In memory of my big brother on his birthday 🧡

In light of a recent medical emergency my release of SOUR DOE is gonna be riding that fine line of "just made it" and "arrived just in time". I won't have time to let interested parties beta read for development purposes, but don't mind letting you read for funsies! 🧵

My brain is still in gear from last night's HorrorWritersChat, so thanks @erynmccee.bsky.social for finding myself thinking "imagine losing your keys as a time traveller? You can't go back to before you set off for fear of a paradox, but you can't remember where & in what century you put them down!"

Been at a hotel last night for a work meeting, and can I just say that I have never felt more like an author than I did sitting at a desk in a hotel room, cracking open my notebooks and scribbling away!

Always a great #horrorwriterschat 🖤 I always suggest horror readers start with my first collection, Next Door. 13 eerie tales, one of them true. All the places linktr.ee/kdbwrites

Thanks, Eryn! 😁 It's almost spooky month, so why not cozy with a horror short collection of mine Visceral Discoveries has 14 short horrors, ranging from cults, doomsday preppers and a romantic getaway in deep sea 😉 www.amazon.com/Visceral-Dis...

Thanks for hosting, I adored the questions! If folk horror, feminine rage, or a descent into madness interests you, check out The Price of Peace. A Witch's errand is in there, too, which is a lighter paranormal historical, + a preview of my upcoming horror novella senkaheksum.carrd.co#pub

It’s out in a couple days, it’s my birthday the same day (9/5), it takes place in Septembers through the years as inhabitants experience and try to understand the specters that haunt the Backlund House. Thanks, Eryn, for a great #HorrorWritersChat!

Thanks Eryn! #HorrorWritersChat, in the mood for some Victorian horror this spooky season? Then you'll love "The Pure World Comes," about a maid who goes to work for a mad scientist. Available in paperback, ebook and audio book. www.amazon.com/Pure-World-C... #HorrorSky #BookSky

Thanks, Eryn! I had a blast as always. My Bruce Campbell (yes, THAT Bruce Campbell!) interview is live at The Horror Zine. Interview with John Russo, co-writer of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD coming soon. Also coming soon: some short stories including one based on the Lizzie Borden ax murders.

Thank you, Eryn! Y'all do an AMAZING job every week! My latest is CHILDREN OF SOLITUDE, queer Appalachian cosmic horror about a prickly queen, his (awful and dead) mother's haunted house, and his budding relationship with the porn star next door. www.michaelgwilliamsbooks.com/buy-children...

Well, this is my novella, which is not remotely historical, but I'm kind of an artefact so... Bugs. Libraries. Eldritch beings. Sentient suburban woods. Grief that's even wilder than them. #HorrorWritersChat payhip.com/b/58paC

Thank you, Eryn! (History is my 1st love!) The goodreads link is up for my new folk horror, Harrowfield, if people would like to add it to their 'want to reads'! Pre-order is here mybook.to/Harrowfield www.goodreads.com/book/show/24... #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat, last time I got an idea from these was when @chaoticauthor.online expressed disdain for all clown horror being about murderers. Now I have pirates and a time loop to play with. This was a delight. ^.^ As for the sharing, I has books: books2read.com/ap/nk3EBb/Am...

Thanks Eryn, and sorry for being late! Having talked about MR James and what we'd write together I think it's only fair I share a link to a collection we might well have written together... in spirit #HorrorWritersChat

Thank you Eryn, fun as always Here's a link to me works, and though this review is from one book, I think it can relate to all my work thus far It's good stuff! Give it a go and feed my ego But not my id My id has shit for brains #horror #scifi www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...

Awesome questions, Eryn! We've talked historical horror a lot tonight, and I've mentioned M.R. James and Charles Dickens. These titles are inspired by these great ghost story writers. bsky.app/profile/chao...

Thank you, Eryn! 🖤 I would like to tell everyone about the latest release from @gravesidepress.bsky.social What Lurks is a cryptid horror anthology featuring 29 stories + art! My story is about el Chupacabra. #HorrorWritersChat graveside-press.com/product/what...

Hi, I'm Stephanie Ellis, Wrexham-based writer of the dark stuff, esp. folk horror, gothic, post-apocalyptic/sci-fi, historical (with a swerve into cosy crime 😅). Not sure of a doppelganger, perhaps Mary Shelley: gothic, scifi, dystopian - I'll take that! #HorrorWritersChat

Komiði sæl, öllsömul! I'm from Iceland and I believe Charlotte Perkins Gilman is my doppelganger 💛 #HorrorWritersChat

Q 1: #HorrorWritersChat J.D. Buffington here, surviving in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Recently I was compared to Kurt Vonnegut! 🥹 But from what I hear most, in complimentary tones, I have my own voice. I take as much pleasure from that as being compared to a master.

*Runs in late with stewed fruit and a mostly-completed novella in verse* Hi, I'm Hadassah! I grew up in the UK, and I'm honestly not sure which historical writer would be my doppleganger! I take a lot of inspiration from Bram Stoker and Lewis Carroll?? #HorrorWritersChat

#horrorwriterschat I sometimes forget to do these 🫠 Hello, I go by too many names right now, but Molk is fine. I like to write horror in multiple subgenres, but I'm currently working on things in supernatural and scifi. I'm a GM for horror ttrpgs. I've also written some short stories on reddit.

