It’s Emi from The Nightmare That Devours. This novel took a long time to develop with so many versions. I adore Emi and her oddball friends. I’ve been having a hard time admitting this book is done. And she’s here to let me know she’s ready for the querying trenches and more. #HorrorWritersChat

Hi hi! I’m Allison, and I write weird, speculative, queer, neurodivergent horror. My perfect writing space is full of bookshelves, books, a wood-burning fireplace, nice thick rug, at least one cat, fountain pens, and rain is tapping on the window... #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat I am Tristan Zelden. I write a variety of horror, but monsters are my favorite. My dream writing room is a gothic home library. Give me gothic aesthetics and a room that is filled wall to wall with books.

#HorrorWritersChat I'm Anna and I write cozy Fantasy/Horror and sci-fi Horror. My ideal would be at a beach, a box window seat to sit in and look at the waves, a nice cozy chair facing a fireplace, a table next to me for my hot drinks and food, with some bookshelves of my tbrs behind me.

Hey #HorrorWritersChat, my name is Tiff and I'm pan-horrific. If money were no object, I'd write in a multi-floor Gothic library with floor-to-ceiling stained glass windows and a fireplace that hides a second, much smaller writing space that plays "Little Room" by The White Stripes when I enter.

I'm Miss Bert, I'm SO LATE today, and I'm in my dream room, next to a koi pond and woods with my feets up on the couch and kitties around me. #horrorwriterschat

Late to the party! I'm Katherine Silva, Kat for short and I write sad, existential horror and speculative fiction. My dream writing space would need lots of windows for sunlight or rain ambiance, a comfortable office chair, and a giant wall to stick all of my writing notes to. #horrorwriterschat

Oooh! So for my YA supernatural horror piece, The Nightmare That Devours, here’s my inspiration: 1. Nightmare on Elm Street 2.Japanese legends with Baku, a dream eater and yume no seirei, a yokai that causes nightmares 3. The Babadook 4. Emo music from the early 2000’s #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat I'm late! I forgot it was Wednesday! I'm Artemis Quinn, I lurk in the dark fantasy and paranormal horror and thriller camps. My dream writing room is floor-to-ceiling shelves, and a ornate carved desk.

Top 3 items would be: 1. My notebook 2. My Passion Planner. I like to write down my writing goals in it. 3. Colored pens. Black pens always feels final to me, but if I use a different colored pen, it allows me to explore and write without self doubt. #HorrorWritersChat

Hello, #HorrorWritersChat! I'm Trish Wilson, Media Director for The Horror Zine. I write cozy horror and horror comedy. My dream writing room sits inside an old stone cottage with stained glass windows. My garden has steps leading down to a beach. Gentle rain and ghosts keep me company.

Hello! I'm Gree, writer of body, psychological, and religious horror. My writing room would be spacious and quite old-fashioned. Also a library of books I can grab immediately. Lit only by candles. It would have a large window over-looking a snowed-in forest or garden. #HorrorWritersChat

Hello #HorrorWritersChat, I’m Kimberly, I’ve two published horror collections; my ideal writing room has no physical requirements (truly, I write wherever whenever, never had an office or even a desk). However- said room must provide me an extra 24 hours per day to devote to writing. Q1

Charlie, creature feature horror I guess would be it. I think it would like a place that is a five minute walk from a beach, with a view with the water present, and an expensive Bluetooth speaker in every sparse room. Very minimalist and hidden from people, but not nature. #horrorwriterschat

#HorrorWritersChat Hello you lovely weirdos! It's Michelle Heller, writer of weird and funny nonsense involving body, cosmic, and grief horror. I would say my perfect writing room is just that. I dream of having my own space in my house. Love the man to death but he is distracting. 🤣

Hæ, halló, veriði velkomin #HorrorWritersChat Villimey is my name and I write horror on an island in the middle of fucking nowhere, Iceland. My dream writing room would have an electric desk, a cozy reading nook with the most comfortable armchair when I need a break from writing.

