Narrator @charlottechiewvo.bsky.social has a sweet teen sports romance Swimming Upstream in here, which I really enjoyed. More self-servingly, her rendition of Beware Cheap Houses, one of my Shadow Hill stories is also in the list in the Spotify specials section. Can't wait to check out the others!

#HorrorWritersChat My LGBTQIA+ contemporary dark fantasy, Lemon Balm, is now available in audiobook form on Audible! Narrated by me and my husband. I'm still waiting for it to be approved in other places, but if Amazon's not a dealbreaker, check it out here! www.amazon.com/Audible-Lemo...

#HorrorWritersChat Oh yeah, we're also looking for more people to become creators in our publication, so if you want to be part of it, let us know. open.substack.com/pub/shadowbo...

I have a collection of short stories called Disquietous based on nightmares I've had, I was super excited to hear this week's theme! The bookends are waking life inventions though. #HorrorWritersChat

Hello #HorrorWritersChat- I'm Victor Bell, an eclectic writer with a love for horror and horror themes. My work is often both existential and body horror related, or exploring monsters and natural horror.

Oh this was so fun. Thanks so much for hosting #HorrorWritersChat, Gree! It’s Aro Week, so here’s an aroace horror of mine published on @azejournal.bsky.social! 🖤🤍💚 “I Won’t Say I’m in Love Cuz It’s True is” a satire of amatonormativity, Enchanted X Black Mirror. azejournal.com/article/2024...

Ghosts, monsters in the spooky woods, and old-school vampires for your delectation and delight, #HorrorWritersChat! Grab em from your local indie or wherever you like to buy books!

#HorrorWritersChat No new horror today. Enjoy a sneak peek at the cover for my Gothic romance, which (G-d willing and the creek don't rise), I'll have ready for release October 2026. In the meantime, check out my already published horror here: dangerouswhenbored.com/collections/...

Amanda M. Blake, purveyor of dark fiction, from quiet to extreme. The scariest dream: I climbed onto my mother's lap for her to read to me in the rocking chair. A storm rained sandy acid that dissolved everything around us, all the way to a bottomless hole where I fell forever. #HorrorWritersChat

"See? That wasn't so hard, was it?" The voice is gentle, almost kindly, a mockery of love. I am too tired to fight, but this is a tactical retreat, not an unconditional surrender. The voice will underestimate me eventually, and that will be its undoing. #HorrorWritersChat

I do have a thing for hidden spaces: secret passages, tunnels, buried and abandoned sites. Some things are more dangerous to forget than others. #HorrorWritersChat

So far, at least, most of my horror takes place in more mundane settings--suburban neighborhoods, schools, cars, the woods, parks, etc. My next novel-length one is a Gothic set in an abandoned mansion, though :-) #HorrorWritersChat

Hi #HorrorWritersChat I'm Samantha, a multigenre writer whose horror ranges from "that was spoopy" to "OMG, are you all right?" The dreams that scare me most are the realistic ones, like car accidents on a bridge or losing my child in a crowded place. I much prefer the monster dreams.

I had this idea a while back, and the only way to see if it works is to try it. The idea is monthly mini-sales on a theme, like a book bundle, except that readers can browse and pick what interests them. The biggest obstacle is my small reach, so share this around! sheilajenne.com/2026/02/11/i...

I might be old-fashioned, but it made me very happy to see this little feature about my upcoming book in my hometown newspaper. Especially fun because my next book is set in that very same hometown. I wonder if the people who knew me back then actually know that I made good on "being a writer."

I've had a little too much social time this weekend, and this photo of my kiddo when they were 3 or so is a very accurate representation of how I feel right now. (We used to call this look: THE FOREHEAD) How are y'all doing?

Seeking NetGalley readers for Acid Reign, a GenX romance where a punk rock princess and a politician find unexpected spark. Check it out! www.netgalley.com/catalog/book...

Looky what I got! My cover artist sent me the final for Ready or Not last night--the third of the three GenX romances I'm releasing this spring. Love how Roscoe cannot be contained and is running from the front cover to the back and his head disrupts the placement of the blurb words. Perfect!

Thanks, @erynmccee.bsky.social! Amazing questions! Latest: CHILDREN OF SOLITUDE, queer Appalachian cosmic horror about a prickly queen, his dead mother, and the porn star next door. Next: THE COME BACK KIDS, about a lapsed Cthulhu cultist, his new boyfriend, and evil children. #HorrorWritersChat

Oops, here's the correct link: bookshop.org/lists/books-... #HorrorWritersChat

I'm Michael, I write queer cosmic & supernatural horror. Every queer person has had to overcome long odds in a world filled with remote, hostile forces and their human agents among us. We need stories about surviving them and about being stronger for it. #HorrorWritersChat

Thanks, Eryn! I'll promo this interview I conducted with the terrific @ivygrimes.bsky.social : frolicpress.substack.com/p/in-convers... I also have a new collection. Kindle is here: www.amazon.com/dp/B0GM9FDSKW Paperback is out April 21. (It's better in print!) #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat Cheers Eryn! My aforementioned story Vinegar and Brown Paper will be appearing very soon in the next volume in the BHF Book of Horror Stories series. Here’s the draft cover. Oh, and here’s me according to Chat PG Tips.

