Busy day at work because I have to leave early for Winnie’s appointment but I just wanted to share my latest entry in my “One-and-Done” Slashers Series that celebrates TRAGEDY GIRLS: from-the-desk-of-the-horror-chick.ghost.io/one-and-done... Hashtag blessed, y’all. 🖤

A (sadly) evergreen thread.

John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry began on this day in 1859.

People are spontaneously posting up near any laborers or street vendors they spot. Just saw a rapid responder guarding a man working on a building exterior. Many things are terrible today but lord, this stuff matters.

Hey, a reminder that I’m looking for work. I’m an award winning writer and editor serving the community. My book Thyme Travellers: An Anthology of Palestinian Speculative Fiction just won an Ignyte award! I’m looking for clients, and would love to work in narrative games. Get in touch with me!

Went to the theater to see this with my mom and grandma. ❤️

I'm so proud of everyone from my old neighborhood of Rogers Park in Chicago. I see what you have been and are doing. I am so proud of how organized the community is and how much more so everyone is becoming. It is inspiring. Just one example... And this is something EVERYONE can do. Everyone.

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

Next up on 31 Days of Spooky Books, it's a short story collection from @manylittlewords.bsky.social! #horrorsky #scarystories open.substack.com/pub/stephani...

this is what it takes. we're here now folks, there is not a "if the nazis came" it's "they're here and your mettle will be tested now"

October Spooky Reads: It Was Her House First by @cheriepriest.com I maintain Cherie is at her best when she is writing about hauntings, and here she interweaves past and present to deliver a ghost story with a delightful ending. It's almost cozy creepy? Is that a genre? A+ pacing & characters.

They know they are ridiculous people and the thing they hate most is being laughed at. They want everyone terrified and intimidated by how MANLY and LETHAL they are, not laughing because they got got by a grating frog.

With alt-text: Get him, Ms Rachel. School his butt.

It is Clive Barkers birthday today. And to celebrate we have a massive deep dive into the importance of Weaveworld coming your way on Tuesday

Since I’m talking about horror, and it’s many audience, I’m going to pimp this piece. It’s about the research into why people are attracted to horror, and what I see in the research is ppl looking for a new, better relationship to fear. Free to all. www.patreon.com/posts/136768...

It's 1925. I'm leanin' against this lamppost on the lookout for dames who are lookin for trouble. I start flipping a quarter. I catch her eye. I fumble the quarter and it rolls into a sewer grate. I have lost the equivalent of thirty thousand dollars.

I enjoy a well-thought-out, rule-based magic system in fiction as much as anyone, BUT I also think that we should give more props to what Terry Pratchett did in the Discworld books, where it was less about rules and more about vibes and, more importantly, what fit a given story the best. 🧵
