Q: How do you build dread in a short story?

@marythor.bsky.social: Itโ€™s about playing chicken, pushing characters to the edge repeatedlyโ€”the edge of what they shouldnโ€™t do, shouldnโ€™t see, shouldnโ€™t pursue. Then asking: what happens if they keep going?

Cover of She Isn't Herself Tonight by Hailey Piper, art by Caroline Johnson, depicting a woman caught between neon lights, her face fracturing into reflections of itself. Beneath the title is a quote from Rachel Harrison calling the novel "Blissfully twisted and genuinely heartfelt."

Because this is Edinburgh, I live within short-walking distance of a good many new and used bookshops. One of the newest, literally along the road from me, The Booklovers Bookshop, has just been named Scotland's Indie bookshop of the year. WELL DONE! #RomanceSpecialists

I've read Thomas Muller and his approach to #horror explores new ground and leaves dull tropes in the dust.

Why don't see how RUSTY feels?
