Good Timezone, Y'all.

I'm KD Martin and I write primarily psychological and political horror (though that is feeling less and less speculative as time passes). I have an eclectic taste in music which ranges anywhere from bubblegum pop, to grunge, to heavy metal.

I have frequently got a song in my head. This is a quality I attribute to almost everyone, that interior sound track.

I am also a lyrics goblin and like to occasionally use the background noise of a song playing for foreshadowing.

Hi #HorrorWritersChat Scribbler Johnny here, and I write romance and satirical horror. I write to instrumental and ambient music.

Hi, everyone! I'm Satyr, I specialize in dark fantasy and horrors of the cosmic, metaphysical, psychological, satirical, and occasionally splatterish variety.

I always write to music. Artists and genre depend on my mood and the atmosphere I'm trying to invoke.

Thanks Eryn, loved the questions

Since Christmas is approaching, I'm boosting this festive fairytale written by our much loved and missed Matt. I read it last year and it's a fun little tale #BookSky #HorrorWritersChat

Kick ass week, Eryn! Love to yap about music, lol.

I've recently created a new and improved edition of my debut novel, The Worst Summer of My Life. It is smaller and contains some artsy goodies in the backmatter drawn by yours truly. Additionally, my new novella, SOUR DOE, is also out!

#HorrorWritersChat Q4:

First that status, some small shift in social dynamics. Then their perception; the world and then themselves. Finally, now that they have been seen, their hearts will change. Note by note, the dissolution of good intention.

#HorrorWritersChat Q3:

I mentioned it in a previous comment but the Annihilation soundtrack is anxiety inducing. For me it captures the utter deconstruction of self as a singular immutable truth. I've tried to capture that feeling but so far it remains tantalizing and ineffable.

Hey #HorrorWritersChat ! I write a lot of mixed genre work, but my horror is a lot of body horror, angry women, and Latin American flavor, woven together. Currently been listening to a love of indie pop synth, like the Knocks, MUNA, the midnight, and Tove Lo.

I am Christine (like the car), my horror is supernatural/cosmic/monsters, and when I listen to music while writing itโ€™s usually lyricless. Lofi chill, or metal for a specific mood. #horrorwriterschat

#HorrorWritersChat Q2:

For me, it's the silences that matter most. The long drawn-out pause before a heart breaks. The words unspoken. The creeping dread before the final scream.

Those are the moments I love to linger in.
