Would definitely like to second recommending people check out some MG Mason;
Recently he has published a couple of great old school ghostly shorts that are truly beautiful and unnerving to read.

But he also has an ongoing series (Salmonweird) about a murder mystery in a town of ghosts.

The book cover Maryneal 1962. The protagonist is covered in blood and running towards the reader. There are cars facing the title that is displayed at a drive-in movie theater. The quote on the front says a harrowing and gorgeously rendered exploration of grief from USA Today best selling author Emily Jane.

Thanks for hosting, Gree!
My recent release is Harrowfield, a quiet folk horror set in the England/Wales border land known as the Marches.

The past is still very much in the present.

Thank you. Some exquisitely worded creepy prompts.

Since we have been talking of phantoms, I happen to have a ghost story out soon.

It is called Hollowed By Thy Name, and will hopefully be released in a Halloween zine on classic British horror from @generalwitch.bsky.social

salutations! I’m pun and I write weird things from my brain

there is a knock at the door and when you open it there is no one there

however as you wander through your home you see wet footprints across the floor and hear odd laughs and murmurs

must just be the storm outside

>Steps from the mist, boots caked in Ozark mud.< I write horror that seeps up from the soil and monsters that look too much like family.
I hail from the haunted hills of southwest Missouri, and tonight my wraithful visage is a preacher’s ghost still clutching his sermon.

I'm a PNW-based writer of occult horrorβ€”supernatural, folk, cosmicβ€”which is often (though not always) politically-charged.

I arrive today in the visage of a Biblically-accurate angel who is *super mad* at the way religious belief has been twisted to serve evil ends.

#horrorwriterschat Hi I’m Ian. I’m writing a horror noir where an old woman fell down the stairs in slow motion on page 12. My wrathful visage? Hawkeye T shirt that looks rotten.

Is that a theme I see before me?

I think, #HorrorWritersChat bods, that my ghostly visage would be that of another excellent bugger, Dorian Grey. Or the author? No, the painting. It's so dastardly demonic, right?
Oh and the name's McConnell. EM. I write the psychological, supernatural, the gothic.
