Just jumping here 1st as big announcement for #HorrorWritersChat - in honour of MG Mason, we're putting together a charity anthology. Think of it as Are You Afraid of the Dark for grown ups; sleep paralysis demons, invisible illness, aging etc. My DMs are open for anyone interested to learn more

Please check out the work of the one who literally made #HorrorWritersChat a reality - @chaoticauthor.online

Thank you for hosting! 🙌 I’ll showcase my Backrooms-inspired labyrinth creature horror that I mentioned in the food question. Basement Floor 2 features a mechanic who takes a long elevator ride down to a dark maze of a basement with a wolf-like monster stalking him. Some space-bending happening.

Thank you! xx My first collection, now playing. Read it and watch movies come to life! Like Creepshow? Tales From The Crypt? Well, movie times vary but you can catch it here: mybook.to/AllsWell

Thanks for a fun one, Mary! I talked about this one being filmic and filling your concession needs, may I offer it up as a potential gift for the holidays—for you or someone else, or both! A haunted house where no one has died and finding silver linings in disaster. #HorrorWritersChat

Thank you for the epic questions! This month I have a story appearing in Suspended Magazine - a literary mag of prose, poetry, & pieces of art! It's published by @jaymone.bsky.social & is one of my favorite magazines out there in indie spaces: www.lulu.com/shop/jadae-s...

Thanks for hosting #HorrorWritersChat, Mary. As for me, what I have to promote is my latest story for The #ShadowBoxArchives about someone having to deal with the TSA over Thanksgiving break. If anyone wants to read it now, become a paying member of five dollars or above. For the rest of you, wait

So this is 46🎉🎂 Like all indie authors, if you want to help me celebrate, pick up one of my books, review one, tell a friend about one, "accidentally" add a thousand copies of one to your company's stationery order. It all helps! 🔥🔥🔥

Just finished ARC reading this lovely tale-- I'll be leaving a proper review tonight; for now I highly recommend getting a preorder in. It'd be a couple of pounds very well spent! #WritingCommunity

Witch in the Lighthouse is a warm cup of tea full of magic, grief, friendship, and forgiveness. A Ghibli-esque tale sure to delight. #novella books2read.com/wil azaleaforrest.itch.i...#novella💙📚 #books #magic #writing #author

Can't make #HorrorWritersChat tonight but have fun everyone!

Now [re-]reading: MG Mason @chaoticauthor.online: The Residents of James Hotel Read it already [twice] and know it's good. Never wrote a review bc life, AuDHD burnout and scatter brain. Time to repeat the experience. A worthy candidate for review #100. -- #AmReading 👀📚💙📚😱 #KindleUnlimited 🩸📚📢

Never give up. Somewhere in the world, there's a haunted manor house on the moors with a mysterious caretaker, indifferent cats, and secret libraries within libraries, waiting for you in the darkness.

I have 20 copies left of werewolf handled versions (scuffed/damaged covers) of The Howling Howff and then this version will be out of print for good. 🐺🥳 If you'd like to pick up a copy then please do so here ko-fi.com/s/2747635f7a Plans for future versions are below ⬇️

Happy Release Day to @beverleylee.bsky.social and her latest book, The Haunting of Wounded Birds! "Beverley Lee's work makes you feel like you're wrapped in light and smothered in shadow with every sentence. A truly beautiful read." Go grab your copy today: beverleylee.com/the-haunting...

JUST TWO AWAY!!! I'm so, so close to selling 100 KDP copies of my dragon short story this year! LET'S FREAKING GOOOOO ;) If you fancy a short story with dragons, knights and revenge, check it out! Only 99c! Any reposts to help me get there would also be most fabulousssss.

