Finished listening to the audio book of this tonight by @stephellis.bsky.social This really got under my skin. Might require a second listen.

#HorrorWritersChat There is going to be a release party/reading at the Lizzie Borden House in Fall River, MA, Sun Nov 9. Yes, THAT Lizzie Borden. Tours available. You bet I'll be there reading from my story!

My chisel cracks the seal open. Only then, did I understand the folly of my curiosity. It’s not the incubus’s fault, I just don’t think this roleplay works for me. I guess it was all a waste of time, and time is the only thing we’ve got. Now, I wonder if I can get my soul back… #HorrorWritersChat

The Haunting of Wounded Birds is out in 6 days, but tonight I'll point you towards the man who started #HorrorWritersChat, Matt @chaoticauthor.online Visit his profile and buy a book because we wouldn't be here without him!

Thanks for a fun one, Gree! I have the rights for my haunted house novel back, with art by a human, Lane Faglie, and blurbs from cool people like Clay McLeod Chapman and Kev Harrison! Over a century, five eras pry at the unknowable in a haunted house where no one has died. #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat I have a short story available on itch and currently hosting an art raffle for my followers 😊 gabriel-yuriria.itch.io/all-things-b... bsky.app/profile/gabr...

#HorrorWritersChat My chisel cracks the seal open. Only then, did I understand the folly of my curiosity for I see the land of the Book of Face again and I see its hate and its bile and its putrid lies dragging us to the edge of oblivion. Still, at least it’s not X.

Thank you for hosting #horrorwriterschat! Two collections available now- 13 horror tales in each Next Door and Revolve. Available all the places or direct from me, donating book proceeds from my shop to my local food bank because no kid should be hungry. linktr.ee/kdbwrites

Thanks Gree. My cosmic eco-horror novella packs a lot of unpleasant truths, mostly about one family, into a slim volume. Also, eldritch insects. #HorrorWritersChat payhip.com/b/58paC

#HorrorWritersChat Thanks for hosting Gree! Sorry my darkness came out again. I have been plugging my book The Assassins Raven so much, I sometimes forget my short stories. This one A Good Day for Violence is in Dark Descent Vol 14 magazine, it matches the discussion today.

Thank you for tonight's admittance! Recent folk horror release Harrowfield is available to read on KU (but won't be forever!) & can be bought here mybook.to/Harrowfield Harrowfield has secrets & a Terrible Truth but whether it's what people want to hear is another thing. #HorrorWritersChat

Hi y'all! I'm a Texas based author that writes horror, speculative fiction, and sci-fi. Often with historical settings & inspired by my Choctaw-Irish heritage. I'm still searching for my terrible seal of truth. #HorrorWritersChat

Ok I thought of another answer for this... The Terrible Truth is the solipsism paradox. If you think you are the only real person in the world, you are. Which means you are the only real person to yourself, and an echo of a person to everyone around you, at the same time. #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat My chisel cracks the seal open. Only then, did I understand the folly of my curiosity. A burning light burst forth that, while did not blind me, did take my vision away from this reality. Instead my eyes were transported to another place, made of alien hues and shapes.

From the ether emerges the long furby, chattering terrible titan of infinite despair. calling us to dance. So we dance, madly, and the abomination winds through the sky, leaving fire, brimstone, and batteries like meteorites in its apocalyptic wake. #HorrorWritersChat

"My chisel cracks the seal open. Only then, did I understand the folly of my curiosity. For the human mind cannot grasp that we are only shadows waiting for a corporeal form to claim us." #HorrorWritersChat

"My chisel cracks the seal open. Only then, did I understand the folly of my curiosity. Colours that taste like oil on my skin. Stars that set my eyes ablaze, their lavender crawling into my brain. My heart, one with the void, growing wings and flying away, never looking back." #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat Q4: As the scroll unfurled, I could feel it, like the cold satisfaction of a rival. Some permeating, undeniable pain. Scanning the cyclopean symbols, a second horrible realization: Not only was the pain growing, but the source was not the scroll. It emanated from behind my eyes.

The seal does not look like a seal. It looks like anything else, not esoteric or mysterious. Like an old sock or a piece of Tupperware. Not scary at all. It is on the top shelf in a box with similar things, some of which are also Seals. #horrorwriterschat

#HorrorWritersChat I gazed upon The Adversary. It was exactly and precisely a man. He was like me, but just different enough that I understood why I was supposed to hate him.

