ACE HORROR IS ALIVE AND WELL

How far would you go for immortality? What would you do for a life without pain? Preorder your copy now to find out how steep that price will be. www.trubornpress.com/shop/p/the-v...

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

Thanks for the questions this week! Shout out here to The Folk in the Woods by @erynmccee.bsky.social for her disturbing but enjoyable folk horror. www.amazon.co.uk/Folk-Woods-M...

Thank you for the accursed questions (no? Too soon?) I'd like to take this chance to promote the horror podcast Staring Into The Abyss I'm co-hosting along with @brandenburgdm.bsky.social and Richard Gerlach. We discuss horror stories, talk to authors & have a good time. Check us out on Spotify

Where The Soul Goes came out two weeks ago from Truborn Press! Dystopian, quiet sci-fi horror featuring an ace chef road-tripping across an alternate 80's US with Death. I'll be at Vortex Books & Comics this Saturday from 1-3 PM to sign copies! www.amazon.com/Where-Soul-G... #horrorwriterschat

But one is not enough for your wish. In fact, there are 31 still in his mouth, awaiting release. The Tooth Fairy will reward you most handsomely. #HorrorWritersChat

(This is all too real after dealing with some dental trauma these last two weeks, btw.) "Pain is inevitable in the wake of loss. Remove the cancer. Let the diseased blood commune with the earth. Cleansed by dirt. Let the wound glare open; the malice extricated from the mouth." #horrorwriterschat

I am not a spiteful person. But I have quite a fixation on justice. So the only type of person I'd hex would be someone who had misused their power, punched down. I would want their particular abuse to be turned on them. You'd need anger to cast my sort of hex. The righteous sort. #HorrorWritersChat

I cursed my enemy with loneliness. Incurable loneliness. Go touch grass. Look at sky and/or mountain. Listen to beach. You can know love and kinship again when you find it in yourself and the world. #HorrorWritersChat

Aspects of their personality, especially hypocrisy, smugness, greed, selfishness, bigotry and more! They would have to sign a contract in blood, that would be a magical 'electronic tag'. If the lapse the curse comes back. So really, they are never free! #HorrorWritersChat

Their own hatred. How? I have no idea. Maybe by some way of bearing their soul to all. #horrorwriterschat

Hatred. Loathing. Intolerance. Bigotry. Racism. Sexism. Transphobia. Idealisms that divide and attempt to position people on pillars over others. Along with a small amputation of their choice from themselves as a reminder not to fall into that way of thinking again. #horrorwriterschat

Justify. For every evil someone does, an evil is done to them in return. I love a good "eye for an eye" thing. #horrorwriterschat

Going to try to do this in between edits and commute back! I cast ... yeah let's not go there. What hex or curse scares me most? The one done by someone who doesn't know what they are doing 😃 #HorrorWritersChat And HIIIIIII Greeeeeeeee

Hi #HorrorWritersChat I'm Villimey, a horror author from Iceland! I think the most terrifying curse or hex would be the one that makes everyone forget you exist. How lonely is that? 😰

HI I'm Anna. I'm British and I'm from Birmingham, though I now live in London. I think the curses where you're forced to live through a terrible moment over and over again are especially terrifying. Yes, never being allowed to die. #HorrorWritersChat

Hello, Cabal. I'm E. D. Jones. I write horror, weird fiction, sci-fi, and urban fantasy, often with a bit of humor. The scariest curse would be one that screws with my perception of reality, so that I don't know who I am, where I am, or what threats lie in the darkness. #horrorwriterschat

Hey, #horrorwriterschat! It is I: Katherine Silva, "Kat" for short. Writer of the dark, depressing and bleak. I don't know enough about hexes and curses to know any specific ones but I think anything associated with slowly, painfully dying is horrific. Worse still: living forever in pain.

Looking for something to really stir up your TBR this fall? How about a little game of WHAT SCARES YOU MOST? Take a peek at some of my popular titles and what makes them frightful delights. Add one or two or six to your reading lists for the season! www.goodreads.com/author/list/...

This is my 7th book & 2nd being told in a post Rider world. It deals with the fallout from my 6th book, where Jeramiah Abrum perhaps flew too close to the sun. It gives up answers in other words, while simultaneously setting up his endgame. #BookSky Get it before you can’t. www.bishopriderbooks.com

For your humble consideration, friends. I've written two books this year, edited my first anthology, and wrote one strange beautiful short story. These all contain pieces of my soul. Think of them when you're making your recs, please and thank you. Want review copies? Message me.

That silly little picture you generated is cranking up energy costs, hurting artists, and adding absolutely nothing to the world.

Hell yes! A conspiracy theory around a chair company, with Tim Robinson trying to untangle it all? What more could you ask for? youtu.be/b0lDMHAGDnU?...

Still obsessed with this stunning cover! 😍

Face Friday is all about staying hydrated. Are you drinking enough water? I might be drinking more water on account of this obnoxious dental issue I'm dealing with. Hoping those antibiotics do the trick and start making this feel better soon. 😭

It's sad when our entertainers are braver than our politicians.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Horror folks, it's the middle of September, and the Stoker Recommended Reading List is looking extremely small. If you're a member of the HWA, go recommend something you've read that you loved! horror.org/awards/curre...
