soon! 💖 #HorrorWritersChat

#horrorwriterschat Thanks for hosting! I sorta caught up. My horror/fantasy graphic novel #TheWorldsBetweenUs will be crowdfunding next month! A tale of magic and terror told in the Green Mountains of Vermont! www.kickstarter.com/projects/one... Pre-launch page is looking for supporters!

Don’t have any medical horrors to share with ya this week, #HorrorWritersChat, but I do have bunnies. Nice, sweet, mutant, killer rabbits. Check out Hare-Raising Summer (available now in paperback and ebook)! www.cateyepress.com/store/p/hare...

My short story is in this anthology! I'm officially a published author now, and I couldn't have asked for a better debut. Proceeds go to help a cancer charity, which is an issue very close to my heart.

Thanks, Eryn! Find me at writesinister.substack.com, and listen to Echoes of Elsewhere, a Call of Cthulhu/D&D crossover podcast that's really getting good now. Find it wherever you find podcasts, or on YouTube. rss.com/podcasts/ech... #horrorwriterschat #d&d #podcast #callofcthulhu

Evening all! I write spooky trauma with hopeful undertones. For clinical trials, I think I'd be nervous for most, but would depend how desperate I am for relief as to just how firm my no is! #HorrorWritersChat

So about a year ago I wrote a thriller horror about Wisps from another dimension and pain and horror and also falcons and Hellstalkers and harps. As one does. #horrorwriterschat www.amazon.com/Wants-Us-Ali...

Book 2 author copies just arrived on my doorstep! #HorrorWritersChat

Also, I'm not allowed to read this until the end of the month because it's technically a birthday present, but look what I've got! So excited to dive into this CYA story by @acbauer.bsky.social

Thanks @erynmccee.bsky.social and all of #HorrorWritersChat! A real cure for wellness tonight. Keeping with the short stories, if you’d like to read more of mine you can either… Get the collections so far: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0753FNB2N Or Read on my site: olijbooks.wordpress.com/flash-fiction/

Our very first #HorrorWritersChat anthology is out! THE SHADOWS THAT WE CARRY Our very first review was ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🩸📚 #TheShadowsThatWeCarry

#HorrorWritersChat Q4: I think after the comments I was basically taking it, anyway. Congrats to me, I'm now superhuman, but also sentient goo. Hopefully it's more of a clayface situation and less of a Resident Evil final boss one.

#HorrorWritersChat Q3: "Minor Side Effects include: Hypertension, double vision, stomach pulse, phantom limbs, second sight, and skeletal itch." It would be scary if it weren't intentional. I signed up knowing what was going to happen to me. It will destroy me, but I need to see her again.

Hey I'm Rascal, I write queer weird horror, and in no universe am I volunteering for that study where they found out that the fear of suffocation is not rooted in the amygdala

I'm E. D. Jones and I'm late again. I would not volunteer for any clinical trial that involves removing any part of me. I write weird fiction, horror, and a wee bit of queer fantasy romance. #horrorwriterschat

Q1: #HorrorWritersChat JD Buffington here, author of the morose and macabre. I tried joining trials regarding my generalized anxiety. They are not very flexible with time and when you’re broke, they all become scary. But—no computer interface brain implants for me. I am not a Borg. I will resist.

#HorrorWritersChat I am the Spooky Pickle that haunts every empty jar ever. I write all sorts of horror. I tend to like the ghostly and eldritch kind. As for clinical trials...probably anything that involves putting a chip in my body, or diet pill trial.

#HorrorWritersChat Q2: I try to make it sterile and clinical. Detachment is part of the fear. That you're just a body being worked on, not a patient, not even a person. That the outcomes matter, but your experience doesn't. Rather than the system working for you, you're working for the system.

Hello #HorrorWritersChat! I'm Seb, I'm a queer trans guy and I'm currently writing a religious horror and editing a dark fantasy (both very queer 👀) I wouldn't volunteer for any clinical trials; my body misbehaves enough as it is without someone meddling with it!