#HorrorWritersChat Hello! I’m Gary Kruse, and I write supernatural mysteries, dark thrillers and tales of witches, vampires, ghosts and my Terrible yet bleeding obvious Truth; that humans are the biggest monsters of all…

Electric is the shock which opens the universe to my previously limited sight. A shock too much for my heart which fails & I plunge into a darkness, a void, where those who went before me walk & bewail their fate. The chant 'If only ...' goes round and round, & soon I, too, howl. #HorrorWritersChat

I think Douglas Adams nailed it ... www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZLt... #HorrorWritersChat

If a seal is meant to be opened, but only at the right time and never before, it must be innocuous but also inconsequential, easily accessible but hidden enough to be out of sight, out of mind. It is clearly a VHS tape in storage, waiting for a working VCR. #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat Greetings all, I am a writer of gothic horror where the beautiful and the macabre entertwine, my seal is a black mirror, all may gaze into it to find the terrible truth but not many dare, for to do so they must confront their own reflection

#HorrorWritersChat Thr seal is in the most horrifying and dangerous place, within ourselves, in the depths of our souls

I'm Marley, writing about werewolves and queer resistance to rampaging capitalism—I very much enjoyed the events of last night, including but not limited to the full moon. If we have a Terrible Seal, it's probably a doll left by the late previous owner of our house. #HorrorWritersChat

My ideal seal would be pure illusion. A lovely apple tree orchard, from which the finest apples grow. No-one would suspect that the roots hold a Terrible Truth that would pry Human consciousness itself out of fellow Human beings. #HorrorWritersChat

Deep within a story. At the least expected moment during the climax, something horrifying is divulged that changes how you look at the story. At the characters. At the world! #HorrorWritersChat

Greetings, Doctor! Have you met my associate Dr. Killpeople? #HorrorWritersChat I'm Johnny and I hold know about the monsters inside otherwise kind humans.

#HorrorWritersChat Q2: I don't know about ideal, but my favorite is the classic forbidden book. One of my few life goals is to have a proper library-style study in my home, so I can showcase and study my haunted books and objects. If I ever go missing, I died the way I lived. Reading weird shit.

I would go for the blindingly obvious ☠️and bury it in a chemical waste dump. Nobody would go near it then. Unless they were prime examples of 'petulant stupidity' as per @chaoticauthor.online description. Oh dear, perhaps I should think of somewhere else ... #HorrorWritersChat

Hi, I'm Anna. I write cosmic and eco-horror, mostly. Not sure I've got a grand and terrible truth to reveal to humanity. But nature and the cosmos have no grudge, no great revenge to enact on us. We're not even significant enough to be cogs in those incomprehensible machines. #HorrorWritersChat

Good afternoon, Doctor. I love what you've done with the place. I'm a multi-genre author, always trying new forms, styles, themes, and subgenres. I regret to inform you I no longer have such a seal--I broke it years ago and set my Terrible Truths free to prey on humankind. #HorrorWritersChat

Greetings #HorrorWritersChat What a treat to be here together with Dr Bedlam! Mary, writer of cosmic, gothic and weird horror at your service. My Seal has been handed down to the eldest daughter in each generation. Its meaning? Unknown. But none dare break the seal and be named a Disappointment

#HorrorWritersChat - I'm Trish Wilson, Media Director for The Horror Zine. I write quiet horror and horror comedy. The seal containing my Terrible Truth is carved into a sigil I wear around my neck. If I don't wear that sigil, I go mad. Either that, or I sing "Prayer For The Dying" terribly offkey.

Hey #HorrorWritersChat, I write grim horror tragedies and horror-coms, but also dabble in dark fantasy / sci-fi. I don’t get the “seal” thing, but I do own a meteorite shard made of an unknown element, and the thing is, it’s started… well, humming… and I’d swear I can hear a whisper under the hum…

#HorrorWritersChat Hello! I'm Artemis Quinn, and I write dark fantasy and paranormal horror. My seal is one that is seemingly made of wax, but if you touch it, it drains your blood to reveal horrors beyond your comprehension. It also seems to react to whiskey.

#HorrorWritersChat Q1: Hello, my name is Jacob, and I write horror and supernatural thrillers. I've just gotten back home after an unexpected trip, so the foulest and most dangerous seal would be the door to my fridge. I know something terrible has gone off by now...and I'm too afraid to look!