Just finished this and it is DARK 😱🕷 Daniel really is a huge horror talent so if you haven't checked out his work yet, go for it-- just be sure to leave the lights on #WritingCommunity

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️If you are feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders lost and alone ... read The Midnight Bookshop. The Midnight Bookshop is waiting for you this #weekend ... if you can find it. 😉📖 mybook.to/O1A7E #writingcommunity #booksky #bookshop #magic #reading

Morning all. While my body is struggling to do a lot of basic tasks, my mind isn't. Today is a day for All Quiet on the Terraces b3t@ edits, finalising and uploading the final manuscript, then sending out ARCs to those who already requested one. Let me know if you'd like one too (read blurb)

So, if you've looked at my patreon, you may have noticed the bulk of it is a 75,000+ word novel. And though it's free to read, that can be intimidating. So perhaps try my short story: Hunted in the Wolf Wood and see if my style is to your liking. www.patreon.com/collection/8...

It's gifting season again- consider commissioning an artist, or get prints or sculpture or pottery or stickers or comics or anything cool artists make and sell. This year has been SO rough on folks who do art- and I see so many amazing artists not making ends meet on the timeline.

Just a shout out to @greethewriter.bsky.social to say again how great last night's #HorrorWritersChat was. Stupendous hosting

Donations to food banks go a really long way!

Thanks for hosting, Gree! Lemon Balm released last week, a contemporary dark fantasy featuring nonbinary, ace-spec leads. If vampires, witches, werewolves, and two pansexual disasters fighting an unjust government sounds like a good time, check it out! www.vampireantihero.com/the-night-ga...

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

#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.

#HorrorWritersChat Humanity needs hope to survive, so the Terrible Truth that must be kept from it is ¤▪︎¤《•¡▪︎¤¤°○•《》《》¤▪︎¤¤■☆~ But that is nothing compared to the knowledge that lies beyond that basic premise, which is but the doorway to the unimaginable horrors beyond

#HorrorWritersChat Ah, we should never hide from Terrible Truths. Hiding just makes them worse. We have to face those truths, confront them and rise above. That’s what horror is all about to me. Facing the darkness in story form to deal with the hell that is reality.

I'd say it looks ordinary, like a sticker of a cartoon flower. Something you could walk by without a second thought, because so often, the terrible truths are right there in front of our eyes. We just aren't attuned to see them or aren't willing to see them. #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat My ideal Seal to contain a Terrible Truth? 🤔 I would make an incantation . . . Out of my books Because then there's no way that Terrible Truth would cause harm to anyone since no bugger's ever gonna read them!

It's made of a substance foreign to our reality that exists in a kind of meta-state pocket dimension that flickers with indescribable colors. Opening it requires the worthy to enter this pocket dimension without losing their sanity. #horrorwriterschat

#HorrorWritersChat An ideal seal looks mundane. You may miss it, looking for something flashy or performative. But the most terrible of truths are subversive, and hiding in plain sight. The worst thing about it, is you probably look at it hundreds of times a day, not seeing it for what it is.

#HorrorWritersChat A sign reading "The seal before you contains a primordial evil that will either destroy or subjugate all of existence upon being released. Therefore, it is strongly advised that you do not interact with it in any manner". Short of this, well, that's what automatic turrets are for.

#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.

It appears as something simple, something everyday, a bent paperclip in a drawer, a dust bunny under the bed...until the day you catch a hint of the uncanny and you know you're looking at something *more* #HorrorWritersChat

Nobody can't describe it because it won't let you look at it. It shimmers, it changes out of the corner of your eye. It wraps itself in darkness and beats like a heart, and all you hear in your head is: ‘hold me.’ But it doesn't matter what you do, because you're already lost #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat The ideal seal is one that is cast in the finest bronze, bearing a sigil that causes a dull pain the skull of those who see it. It is shapeless and yet perfectly formed, & exists deep within the bowels of this existence we call Earth. The size of the aperture it holds is unknown.

The best hiding places are often in plain sight, wouldn't you agree? And Terrible Truths are often just beneath the surface of very ordinary things, like a tea cup, or between the covers of a book. Oh, don't mind him. That's "just" my dog. #HorrorWritersChat
