This comes extraordinarily close to Death of a Clown as one of my favourites by @catherinemccarthy.bsky.social. Beautiful writing that pulls at your heartstrings.

Kiss me. I taste like chaos and applewood smoke.

So many FIENDs (and TEENAGE GIRLS CAN BE DEMONS by @haileypiperfights.bsky.social) Thank you @sadiehartmann.bsky.social for sharing--an author's dream come true

1/2 Thank you, everyone, for the support yesterday with the release of Harrowfield. As an indie writer it is appreciated. ❤ My quiet folk horror builds around rural traditions, too many of which are lost today. It's an aspect I prefer to champion in my writing, the events driven by the rural

Hi, I'm Stephanie Ellis, writer of dark fiction, especially folk horror, gothic, and post-apocalyptic/sci-fi. And I am now on the slippery slope downhill at 61, (actually it was the slippery stairs this weekend as I took a tumble ... 😅) #HorrorWritersChat PS Sorry I'm a bit late!

I am deliberately making my female MCs older these days. Not necessarily to 'shape' a story, but to show that we exist, to include the things we go through. Society tends to erase us creatively, visibly, socially. You don't realise until you hit that point & you see the prejudice. #HorrorWritersChat

I must have sold some part of my soul for an ALC of The Autumn Springs Retirement Home Massacre by @pfracassi.bsky.social. I never knew I wanted a twilight years final girl, but now that I got one I want more... pretty please...

So many great horror books coming out this spooky season! Tomorrow we'll get @pfracassi.bsky.social's THE AUTUMN SPRINGS RETIREMENT HOME MASSACRE and @michaelwehunt.bsky.social's THE OCTOBER FILM HAUNT! Which new horror releases are YOU excited about?

My interview with @pfracassi.bsky.social on AUTUMN SPRINGS is live on my Chthonica Youtube channel and on Apple Podcasts! And my interview with @michaelwehunt.bsky.social & Nathan Ballingrud will go up this week! youtu.be/1QFBjB9PZHc?...

Hey Bluesky, could you help me spread the word? I have three creatures left at my Big Cartel shop. Each lil guy is designed, hand-sewn, hand-embroidered by me and takes many hours to create. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com

Congrats Giants fans I made a meme in your honor and @ericlarocca.bsky.social passing 20k paper sales

Took a tumble down the stairs today, nothing broken but one foot badly bruised and achey. To cheer myself up, I'm just going to remind folk that publication day for my new folk horror, Harrow Field approaches. Out Oct 1st mybook.to/Harrowfield

#buymybooks THE CHILDREN’S HORROR. Find out why @brianevenson.bsky.social called this themed collection of weird/horror fiction inspired by kids TV as: “startling, unsettling, and revelatory.”

How in the world do some writers get others to add their book to goodreads? Some have many, but I feel like, now that it's actually my turn, I've got maybe 7? Do I smell? 😂 Anyway, I can't force you, but here it is if ya wanna: www.goodreads.com/book/show/23...

Let's up the number!

QAnon — a celebrity’s best friend.

@mothfrenzy.bsky.social and I had a great time chatting with Nick Mamatas about his upcoming anthology 120 MURDERS! We talked about underrated aspects of putting together an anthology, the origin of the project, and yes, joking about Central/Upstate New York 😂 m.youtube.com/watch?fbclid...

Should you desire a dark story in verse, here are 2, co-authored with @mothfrenzy.bsky.social Lilith Rising - a tale of women abused & a woman scorned, a settling of accounts. Mason Gorey takes a campfire slasher, mixes it with Washington Irving to become Friday 13th v Sleepy Hollow. #booksky

❤️ to all the people who read and write horror. I keep meeting people who think it’s cool to hate on it and will never understand that perspective!