I’m Clover, and I write experimental psychological horror. A clinical trial to “cure” autism would be a no from me. It brings to mind the mutant cure in X-men. #HorrorWritersChat

Hi I'm HD Beird, just set up my new Laptop on time HD stands for Hunkering Down I write violent, sexy scifi horror nonsense that's fun I would not volunteer for anything involving my brain May confirm what I fear That there's nowt there #HorrorWritersChat

Hoi! I'm J. Neira, cozy horror author & slush reader for a few places. Oof, I wouldn't volunteer for any unnecessary medical procedures, lol. But I would especially not want them doing anything to my brain. 😱 #HorrorWritersChat Q1

Hi, I'm Stephanie Ellis, writer of folk horror, postapocalyptic, gothic & historical horror. Not sure there's anything specific but I'd say anything where I had to inject myself. I can cope with nurses sticking a needle in but couldn't do it myself! Oh, a thought, laxatives 😅 #HorrorWritersChat

I'm Miss Bert, I write all kinds of weird horror and I would not volunteer to have my eyes replaced or to be eaten alive by lab animals. Please note, I am about to have my eyes replaced during Cataract/glaucoma surgery and I am terrified. #horrorwriterschat #bodyhorror #cyborg

Greetings! I'm Mary, co-host of #HorrorWritersChat and writer of cosmic, gothic, and weird horror. Zero clinical trials for me. I know folks who did paid trials and made them sound cosy. Take books. Be sick. Maybe have a placebo. Be constantly watched. The only Placebo I want is the band.

Howdy, #HorrorWritersChat ! I am Artemis Quinn, I write dark fantasy and supernatural horror, and... I wouldn't volunteer for any clinical trial. The thought of an experimental drug or surgery freaks me out.

Hi, I'm Hadassah! I write gothic, historical horror, often supernatural, w/ a bias towards child characters, fae, and dolls. Currently writing a novella in verse set in ~1560 about a person being drawn to a witch in the woods.🔪 I would not volunteer for a trial involving memory. 🖤 #HorrorWritersChat

Hi all, I'm The Last Something and I write scary stories about monsters and other terrible things I'm sure there's plenty of clinical trials that would freak me out, but any involving sleep might be the most inconvenient. I enjoy sleep and don't want mine messed with #HorrorWritersChat

Hello #HorrorWritersChat it's Vincent again. I write gothic and Lovecraftian horror. This is an interesting question... ANY clinical trial, tbh. I'm not afraid of medical stuff, my body just sucks in unique ways and it wouldn't be worth the physical pain. Especially if I'm not getting paid!

#HorrorWritersChat My name is Rosé Black. I write horror and horror comedy. A clinical trial I would absolutely not volunteer for would be any ran by Mehmet Oz.

I'm Amber from central Maine. I write all kinds of horror, most with cults or ghosts. There are very few clinical trials I would volunteer for without major extenuating circumstances. Anything with nausea as a side effect is a no for me unless the alternative is literally death. #HorrorWritersChat

Mark Guyer writes horror about identity and pop culture with lots of plot twists and jokes. He absolutely would not volunteer for any clinical trials whatsoever because he is certain they will mutate him in an unfortunate way. #horrorwriterschat

Rebecca Cantrell. I write horror/mysteries/thrillers/comedy. I wouldn't volunteer for any kind of clinical trial. I have trust issues. #horrorwriterschat

Hey #HorrorWritersChat! It’s me, A.C. And I write a variety of horror but enjoy it most when it’s kinda fun and unserious. As for clinical trials…. I would never sign up for anything involving spiders or snakes. That’s one phobia that doesn’t need fixing.

"What is your name?" Martin Shannon, Rare Book Author "What is your quest?" To write Word-Processor-to-Shelf Non-GMO horror and dark fantasy imaginings. "What kind of clinical trial would you not volunteer for?" I live in America. All of them. #HorrorWritersChat

Hey #HorrorWritersChat. Oli Jacobs here, travelling the multiverse of cosmic horror and reporting the terrible truths as “stories”. Personally I wouldn’t volunteer for a hair growth trial. I’ve already got enough as it is and fear it will turn me into a swarming mass of feral follicles.

#HorrorWritersChat Q1: Hello everyone, my name is Jacob Marsh and I write horror and supernatural thrillers. The fictional clinical trial is a tough one. On the one hand, it's how everyone gets superpowers, on the other, it's also how all the deformed monsters get made. Tough call!

The first book from #HorrorWritersChat members is in the wild.

#HorrorWritersChat Q4: It's pretty popular, but still a strange title; the game Little Nightmares really crept into the back of my brain. I still think about the ending at least once a week.

#HorrorWritersChat Q3: open.spotify.com/track/3FZlUm...

Hello #HorrorWritersChat! Love the theme! I’m Ell and I write ace horror. My strange & unusual tip is something I’ve asked & heard another author in person on once: in the edits, make your protagonist dumber than you. If they’re going to have an arc or learn a lesson you can speak on confidently.