You know, if money were no object I might want to keep writing from our weird old house in the woods —augmented by trips to nearby wolf sanctuaries or other appropriately misty or spooky places. #HorrorWritersChat

I'm Saoirse, I write about sad people doing ugly things, and I've thought about this a lot. It's a room of modest size, the walls painted dark green. I have dark wood bookshelves lining three of the four walls, decorated with taxidermy and terrariums. There's an antique secretary desk in disarray.

Hi, I'm Vivian. I write all types of horror--emphasis on the pulp, camp, and gore, but I dabble in all sorts. I write in my kitchen looking at my backyard, but my ideal space would be a Hobbit hole or a cozy nook in a haunted house surrounded by old books, candles, and cobwebs. #HorrorWriterschat

I’m Clover, and I write horror that takes the cute/mundane and makes it horrifying. I want a Victorian library with a roaring fire and a large writing desk with a typewriter. Also an endless supply of tea and biscuits 😋 #horrorwriterschat

Mark Guyer. I write horror about identity and pop culture and I like to include as many jokes as possible. My ideal writing space looks like a comic book store. Thanks for asking, #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat Hello! I’m Gary Kruse and I write horror of the supernatural/witchy/bitey-bitey vampire variety! My ideal writing room would be a lodge/summerhouse at the bottom of a garden, preferably overlooking a lake. 😎🤙🏻

Hello. I'm J. Neira, slushie for Graveside Press & my niche is cozy horror. My ideal room... I'm not very ambitious. Someplace cozy with an overlook window looking out into the edge of the woods. #HorrorWritersChat

Hello #HorrorWritersChat! I'm Rami Ungar and I write horror and dark fantasy. If I could, I would live in a castle I designed myself, one that has an ancient appearance but modern amenities. And in either a tall tower or a creepy dungeon, I would write at my desk. #HorrorWritersChat

#horrorwriterschat Hi. I’m Ian. I write neon- horror. My dream writing room is very foggy, I have a quill, and the clown in the corner makes eye contact even when I’d rather she not because it’s creepy and I’m trying to write earnestly…

#HorrorWritersChat Q1 Hello, I'm Jacob Marsh, and I write horror and supernatural thrillers. Ideally, I want an office space with loads of shelving (mostly achieved) overlooking a body of water. I write about, and think about water a lot and having inspiration right in front of me would be great.

Hi, Stephanie Ellis, writer of folk horror, gothic, historical & post-apocalyptic My niche would be a very traditional book-lined study. A big desk at one end, wing chairs either side of an open fireplace + small tables more books. Not a huge room though, cosy, homely. #HorrorWritersChat

Hello, I’m Ell! I write ace horror. I love monsters, paranormal, supernatural, folklore. My dream writing room would probably be in a castle tower with candles. Or by the sea. After all, I went to school by the sea, and nothing beats the teacher’s lounge in front of the ocean. #HorrorWritersChat

Hi #HorrorWritersChat! I’m Tashi and though I dabble in different sub-genres, I can’t resist messing with my protagonist (and readers) with psychological horror. As for my ideal room, this one right here!

Hello! I'm Hanna and I write a lot of Gothic Horror and Historical Horror. My ideal writing room would be one of those pretty sheds at the bottom of the garden. Roald Dahl had one and I'd really like one, too. There'd be a little sofa in there too for reading. #horrorwriterschat

Hi everyone…Tom Coombe here, author of various horror stories. My ideal writing room would have a desk and a lot books. Maybe a coffee maker. #horrorwriterschat

Good evening to you all in the #HorrorWritersChat. Daniel Lorn here, writer of psychologically disturbing horror tales with a supernatural edge. My dream writing room would be a high tower in a castle, overlooking the Scottish countryside on a crisp winter's day, with a single malt to keep me warm.

