When I go on a rant about people's reaction to the word "horror". Listen to me rant...then go listen to the whole podcast.

What do you think of when we say MIDDLE GRADE HORROR? What would you add to this conversation?

Well…I think the final piece of this short story finally clicked into place. I can now link this thing together. I’ve been fighting this thing FOREVER.

Need more middle grade horror that’s creepy and emotional? I got you. Travel to Nowhere and find more than lost things. Find who you are. 📚🩸 INTO THE GRAY and WITHIN THE BLACK Books 1 and 2 of The Nowhere Series from @undertakerbooks.bsky.social Book 3 coming in August!

Aaaaaand this book has me at chapter 0… I think i just read this three times in a row. Beautiful.

Up next! THE STAIRCASE IN THE WOODS by @chuckwendig.bsky.social Confession…i have never read anything by Mr Wendig.

Anyone else go to post on Insta and panic at the thought of not finding the perfect music to add?

Great book! A story of families and secrets and a past that needs to be heard. Creepy and heartbreaking. With healing at the end. Loved it! THE SILENCED by @dianawallachauthor.bsky.social

I need something fun to watch… Oh, look. THE BURBS.

The dark mass likes to hide around the corner or at the end of the hall or in the back of the closet. But I see it. I hear it gnawing and hissing. And I drag it into the light. Inspect it. Pick it apart. Rip it to pieces. Until it no longer exists. #HorrorWritersChat

Hi, #HorrorWritersChat! I'm JL DuRona, and I write spooky books for tweens! I'm currently writing a gothic horror, but I've done ghost stories and creature features too. Hands-down, my favorite movie set in a house is Beetlejuice!* RIP Catherine O'hara 🖤

They are filled with memories. They are filled with life. They are filled with questions. #HorrorWritersChat In INTO THE GRAY...the house leads Ember to Nowhere. In WITHIN THE BLACK...the house reminds Will of what he lost.

Oh look I'm so late...as in, it's done and I'm here. But hi! I'm Kathy and I write creepy gothic, weird stuff. For kids. And POLTERGEIST is the correct answer. #HorrorWritersChat

What you might not know about me... I love watching people play video games. I have YouTubers I have been watching for years. And it all started with my (then teen) daughter, who introduced me to Markiplier. I have enjoyed watching him learn and grow and become who he is.

Happy Middle Grade Monday, all!!! Let’s talk ANOTHER by Paul Tremblay!

“There was the daughter I had been before this conversation and there was the daughter I would be after, but the two would never be the same again.” From THE SILENCED by @dianawallachauthor.bsky.social What a powerful line. Wow. Let me just sit with that. 📚🩸

So creepy!!! I am loving this book! THE SILENCED by @dianawallachauthor.bsky.social 📚🩸

Been working on this story forEVER. And it is not clicking into place and sub day is like in a month... AND I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS NONSENSE

Guys. Just watch out…for Skeksis. They’ll drain your essence. Yes…finally on the finale.

Next up! THE SILENCED by @dianawallachauthor.bsky.social !!! I’m excited! 📚🩸

Happy Middle Grade Monday with @allymalinenko.bsky.social and BROKEN DOLLS! If you follow me anywhere you probably saw me post about this book. It’s fantastic! #MiddleGradeMonday 📚🩸

What a great book! A fantastic story about change and how it can infiltrate our lives. About how the fear of becoming someone different can make us not truly see ourselves. ANOTHER by @paultremblay.bsky.social 📚🩸

My dearest friend, @pippinacious.bsky.social is on the Stoker prelim ballot for her novella REAP, SOW!!!!! It is a GREAT story and I'm so excited for her! GO READ IT AND ENJOY Me screaming in real time and possibly scaring all my animals...

So…the movie Begonia…right? RIGHT?

Up next!!! More MG horror! 📚🩸

I’m finally watching Stranger Things season 5 and I have the same copy of A Wrinkle in Time that Holly has! And i have a strong need to read it AGAIN! This book changed me.

A fabulous story of family and finding your voice. Of grief and finding that you can still live and be happy. Of being okay with being sad. Creepy. Emotional. Beautiful. BROKEN DOLLS by @allymalinenko.bsky.social 📚🩸

Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42, post the second sentence. "God, he needed a drink."

I feel like I have a handle on this story...then I don't... Possibly I'm just scared to draft it... Cause drafting...ugh.

Happy Middle Grade Monday!!! This week let me introduce my MG horror book. INTO THE GRAY! Have a great day! Read more MG horror! 📚🩸

You did not do this @allymalinenko.bsky.social ! THIS POSTER? OMG And can’t wait to meet Miss Abyss! There’s so many things I love about this book! Must go back to reading now kthanxbye

Well. BROKEN DOLLS by @allymalinenko.bsky.social went from creepy to terrifying real quick. I LOVE IT!

Shout out to @victorianations.bsky.social @robinknabel.bsky.social and @renbolger.bsky.social for coming to listen to me read last night on Strong Women Strange Worlds! Seeing your names in the audience made me smile.

Broken Dolls has now rekindled my need to Sudoku. Thanks @allymalinenko.bsky.social! And the deep fear Kaye has of disappointing people….i feel this so much. And I love Tamzin.

Really loving this book! But dear @allymalinenko.bsky.social I have to admit that my brain just changed Uncle Stan to Uncle Satan and I don’t know what to do with that.

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness.
