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.

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

a man in a suit and tie is asking where 's the update ? Alt: The Doctor screaming "where's the update?"

#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.

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!

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.

My queer splatterpunk novels are QUESTION NOT MY SALT and IN THE DOLLHOUSE WE ALL WAIT (pay attention to trigger warnings, bc DOLLHOUSE in particular has every warning but animal cruelty). QNMS is available wide, and DOLLHOUSE comes out April 10.

You can find my scifi infused haunted house tale anywhere good books are sold! A little sad, a little food for thought on who, or what, haunts whom?
