I love this from Vonnegut. There's a temptation to treat writing like a sprint, burning ourselves out, but writing is a long game. Give yourself time. Time to fail. Time to breathe. Time to learn. You'll find your way. #writing

Love finding rare gems, and this one from Chekhov is a beauty of a small story which ventures into horror-town. (Something he didn't do very often) #Chekhov https://youtu.be/uqafLSX_o1k

Still one of the most tense tales I've ever read. Writers of horror could learn a lot from this one. I certainly did. #shortstories

An excellent new story we've published that has remained in my mind ever since posting it.  https://youtu.be/1uGB9WxyCZM #horrorshortfiction

Love this quietly horrible story by O Henry. Even if his language got gobbled up in my mouth on occasion...  Check us out if you love reading spooky stories from legends.  #horrorfiction https://youtu.be/1x6gsY5eQcg

Getting to put my own twist on my favorite urban legend was so much fun. You can read it for ✨free✨ Link below #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

Absolutely love being an editor. I can go from 'Thanks for sending me the best story ever' to reactions from rejection emails telling me 'i hope u die'... Some people, eh? Don't be that people. I'll remember.

Our YouTube channel is picking up speed. Check us out if you like classic spooky stories mixed in with tales from new and exciting writers.  #HORROR

This story is the most requested since I started narrating tales, so it was about time. I love this story and it deserves its spot on all the 'top short stories ever' lists.  https://youtu.be/-T-fIAjpRNE

The latest story is available at A Midnight Kind of Place. This one was so much fun to read. I hope you enjoy it...  https://www.amidnightkindofplace.com/the-fun-times-gal-of-rockway-boulevard-by-j-nathan/ #shortstories

A long quote from one of my fave novels, and one that I always come back to. #Writing

After publishing Kitchen Jesus, I spoke with fellow editor SJ Townend about the story behind the story, and why this tale hits all the emotional high notes.  https://www.amidnightkindofplace.com/interviewwithsjtownend/ #writers

Never thought I'd pretend to be Jesus... 

New story is live. This one really goes places....  https://www.amidnightkindofplace.com/kitchenjesusbysjtownend/ If you have a story, send it our way.  #horror

Loved narrating this one. It's a surprisingly warm tale about a haunted house. What's not to love about that?  #horror https://youtu.be/-2SGuf2LIPk

Some old-stool horror with crosses and newborns... 

Loved this one by Richard Farren Barber, It's got a real old-school taste to it, and it just rips.  https://www.amidnightkindofplace.com/amothersloverichardfarren/ For my writer friends, we're still open to submissions! #Shortstories

John Collier died on this day in 1980. He was a legend that Legend that can't be forgotten. 

I love hearing about how authors come up with their tales: #Authors https://www.amidnightkindofplace.com/interview-with-paul-edmonds/

I had such a good time narrating this one. It's a bit sick in the head. 

If you like tension-filled tales, I've got you covered. A Haunted Island by Algernon Blackwood is worth dissecting (which we're doing over on Short Story Club over on Substack)

Another story is up. This time, it's a heavy story about pain and how it can change you.  https://www.amidnightkindofplace.com/vertebrae_by_paul_edmonds/ #shortfiction

I had real fun voicing the bad guy / dog in this one. It's well worth the read / listen. If you're into creepy weird stuff...  Follow us as we share the very best new (and old) tales horror has to offer.  #horror

Latest tale is up.  #horror https://www.amidnightkindofplace.com/rufus_corinneengber/

I went behind the scenes with Stetson Ray who shares thoughts on writing and where ideas come from. It's well worth a read. 

I got my banshee scream on for this one - https://youtu.be/oOUB49bQFig Loved this tale. It's so god-damned eerie.  #horror

Another new tale done. This one is a fever dream of a story that creeped me the hell out when narrating it.  I love the feeling of this one.  https://www.amidnightkindofplace.com/woodsatnight_stetsonray/ #horror #shortfiction #shortstories #books #bookstagram #creepypasta #horrorstory

New story if you're into that kind of thing:  https://youtu.be/Ycpbbp1wLLQ We're also up on Spotify and Apple Podcasts if you like horror stories directly in your earholes.  #Shortstories #podcasts

Another story and another interview featuring an up and coming writer. We dive into the role that rhythm and musicality have to play in fiction.  #writingcommunity

We're still open for submissions for our Rat themed anthology that will go live later this year. If you want a flavour for the type of tale I'm after, this tale is a good example.  https://youtu.be/E2cHrzt9dDw deets for subs: www.amidnightkindofplace.com/submissions #Submissioncalls

For all my writer friends out there. Keep writing the good write.

Happy World Poetry Day!!  Over at A Midnight Kind of Place, we posted a story by Mir Rainbird which shares the power of the written word. It's such a haunting piece.  #worldpoetryday

One thing I'm really enjoying is interviewing the authors who we're publishing. It's so nice to hear about where these tales came from and what their inspirations are.  #Writing

Another day, another tale by an amazing new writer.  If you have a tale, send it our way. Check out our submissions page on our site (link in bio). https://www.amidnightkindofplace.com/lillywhite-end-by-nathan-poole-shannon/

I'm really digging narrating these tales, though this one has a lot of verbiage that I stumbled over again and again. Still, it's a delightfully creepy tale told in a way unique to M. R. James.  https://youtu.be/Z0JujbVEdpM

After posting Mason Gallaway's The Black Room, we threw some questions at him and he had this to say about writing. I thought it was very well said.  https://www.amidnightkindofplace.com/interview-with-mason-gallaway/ #Writing

Another tale by a legendary author. You can read or listen for free on our site or on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Podcasts.  This one nearly broke me...  #shortfiction https://www.amidnightkindofplace.com/the-ash-tree-by-m-r-james/

If you like a look behind the scenes, we spoke to Scottish author, Daniel Foley, about the originals of his tale we just published.  Go behind the scenes with us. It's always a pleasure to see how these tales come to be. 

I fucking love writing. That is all.

As an Editor, there's nothing like reading a submission and having it blow you away. I love that feeling, and to be the one to unleash the story on the world is amazing.  #WritingCommunity If you have a tale, send it my way:
