🌟The more reviews a book has, the more social proof it has. 🌟 More and more people wait to see if something has reviews before buying. 🌟Even one line can make a huge difference. Help a girl out! If you've read any of my books, please stick a review up. #booksky #horrorAuthor

I have a range of skills, but my most surprising one is the ability to lose important documents.

I rounded up some more Spooktober mini stories from this week 👻 open.substack.com/pub/hannadel... #Spooktober #horror

Hi new followers! I thought I'd do a quick intro post. I'm Hanna, and I'm a horror author from Liverpool. I have 3 kids and write what I can, when I can! I used to be an English teacher but I've been living the self-employed life for 6 years. What about you? 1/4 #horrorauthor #authorcommunity

A little bit more about 'The Shade In The Sands and Other Stories' on Goodreads. It comes out in December on paperback and ebook, but you can pre-order the kindle version now. www.goodreads.com/book/show/24... #gothic #horrorauthor

I've had no time to really write today. I'll have to write all evening instead. What a shame that will be.

Currently reading: Ramses The Damned (The Mummy) by Anne Rice. #booksky📚

#Horror #AllHallowsEve #Fun #Halloween Photos From Around My Town:

One of the other tales that will be included in the collection is 'The Shabti' which is currently free to read! It's one of my most popular stories on substack. hannadelaneywrites.substack.com/p/the-shabti #horror #horrorauthor

Thank you for the chat this week, Mary! It's been a bleary one, and I needed the company. My main project right now is my Patreon page: www.patreon.com/cw/arcdirect... I've been working hard to populate it with loads of thrills and chills for the Halloween season. #HorrorWritersChat

Here are my latest horror book recommendations, and you should definitely check all of these out. Your next favourite horror tale may be amongst this fine bunch!

Thank you, Mary! In the House of In Between tells the story of one house, haunted without any deaths within its walls, and its visitors over a century. If living with trauma of war or trying to solve where ghosts come from, everyone will come closer to what lies between worlds. #HorrorWritersChat

Gothic Egyptomania, anyone? I'm so excited to launch my first collection of short stories in December. I've collated some chilling short stories inspired by 'Mummy Mania' and the Gothic Egyptian tales of Conan Doyle and Stoker. hannadelaneywrites.substack.com/p/cover-reve... #horrorauthor #gothic

What a fun chat! Thanks, Mary! I just shared my first published Halloween story on my blog. It’s old and silly, but I adore it and it is also the first appearance of my favorite character: Bram Hellebore - The Halloween Wizard. Take care! www.patreon.com/posts/141811...

Thank you for doing this! 9 days until my collection is unleashed! Read it in your bathroom. Read it with a piece of cheese. Read it by candle light on Halloween while gobbling sweets. Hopefully, you'll read it. It will help me buy more dino nuggets. Pre-Order here: mybook.to/AllsWell

#HorrorWritersChat Thank you Mary LOST WITNESS A Science Fiction Gothic Romance, with flavours of horror, mystery & erotica "a melancholic tale of departed romance. It puts forward the burden of blame, and leaves you to ponder the obligation of responsibility" www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...

Andrew Gill would be popping over to ask when Muldoon is due back. He's been waiting Gill is my favourite because he's a grump and I love grumpy men. Gill's a grumpy, hot-headed Police Chief Inspector who was inspired by Philip Glennister's Gene Hunt. He's my Victorian Gene Genie. #horrorwriterschat

Ah, I can do this! Right next to me are: The Alienist - Caleb Carr Rebecca - Daphne Du Maurier The Moonstone - Wilkie Collins Murder With Venom - Brian Marriner. The artwork would be what my kids have drawn for me. That's what I have now. It can be nightmare fuel sometimes. #horrorwriterschat

Just a notebook, a pen and a chromebook. Not very exciting but hey ho. #horrorwriterschat

Hey all! 👋 I’m an on-again-off-again writer of (mostly) body and psychological horror. My dream writing room would be a big, well-stocked library. No distractions, dimly lit, soft classical music playing, and a big spacious desk with a comfy chair. #HorrorWritersChat

Q1: #HorrorWritersChat J.D. Buffington here, author of horror and scifi. I can write anywhere. But if I had my druthers, a cabin that could see the sea on one side and forested mountains from the other. Or Alaska. I’m deeply fascinated by the midnight sun and aurora.

#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. 🤣

Hi, I'm Hadassah! I write gothic fiction, usually historical and/or supernatural. Dream writing room would have a comfortable window seat, a view of a forest & stream, Victorian furniture, reference books, cabinets displaying porcelain dolls, butterflies/moths/beetles, old maps... #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

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, 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

Hobbit holes *are* built for comfort. #HorrorWritersChat

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

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

Helloo #HorrorWritersChat! It's me, Mitch, horror writer of the folk, sci-fi, and weird kind. My dream writing room would probably be an in-home library that holds every reference book that I would ever need. And a lil' under the desk hammock for my cat to snooze in while I work. Saving my toes.

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

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

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

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

I'm Samantha, a multigenre writer whose horror runs the gamut. Welcome to the tower room lined in windows and books I always dreamed of. Forest and sea views; someone to bring me tea. Perfect for finishing my ghost story, my gothic romance, or the next spooky idea to overtake me. #HorrorWritersChat

My current genres: Gothic horror. Folk horror. My writing room: 2-story tall library filled to the brim with books and knick-knacks from worldly travels. Rolling ladders. At the top would be a stained glass dome, and there would be large windows that the rain could fall against. #HorrorWritersChat

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
