👻 HAPPY RELEASE DAY 👻 Where Once He Stood by @dancoxon.bsky.social has hit the world 😱 A missing person crime narrative expertly blended with Satanic horror; a modern suburban folk tale about disappearing houses and lost children – and the leap of faith required to bring them home. 🩸📚😱📚💙📢📚

Good morning #skywriters! There’s a cool breeze outside at the minute but it’s gonna be another scorcher today, here in the U.K.! Stay hydrated! 😎🤙🏻

Sitting in bed working on Blessed Be. Got the loft window open. The sky is pastel grey as the daylight fades and there’s birdsong in the trees. Pretty much a perfect night for writing (particularly now the temperature has dropped).

Let me tell you, if I could go back and read Interview with the Vampire again for the first time, that would be a real delight. It checked off a lot of "firsts" for me, too, and the language! I would love to sink into that story's velvet-clad brutality all over again. #HorrorWritersChat

I’m Kimberly Davis Basso, I write horror fiction and humor non-fiction. I don’t know the name of the movie- but as a kid in the 70s my mom let me watch 2/3 of a horror flick and sent me to bed before the resolution. So as far as I know, that slimy monster is still out there. Q1 #horrorwriterschat

Thank you for some great questions! Harrowfield is a folk horror for summer. Pagan v occult, an ancient goddess & the time of the Crone. Underestimate older women at your peril. mybook.to/Harrowfield #HorrorWritersChat #booksky #folkhorror

Awesome questions this week, thank you! Gonna promo something different today #HorrorWritersChat - the Dracula's Anniversary Bundle ends soon! You can get my short story Honoria and a bunch of other vampire tales! Please check it out! itch.io/b/3663/dracu...

Thanks for hosting this week! Always love getting to extol the virtues of the Blair Witch! As I said, it inspired my love of blending something realistic with the uncanny, like my haunted house novel, which features a famous escape artist and spiritualist debunker… #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat "Rose" turns 7 in less than a month. If a fantasy-horror story about a young woman turned into a plant/human hybrid (and that's just the start of her problems) sounds good to you, help me celebrate and check it out! www.amazon.com/Rose-Rami-Un... #HorrorSky #BookSky

Thanks for hosting! My first book is out now, as is a special edition of Fritz Leiber's classic 'Conjure Wife' that I edited with the assistance of the great Ramsey Campbell: travisdjohnson.net/books

Happy (almost) birthday! Always fun when an author treats us 🎂

Thanks for running this, Senka! 🖤 I have a gothic horror novella: In 1926, Rosalyn (aged 9) invents a game of royalty with her dormmates. When it takes over their lives and stopping isn't an option; Rosalyn must 'win' and be Queen. It escalates. 👑🍀🔨 bookshop.org/p/books/what... 🖤 #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat I’d love to watch From Dusk Til Dawn all over again. I went into that totally blind, had no idea what it was about & when it turns in the middle it was such a shock (in a good way). You can never repeat that feeling, which is a shame, but the film still works on rewatches anyway.

#HorrorWritersChat I wouldn’t write a sequel to The Magic Cottage, but I’d quite like to write the screenplay for a third Craft (the first film is another massive influence of mine)… bring back Nancy and Sarah for one final witchy face off.

#HorrorWritersChat I mean, it’s a spooky horror set in a rural village/forest, with ghosts, witchcraft and a sinister cult terrorising the main characters, all features of my work to greater or lesser degrees!

#HorrorWritersChat 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻 I’m Gary Kruse and I write supernatural thrillers set in rural villages packed with ghosts, mysteries, conspiracies and human monsters. James Herbert was a big influence on me and his book, The Magic Cottage, was my favourite.

London is roasting so I’m decamping to a coffee shop with A/C for a little lunch break #editing session. 😎🤙🏻 #WriteSky #indieauthor #heatwave #london

It’s #WorldDraculaDay so it would be remiss of me not to shout out my collection of short #horror fiction which contains not one, but FOUR, new takes on the #vampire myth. Oh, and it’s FREE on #kindleunlimited mybook.to/MOTC #vampires #Horrorsky #HorrorAuthor 🩸📚💙

London bound on the day job today… Which may sound crazy considering I could work from home and it’s gonna be 33 degrees BUT… My work office has AC and my home office only has a fan! Have a good one! 😎🤙🏻 #indieauthor #authorlife #writingcommunity #skywriters #HorrorAuthor

Out and about early today to beat the heat. This was Lake Meadow in Billericay this morning. 😎🤙🏻

Always good to wake up to an email from Harry & Meghan’s production company asking if they can buy the movie rights to Mistress of the Crows… I’ve said they can have them if they pay me £10’000’000 up-front with 50% royalties going forward. I’ll let you know what they say… 😁😎🤙🏻 #HorrorAuthor

Morning #WriteSky! Last night I rewrote the scene that had me blocked in my #WIP, Blessed Be. Deleted 400 words and add 500 so I’m up on the deal. Have a great Sunday and if you’re writing, may the words flow freely and your characters behave themselves! 😎🤙🏻 #indieauthor #skywriters

Out of choice, I’m completely pantsing my new WIP Blessed Be, but I have been stuck on how to move forward since Tuesday… Today I figured out where the story needs to go now and have got the next few scenes figured out. 🎉🎉🎉😎🤙🏻 #HorrorAuthor #horror #indieauthor

When the weathers like this I want to be here: #Cornwall #authorlife #inspiration.

A coffee machine robot narrates and footnotes this sci-fi detective comedy, about which Publishers Weekly (starred review) said: "Sure to appeal to fans of Douglas Adams, this zany, uproarious mystery is a constant delight.” www.amazon.com/Great-Americ... scottsteinonline.com/books/the-gr...
