For the first time in three days, the accursed dreams returned. Stranger still, I was in the foyer of our home back in Sargasso. The night of the abduction. Sat at the table with Mother. Father hadn’t returned home yet. No Ducconni yet either. 💙📚 🩸📚 ⏰📚 #bskyart

Whoops, missed the tag. #HorrorWritersChat While I'm here, you could also check out my current series, the Birch Island Cases. www.amazon.ca/stores/Jacob...

You rip out the tooth, its blood gleaming with opportunity. He screams. You smile. This is just the beginning. #HorrorWritersChat

Ah yes, greets #HorrorWritersChat. It is I, a spooky pickle. I cast jarring hexes from the towers of Castle Brine. As for curses that frighten me most? The curse of improper seals! Oh! and paralysis and rotting hexes.

You rip out the tooth, its blood gleaming with opportunity. You spit as you gaze on it, then look up at the face, first leering, then aghast. You spit again, letting it drip, consecrating the ivory. "Did you think I would purge that promise? Words are dust. Now, so are you." #Horrorwriterschat

When the spirit(s) compel me, I blog semi-spiritual reflections on movies I love. This is a Haunted Mansion reflection I wrote in 2020 before US election results. Coming up: Interview with the Vampire and Asexuality! #HorrorWritersChat worrydollsandfloatinglights.wordpress.com/2020/11/02/i...

I feel, since the week's theme has been curses and hexes, that I should help promote this lovely charity anthology of women's rage. My story, Babs, is about a woman who performs a chilly but very righteous hex on a sexist and destructive farmer. www.amazon.co.uk/Good-Her-Ant... #HorrorWritersChat

Always with the great questions, #HorrorWritersChat. Well, I need jars. And brine. From there, well, the ingredients, intention, and rhyme make it happen. It's very easy to go wrong. Generally, I just like to pickle brains a bit from afar.

There is also my novella, which features someone hexing a stray cosmic being. And that goes about as well for everyone as you'd expect. #HorrorWritersChat payhip.com/b/58paC

Well, #HorrorWritersChat, tbh, I'm a mere spooky pickle. Not a evil one. So I can't say I'd make my hexes go too far beyond mild pettiness and discomfort. But in stories, weeeeell, it really depends. Some have to give up their soul. Some lose dignity. Limbs. Memories. Those sorts of things.

#HorrorWritersChat You give some limbs and an eye, Offer it more of your teeth and blood, You try to stop But you have no control Wings grow out of the back, The creature smiles and coos, As it takes from you Beware how much you give Before you can't stop.

My ace horror version to the same Q4 prompt: bsky.app/profile/noct... #HorrorWritersChat

This Spooky Pickle has some scribbles, #HorrorWritersChat. I re-released my book of horror poetry, The Shadow on the Wall. It's found on maaaany places. Some where it's even free! linktr.ee/spookypickle If you like that, you should check out my #BookBazaar25 project, Fairy Seasons.

#HorrorWritersChat Getting to these as I see them as I just got back. Probably everything. I mean this is basically the premise of Black Cat Bookshop: making a payment that is not as easy as tapping a credit card against black plastic. Some refused to pay, sacrificing themselves. Some paid

I…just realized what would have made this even more ace, and even more horrifying… #HorrorWritersChat

You rip out the tooth, its blood gleaming with opportunity. No. Disappointment hits like a spike of mortality. The pleasure never came. You will never know, never see what they see. All the pale bodies around you laugh, drunk in ecstasy, splattered in blood. You die aware. 🧛‍♀️ #HorrorWritersChat

“You rip out the tooth, it’s blood gleaming with opportunity. Clamp your mouth over theirs and kiss… hard and deep… sucking… tasting the copper tang of their essence as it fills your mouth… as it’s slakes your lust… and burns you to life again.” #HorrorWritersChat

"You rip out the tooth, its blood gleaming with opportunity. Sunken candles connect pinpricks of ambition in your eyes with it, dancing in the small, earth-laden room. "You lick the flow of blood from the hole in your gums. Your smile is tinged in red." #HorrorWritersChat

They’d have to face themselves. Truly face themselves, the demons within them, the cost of their actions. And more, they’d have to go deeper, understand the why…why do they do what they do? Why are they the way they are? And then remove that from themselves, whatever it is. #HorrorWritersChat

I'm going to show how bad a person I am and curse all politicians: from now on, may they only be able to tell the truth. #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat Question 2: If someone was enough of a problem to need cursing, I would transport them to a remote cave far away from anyone they could hurt. Plenty of food and water, but the only company would be other people bad enough to need cursing.

I feel like I have a pretty good pain threshold, so my curse/hex would be pain transference. I'd inflict pain upon myself & I'd be transferred to my victim of choice. Imagine pulling your own nails off & then someone else feels the extreme pain from it? Delicious 😈 #HorrorWritersChat

I’m too much of a scaredy cat to mess with mystical forces so no curses or hexes from me… Knowing my luck they’d only rebound and affect me instead anyway. 😂😂😂 #HorrorWritersChat

"To my eye it was intriguing rather than delightful, somewhat of a curiosity rather than a thing of beauty – not an ornament of a type I would desire for myself, merely that its aesthetic was so striking that it commanded the gaze. My acquaintance confessed that he found it ghastly" 📚💙📚👀📢📚😱
