I put together this starter pack for Ghost Story, Horror and Gothic Creatives. Lots of gaps and omissions, I'm sure! But it's a start(er)! Do follow and share :) go.bsky.app/47FnWrm

My starter pack needs more space than the 150 allotted so I’ll make a part two of horror folk, creatives, and evil doers. Also, why does Bluesky allow me to change the title of the pack but the graphic still says “horror writers”. Anyways, go celebrate these artists go.bsky.app/QBuj23L

If you would like to be added to a list of all things horror studies, please pop your name below :) go.bsky.app/Jc9mRp6