Into the #HorrorWritersChat Originally from West Texas, but now in Alabama. I once was offered a flattering comparison to Oscar Wilde, and I'll take that.

Hello! I'm MJR, from lots of places in California, including Richmond, El Cerrito, Oakland, Berkeley, and Chico. I don't know who my literary doppelganger is. Maybe Arthur Machen if he read too much Nietzsche and wrote death metal lyrics. #horrorwriterschat

Hey no historical doppleganger at this time - would love to know of some gobliny weird writers you'd compare me to #HorrorWritersChat

Evening #HorrorWritersChat! I'm a bit late, but I'm Lawrence (she/her) in London, and I am basically MR James (also a nerdy medievalist theologian who likes doing nasty things to Victorian men who should know better)

I'm Jack, I dabble in ghost stories (about which I am a passionate perfectionist) and my doppelganger (to be immensely presumptuous) is M.R. James. #HorrorWritersChat

Hello! I'm from the west coast of Canada where the mountains meet the sea. I think I most resemble Angela Carter in feature blended with Clive Barker in style. #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat I'm Trish Wilson. I'm originally from Baltimore, MD but I now live on the Mass. coast. I feel a bit like "monkey see monkey do" since lots have mentioned Poe. He and Stephen King are my doppelgängers. I've been to Poe's house and grave. King is my New England influence.

Given how simple concept the titles to his work seemed to be (Rats, Haunted, The Fog etc) I'd let James Herbert decide the topic and then I'd just throw some characters at his title and see what unfolded. #HorrorWritersChat

I'd focus on the opening to The Time Machine probably; that idea of the man obsessively trying to go back in time to save someone doomed to die, and follow the descent into madness that would surely lead him to. #HorrorWritersChat

Posted Victorian era as my fave & have a fantasy WIP set then, but immediately remembered how much I bloody love witches. And although it's well trodden ground, something just set in that period, with that hysteria as background flavour, could be really interesting to toy with #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat Question 1: I'm from the American South. I'm not sure my doppelganger, and I hate to put myself in the same category as better known writers, but I'd say my style has some similarities to King or Lovecraft.

So hi #HorrorWritersChat I be Eryn, I write mainly psychological horror and I live in Germany. My historical doppelganger would be Plath: because we are both obsessed with existential dread and the inevitability of decay :D

Hello, #HorrorWritersChat! I write fiction as Mark Guyer and nonfiction as Dustin Pinney (my actual name), and I flatter myself by saying that John Bellairs is my doppelgänger. I’m sure we don’t look alike. He’s better than me. But I wanted to pick someone on the obscurish side.

Hello gang! I'm Katherine Silva, "Kat" for short and I write all that is spooky and sad (grief/existential horror). I'm gonna throw Algernon Blackwood in here as my spiritual doppleganger. Loner, outdoors lover,writer of ghosties and questions of existentialism. #horrorwriterschat

Hellooo #HorrorWritersChat! It's me, Mitch Miller, horror writer of the folk, sci-fi, and weird kind. 🤘🏽 Traded one majesty—the Atlantic Ocean—for another—the Rocky Mountains, but I love (fear) them both dearly. Historical doppelgager? Shout-out to Byron. I, too, am annoying as fuck.

Hello, #HorrorWritersChat, I am determined not to miss ya. I am from the land of the Mouse, eldritch abomination and eater of neighborhoods (California). I'm not sure on the doppelganger but if I keep missing sleep I might look like Edgar Allan Poe here soon.

Greetings #HorrorWritersChat I'm Mary from Greater Manchester (UK). How is it that I've just been reading DOPPELGANGER by Naomi Klein and this question pops up?! My historical writer doppelganger had all her work destroyed, so we'll never know her name...one of many.

I'm here! I have no equal or twin or doppelgänger although I have aspirations. I'm a weirdo from the edge of a frog pond in Connecticut. #horrorwriterschat

Hi all, I'm Louise, writing away in a small town in South East England. I can't think of any historical writers I'd be that similar to. Maybe Mary Shelley, just for one particular trilogy (it's dark and the characters experience a lot of tragedy) #HorrorWritersChat

Hello, I'm from Liverpool and my historical doppelganger is Robert Louis Stevenson. This similarity was earned thanks to the speed at which I write and publish. #horrorwriterschat

I’m Clover, and I’m from Delaware! I don’t know if any historical writer looks like me because I have a very unfortunately unique face. 😂 I have a friend who looks just like Oscar Wilde, though! #HorrorWritersChat

Hello #HorrorWritersChat. I'm Tom Coombe from Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley. I don't write young adult stuff and physically I don't think we resemble each other, but I aspire to be John Bellairs (my entry point into horror) and write stories that were basically "What if you found a weird thing?"

THE MOON IS BATHING US WITH ITS GLOW ONCE AGAIN! Hello! I'm Gree, writer of body, psychological, and religious horror for my Bloodied Rose: Verses of Midnight setting! My doppelganger would absolutely be Shirley Jackson. Her social anxiety horror is impeccable. #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat Q1: Hello, I'm Jacob Marsh, and I write horror and supernatural thrillers. Lots of terrible dead guys to choose, but at least with writing, I think like Floubert: "Be settled in your life and as ordinary as the bourgeois, in order to be violent and original in your work."

I'm Nick, I live in a shack, somewhere north of Kilburn station and I'm the spitting image of John Polidori #HorrorWritersChat