I’m doing a small campaign for my eco-horror “Monoculture” for the Locus Awards! Check out the links in the alt text of the image. :) Also, try the #QueerWritersChat on Friday! Not horror, but I have my fantasy novel Mage By Blood on Royal Road: www.royalroad.com/fiction/1453 #HorrorWritersChat

Those were some lovely questions, #HorrorWritersChat and I'm glad I made it this time! I'll share the things, as requested. >.> My first novel is out, it is a horror fantasy about hungry shadows, monsters, trauma and monsters with trauma. You can find it many places: books2read.com/b/WealdandWen

Thanks for another great chat! I just wanted to let you all know that Little White Flowers is now available in ebook on Bookshop, and Hallowed Deadly Seeds is available for pre-order there. (Link is an affiliate link and has all formats.) bookshop.org/lists/books-... #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat I'm currently working on a Lovecraftian short story collection, set in America in various time periods, with an entity called the Sleepwalker involved in each. Here's my Cthulhu Mythos noir short story to tide you over till it's out: ko-fi.com/s/8cd164bf0a payhip.com/b/JP4Q0

Here's a free one for you today: "The Mind Plays Tricks" with Dark Recesses Press. darkrecessespress.com/2022/04/27/t... The story was reprinted as part of my Shadow Hill collection (lucky number 13), so if you like it, consider trying the rest: books2read.com/ShadowHill #HorrorWritersChat

I'm cheating a little…I didn't write this today. But it does seem to fit. #HorrorWritersChat

So I am delayed, even as the host: I had to read to 8 and then to 11! Thank goodness for the new draft posts that I set up earlier on. So, hi, I'm Eryn, and I mostly write supernatural and psychological horror. I like to look at the edges of wrongness. #HorrorwritersChat

I have been known to put aside a piece of work when it starts to feel too real. For example, I set aside my dystopian novel when my country started to feel like one. I need a little distance between myself and the topic. #HorrorWritersChat

Vengeance comes up again and again in my work--and it rarely ends well for anyone. When a theme rises repeatedly in my stories, I know it's something I'm pondering at a deep level and haven't come to a proper conclusions about yet. I suspect that's the case here too. #HorrorWritersChat

I'm Samantha Bryant, multigenre author whose horror ranges from merely eerie to kind of disgusting. Of all the writing I do, horror is the most directly cathartic, letting me process my anger and fears and turn them into art. #HorrorWritersChat

¡Muchísimas gracias por ésta lista, Pedro! And hello new followers! May I interest you in my recent short story full of very complicated diaspora feelings towards Puerto Rican nostalgia? www.typebarmagazine.com/blanquitos/

Going Indie: Month One I'm going to be documenting my road to becoming my own publisher, with real numbers and reasoning for the decisions I make. You can follow the journey on Substack (free). open.substack.com/pub/samantha...

Thanks as always, Mary! writesinister.substack.com is where you can find most of my stuff! #horrorwriterschat

I'm skipping the last question because I'm going thru my own health stuff and it's too real rn. My link to buy my book is currently down but if you just follow me on here I'll post when it's back up. Just having issues with Ingram. I also have a discord! discord.gg/gc5rYvjXhu #HorrorWritersChat

It's World Cancer Day. I’m highlighting Macmillan Cancer Support and the fundraiser for our dearly departed Matt 🕯️🤍 who we lost to cancer last year. Matt started #HorrorWritersChat which has grown into our dear community. Please also check out his books under MG Mason @chaoticauthor.online

Nothing new since last week, but if you haven't checked it out yet, you can get a mini-audio book of "Beware Cheap Houses," one of my Shadow Hill stories on several services now: books2read.com/BewareCheapH... (If you use Spotify, hit me up for a free code for a review copy) #HorrorWritersChat

Luisa: What are you doing here? I kicked you out years ago. C: I never really left. Luisa: (leaping onto his back, wrapping her arm around his neck) This time I'm taking you with me. #HorrorWritersChat #F*ckCancer

*looks at messy office* "Oh, no..." #Horrorwriterschat

In "The Mind Plays Tricks" one of my Shadow Hill stories, Luisa is an older woman experiencing cognitive decline, which makes her secondguess everything she is experiencing and have trouble determining what is and isn't real. #HorrorWritersChat

For me, atmosphere is EVERYTHING. What a person displays, what they hide, what they are compulsive about, it all shows up in a well lived-in and well-described space. It reveals character in a subtle way that dialogue can't. #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat My characters frequently ‘wear’ their interiors. They are almost furniture within the spaces.

A home and the objects inside it can definitely reveal things about characters--both what they want you to know and what they've accidentally left observable. The little detail that seems merely odd can turn out to be the closest thing to a warning you were going to get. #HorrorWritersChat

I'm Samantha Bryant, a multigenre author whose horror varies from mildly spooky to gory, sometimes intermixed with humor. The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson is a favorite "house horror" story, and more recently I LOVED Children of Solitude by @mcmanlypants.bsky.social #HorrorWritersChat

Y'all! I got the first preview files from Maggie Weber last night, you know: Refashioned Hippy? She's narrating my audiobook and holy cow is she good! That woman has a voice like butter. #audiobooks #GenXromance #NotTooLate

Hey there #NetGalley readers! Acid Reign, the second of my GenX romances is available for the month of February. If you like romance and would like to see some with characters over 50, I hope you'll check out my punk princess/politician story! www.netgalley.com/catalog/book...