Good evening #HorrorWritersChat! I'm Lawrence, she/her, and I write Jamesian-era chillers with dabblings in religious and folk horror My ideal writing room is minimalist - fewer distractions. A comfy chair, a sofa, a big enough desk for laptop/notebooks/reference books, and a teapot are all I need

Hi, I'm Anna. I tend towards cosmic and eco-horror but have recently veered toward historical. In honesty, what I truly need in a writing room is a sense of burbling activity in the background. So what I'd love is an old-fashioned train compartment with rain lashing the windows. #HorrorWritersChat

Greetings #HorrorWritersChat I’m Mary from Greater Manchester (UK) and I write Gothic, Cosmic & Weird Horror. Welcome to my dream writing room. Take a seat on the leather Chesterfield or one of the chairs. Feel free to peruse the shelves or art. Care for a beverage? A brownie? Take a look…

Hello all at #HorrorWritersChat. It’s Oli Jacobs here, cosmic horror creator. Behind the door is an open plan space, complete with a wall sized window looking out toward the ocean. The walls are lined with shelving filled with films & books (mostly horror). A comfy chair and my laptop await.

#HorrorWritersChat It’s Jez, waving at you from ‘Kitchen Sink Horror’. I don’t have a dream writing room. I’ve written whole theses on commuter trains. I’ve written books in a cafe at 7am. No use aiming for a ‘dream room’. You’ll never achieve it. Accept instead that liminal writing works.

#HorrorWritersChat Hi I'm HD Beird, sexy and weird Current research suggest HD stands for Hammer's Dracula Pfft, I wish 🤯 I write sci-fi themed horror with plenty of fantasy, smut and mystery AKA A right mess But a hot mess! My ideal writing space? 🤔 Somewhere comfy playing trip-hop music

I'm Amber, a horror and dark fiction writer from central Maine. I write all kinds of horror, most with cults or ghosts. My ideal writing room is quiet. (As I say that, my husband starts dinosaur screeching from his corner of the room.) It also includes cozy blankets. #HorrorWritersChat

I don't normally do this, but I've been burning the candle at both ends. Other half had a major op earlier this year and now I'm in hospital for an investigation. Regardless of what's wrong, I need rest, but I've had little work this year. I'd appreciate if anyone is able to help out.

Reptar throwing it back 😂

This week's Martin finale goes out to @chaoticauthor.online. The man needs your help. He's bored, in a hospital, and low on the green. Send him messages and use this link to brighten his day. Without Matt, you'd never get to read my corny jokes. HORROR! ko-fi.com/onechaoticau... #HorrorWritersChat

I don't have lots of experience writing either, because my horror often has sci-fi origins: rogue AI, cosmic parasite, etc. With an occasional human slasher. I DID publish a short fantasy story featuring the fairy Yallery Brown (in The Fables Next Door) so there are exceptions! #HorrorWritersChat

I'm not going to get into the business of ranking ghosts. That's how you call down an eldritch haunting that crosses generations. I love them all equally, like a good mom. #horrorwriterschat

Big, historic houses and haunted prisons are my favorite places to haunt! And hunt. I do a lot of ghost hunting in those sorts of locations. #HorrorWritersChat

Well, I’m always cheering for the vengeful ghost ladies who unleash their wrath upon their slimy husbands/lovers. #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat My favorite ghosts are the tragic figures from both folklore and made up for stories. The ones that can't move on because they're longing for something that stops them from finding closure. The ones that pine, and yearn, and weep upon the crumbling stones of their own pasts.

I adore ghosts of all kinds and all traditions. I find the rich and complex phantasmal eco-system of Japan especially alluring. #HorrorWritersChat

I feel like the best ghost locations are the ones with the most emotional energy. In no particular order: The DMV, day care, and anywhere offering free samples at lunch time. #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat Knowing a few people that are not well at the moment, Hospitals can be weird places, especially at night when you hear nurses walking up and down the corridors creating shadows under the door, stopping outside your room to read your chart, (At least I hope that's who it is).
