Contract signed. My horror short story 'Albion' will be published in a forthcoming issue of Cosmic Horror Monthly. In this tale, a battle for the soul of a nation plays out at a motorway service station.

It's Tuesday! And despite being still a little off my game from travel, I do have a post. This week we've got @charliehughes77.bsky.social and Kristi DeMeester bringing us some good, good horror stories that made me very pleased howsweetthewords.com/two-fic-tues...

Free to read online, my horror short story 'Window' appears in The Dark Magazine here www.thedarkmagazine.com/window/

Loved this!

Great to hear my story 'Faces' performed on @NosleepPodcast. Brilliant job by @ashmillman.bsky.social and others. You can listen here (22 mins 10s) www.thenosleeppodcast.com/episodes/s23...

My horror story 'Video Shop' is now available to listen to on the @thenosleeppodcast.bsky.social

SFRevu on my horror short story 'Window', out now in The Dark Magazine - "A filmed recording of a session between a psychiatrist and his female patient shows something unnerving... Chilling."

My horror story 'Window' is available to read now at The Dark Magazine www.thedarkmagazine.com/window/

Very pleased to share that my horror short story 'Window' appears in issue 122 of The Dark Magazine.

PORTRAITS OF DECAY is out NOW! I couldn’t be prouder of this book—the short story is such a fundamental part of the horror genre, it feels especially exciting to see my work collected. To kick off PORTRAITS’ birth, I wanted to talk about some of the works that served as its inspiration. THREAD/

Another great review today for my new fiction collection, A GRAVESIDE GALLERY! “This collection is solid… damn good!” Thank you, @luna13darke.bsky.social ! #reviewersrock #ericjguignard #AGravesideGallery instagram.com/p/DJXMvNQvpz7/

Nice review of @datlow.bsky.social 's Best Horror of the Year, Vol 16 here: www.thegothiclibrary.com/review-of-th...

Looking for Book Reviewers who would be interested in reviewing my upcoming horror fiction collection! #Reviews #Reviewers #BookReviews #reviewersrock A GRAVESIDE GALLERY: TALES OF GHOSTS AND DARK MATTERS by Eric J. Guignard Published by Cemetery Dance Coming April 22 Msg me! 🙂

I just joined the British Fantasy and Horror Society @britfantasysoc.bsky.social

'The Rule of Jenny Pen' is a very very good film. Weird, unsettling, brilliantly acted and stylised to enhance the plot (rather than distracting from it). Highly recommend.

Any horror short story writers out there looking to swap critiques/feedback on works in progress? I've got a new one I'd appreciate a view on and happy to return the favour.

I wrote this story because I find the introductions to many horror anthologies/collections slightly irritating. This was my revenge! Big thanks to Cosmic Horror Monthly for backing it. Read for free here:

#truth!

Free short fiction on the CHM website! Check out "Introduction to the Collection by Anonymous" by Charlie Hughes here: bit.ly/4ax9cVA

I'm going to buy this. In my opinion, Gemma Files is the best writer of modern horror short stories. Not one of the best. The best.

A rave review of @datlow.bsky.social 's anthology. This, from 'A Head Full of Horror' made my day: "The Motley, by Charlie Hughes... reminded me how rare it is to see an original creature in horror fiction that is profoundly scary."

A very nice review of The Best Horror of the Year volume Sixteen --Epeolatry Book Review: The Best Horror of the Year, Volume Sixteen, ed. Ellen Datlow - The Horror Tree - horrortree.com/epeolatry-bo...

The Best Horror of the Year: Volume 16. Incredible cover art! #Horror #HorrorArt #HorrorWriting #HorrorWritersChat

Nice review of my story "Introduction..." here from @nmwhitley.bsky.social at Short Story Rex. "At first the tone is ironic, witty, but six paragraphs in a different descriptor suggested itself to me as I was reading: dastardly. Hughes is up to something truly dastardly here"

Some appreciably meta madness in last month's @chmmagazine.bsky.social in "Introduction to the Collection by Anonymous" by @charliehughes77.bsky.social

Behold! Best Horror of the Year, Vol. 16 contributor copy has arrived. 'The Motley' begins with a creepy little nursery rhyme...

At the risk of having my cake and eating it... in addition to 'The Motley' being included in Best Horror of the Year Vol. 16, two of my other stories published in 2023 made Ellen Datlow's recommended reading list. Thanks to @ericjguignard.bsky.social & @shereereneethomas.bsky.social for publishing

My story "No One Warns You" (Cosmic Horror Monthly #32) made editor extraordinaire Ellen Datlow's Recommendation List for 2023. I'm honoured to be mentioned. Thank you to Datlow and to CHM's Charles Tyra! Here's where you can buy the issue. Will link to Ellen's latest Best Horror volume below.

It’s here! Best Horror of the Year Vol. 16 edited by @datlow.bsky.social. And I snagged a picture of one of the authors included (psst! It’s me!). 😛 My story “The Scare Groom” is featured among some of my favorites & new-to-me names as well. Thrilled to be in this line-up.

Well, this review made my week... "The Motley by Charlie Hughes is one of the most unsettling and frightening stories I ever read."

If I wrote horror (which alas, I don't) I would want my writing in this anthology. I'd want @datlow.bsky.social as my editor, because Ellen Datlow is all of the awesome. As a reader, you need to avail yourself of a copy of this anthology.

Go get it! Includes my folk horror story 'The Motley' originally published by @nosetouchpress.bsky.social

If you like #horror, @datlow.bsky.social's annual year's best is a must read. She scours every piece of short fiction in magazines and anthologies, and selects the best. If you're an aspiring #writer, reading a year's best will show you the cutting edge of the field in one quick volume!

You can read my short story 'Introduction to the Collection by Anonymous' in the November 2024 issue of Cosmic Horror Monthly.

My folk-horror tale 'The Motley' lurks within these pages. Very excited to see it out in the world. Also, cats love warm printers 😹😼😺

I was both confused and delighted by your story! It took me a minute to realize it wasn't an actual introduction to the magazine (I kept checking story titles), but once I grokked its meta-ness, I was all in! It was a perfect opener, weird and amorphous, starting vague and ending with specificity.

Out now. Cosmic Horror Monthly includes my meta-fictional horror tale 'Introduction to the Collection by Anonymous' cosmichorrormonthly.com/store/issue-...

Night has fallen and the mail has arrived. I am in my favorite place, lying on the floor next to the a bookshelf. Cracking open the November issue of Cosmic Horror Monthly. Catch you soon.

We’re excited to see “The Motley” by Charlie Hughes (first published in the Fiends in the Furrows III: Final Harvest) is to be in the latest BEST HORROR OF THE YEAR anthology from EllenDatlow @datlow.bsky.social —Congratulations to Charlie Hughes for his wonderful story getting included!

Contract signed. Pleased to say my horror short story 'The Soil in Her Eyes' will soon be published and animated(!) by Calliope Interactive. Blog updated charliehugheswriting.blogspot.com

My folk-horror monstrosity 'The Motley' will be in Best Horror of the Year, vol 16. Yay! Huge thanks to Ellen for picking it out & to Nosetouch Press for publishing it in 'Fiends III'. I don't take these moments for granted & I'm v grateful for the faith shown in my writing
