Looking through some of my old notes & I found a grief poem from when my ex passed away last year, as well as one I wrote with Matt.

I can't imagine they're particularly strong, but I find it interesting that it seems to be my direct response to grief as a skill I'd normally be self conscious of

I only saw this for the first time a few years ago, and it was such a blast of pure spooky atmosphere! Like the cinematic equivalent of a ghost ride

Text: "spice level: handholding (barely), neurodivergent MC's, a magical mountain, overcoming grief, sapphic romance, a bear-shifter, hermit-vibes deep in the forest, nose-booping, old dying gods.

🐻💜 5 WEEKS UNTIL RELEASE 💜🐻

"I had plenty of time to contemplate my own sanity while I dragged Sayran’s limp body through the thick undergrowth of the forest."

A cozy sapphic romance with no spice, no kissing, barely touching, but lots of love, angst, and wholesomeness.

This is your something something 90 ish minute warning #HorrorWritersChat

People hated the crowbarred AI features so much that the company had to ban the word "Microslop" on their forums... And that feedback made them decide to double down on it?
I hate how often today the attitude isn't "make the best service" but "bully them into the subscription"

My baby is back in print today 🥰

A woman trying to save her city has to slit a few throats to do it in this noir-inspired dark fantasy world, a story I wanted to tell that was the reason I became a writer.

Beautifully put, and I can't wait to see this book out in the wild to start doing some good for Matt's memory.

Unfortunately we are having to change that cover though (a genai image snuck into the stock photos on Canva). Will send you the update as soon as it arrives!

I’ve Received My First Acceptance of 2026 (And It Is Special) I’ve been sitting on this news for a month. I had to wait until it was official and all the paperwork was signed. Now, it’s time to let it all out. As many of you remember, my friend Ma…

Here's a blog post about my short story "The Static Man" and the extraordinary anthology it'll be appearing in.

#HorrorSky #HorrorWritersChat @chaoticauthor.online @thatwilliambeck.bsky.social

Thank you! After this post, I did receive a couple of designs from the community and think we're on to a winner. Just waiting to see how the wrap comes together! 🤞🏻 But will absolutely reach out if it doesn't work out

#HorrorWritersChat charity anthology update!

Contracts have been sent out tonight, so check your inboxes and please reach out if you have any questions/ trouble with it.

I'm also still working on a new cover, but open to any suggestions if anyone would like to contribute.

I unfortunately took it down. One of the images I had used on Canva was apparently AI generated. So it's back to the drawing board! 😅

This was fun and it gave me the creative boost I needed.

I have a short story in "Written in Blood Vol. 2". It's Sword and Sorcery and my story "The Dhampir and the Feline," has a little bit of what I talked about in the questions.

I'm Verati! Idk if I classify as a *horror writer* per se, since I'm more of an SFF+horror kinda writer, but enough of my work is spooky & monster/eldritch-horror-esque that I'm gonna participate.

Fave Black charas: Saga Anderson, Smoke/Stack & Annie (Sinners), Blade, Jon (TMA)

The cover for Wheelchair Seating for the Apocalypse with the text "when someone would ask me what I would do in case of zombies my immediate answer had always been Shoot myself in the head "

#horrorwriterschat

Thank you. This one made me think hard.

Wheelchair Seating for the Apocalypse is my most horrific horror. A woman in wheelchair makes cookies while zombies overrun her neighbourhood.

Thanks for such great questions, #horrorwriterschat!

Hello #Horrorwriterschat

Hello I'm AL. The horror I write is a mix of supernatural, gothic, folk with action. Think like Vampire Hunter D or Hellboy.

Blade, Childs in the Thing, Chris in Get Out, Yvonne from NOES 5: Dream Child, Lestat, Mindy Meeks-Martin, Anette and Alucard from Castlevania.

#HorrorWritersChat I am the Spooky Pickle. I write horror themed poetry. As for a lot of my other writing, I sprinkle in bits of horror for people to snack on.

For a minute, I totally forgot all I knew about horror. But like, I've been listening to TMA, sooo....Sasha, Martin, and John

Hi, #horrorwriterschat!

I'm JL, and I write spooky books for tweens!
Winston from Ghostbusters, is an all-time fave black horror hero, but I also love Keke Palmer in Nope (which is totally flying Tremors IYKYK)

I still gotta bundle Hostile 1 & 2. Maybe by next #HorrorWritersChat
So check out either Disquietous or Hostile 3! Each of the first five Hostile are standalone, especially the weirdness of The Abandoned Drafts, so no worries about catching up.
Have fun, see y'all next week!

Thanks for these questions Mary!! #HorrorWritersChat makes my week.

I’m actually going to promote someone else for today bc finding a kindred spirit is so exciting to me.

Amelia Burton ALSO WRITES ACE HORROR!! 😈 Let her explain how:

I'm Kyew and I write dystopia, and dabble in horror.

It's not really a character but I am absolutely in love with the band Zeal and Ardor, which make music inspired by the idea that Black slaves accepted Satan instead of Jesus.
