"What happens when Law & Order meets H.P. Lovecraft in the fog-draped streets of Rhode Island? You get Providence Supernatural Crimes Unit, a debut series opener that is as thrilling as it is atmospheric, and one that announces Chad Anctil as a genuinely exciting new voice in Urban Fantasy horror."

The new anthology from New England Horror Writers, 'Wicked Westerns', is coming soon, and there's a great Kickstarter campaign to help support the release (and get awesome swag!). I've got a story in this collection, I can't wait for you to read it! 💙📚 🩸📚 www.kickstarter.com/projects/neh...

I wrote a dystopian horror story last year that showed a giant Amazon-style Ai company destroying the world, and the opening paragraph was the company explaining reducing water rations to help cool the servers. 🩸📚 💙📚 #dystopian

I wrote a retro‑vibe sci‑fi story recently. I polished it and sent it to my editor, and she liked it, but she wanted it darker; she wanted bigger stakes. I rewrote the last third of the story, and she was right. The bleaker ending hits harder and makes the characters feel alive. #scifi #amwriting

Writing has been good this week. I was able to finish a great sci-fi story, and I'm making great progress on another piece. Being out of work isn't great, but writing is definitely helping me keep focused lately, and I've got really exciting news coming soon! 💙📚 🩸📚

I really enjoyed writing this story - it's an Egyptian-themed cosmic horror, and I just love how it came out. The book, 'Flash of the Dead: Egypt', looks fantastic, it's a really good anthology of flash fiction horror. 💙📚 🩸📚 #horror #egypt

I love this city! Providence is such a beautiful, classic city, with a rich and haunted history!

New Book Day! I just got my copy of ‘Whatever’, the Gen X anthology from Altitude Press. This is not a horror anthology, it has a lot of amazing stories full of great 80s vibes. My story, ‘Midnight Mixtape’, is a story about loss and music and just a little bit of magic. 💙📚 a.co/d/00uvvw4f

We made it to Friday, but at what cost??

Because someone asked me about it today, I'll share it here: I think my grossest story to date is 'The Garbage Chute', in the anthology KrankenHaus. It actually made an editor gag. High praise for a horror author! Who else has written really gross, gory stories? 🩸📚 💙📚 #horror #gory

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Providence Supernatural Crimes Unit is a dark, electrifying page turner that perfectly blends gritty police work with chilling supernatural horror. Officer Mary Riley’s plunge into a hidden world of impossible crimes is intense, atmospheric, and impossible to put down." 🩸📚 💙📚 #urbanfantasy

What do we think about Mondays? What should I post to 'drive engagement' (or just entertain folks)? I'm sure someone who is social-media savvy has a whole plan for this sort of thing, but I'm a Gen-X horror writer, so... 🩸📚 #authorreading 💙📚 #horror www.youtube.com/shorts/FRSwt...

'Memories Remain', my ghostly story of grief and the horror of loss, is now available to read for free at The Horror Zine! www.thehorrorzine.com/Fiction/Marc... 💙📚 🩸📚 #freestory #horror #freehorror #newrelease
