Stephen H Wilder - Horror Author 🩸📚

Bought and added to my TBR 😊

I’ll have to keep an eye out! Big fan of clever minimalist covers like that.

I’ve not read it, but that cover is really well designed.

It is. I think I saw recently that the average household has an average of 15 books… 😳

All the more reason to get more. 🤣

How many physical books do you own?

I recently logged all of mine in a spreadsheet (yes, I’m that kind of person), and I was underwhelmed with how few I actually had. I was expecting to be approaching 1k, but I’ve only got 659 and counting.

New fear unlocked 👀

A truly terrifying combination.

Haha! Yeah, corporate spiel is the worst. It was painfully accurate to the way a big corporation would try to spin it.

Hahaha! Yeah, that’ll get ‘em. 🤣

Plush was really good (I know that sounds weird given the subject matter, but still), probably one of my favourites.

Oh yeah, if they aren’t attached via a cable, I am 100% losing them within a week. I keep seeing ads for Heavys, and I have to say, I’m tempted. Lol.

Yuuuuup. Haha!

Hmmm… I may need to invest in some noise cancelling ones. I’m still relying on a basic pair of in ear ones from three phones ago. Lol.

Thanks Eryn! #HorrorWritersChat

I’d like to give a shoutout to @tlbodine.bsky.social

These Kids Are Not Alright is a great collection of short stories. Some are fun, some are creepy, and some are downright difficult to read (for a father of a three year old).

Yeah, I think it’s the same for a lot of somewhat new tech. I can see how amazing it could be for certain demographics, but it will almost certainly be used and exploited for profit instead. Bleak times ahead, I fear.

Same. The design studio I work in can get noisy, and I can’t even begin to concentrate without headphones.

But when I’m writing at home, I’ll just put something on the tv. Maybe I should try using headphones, even at home. Haha.

I think AI on its own is pretty harmless (it’s just a glorified chain of “if” statements), however, humanity’s belligerent want to use it, even when it’s to our own detriment, will be our inevitable downfall.

So far I’ve mainly relied on more atmospheric horror; darkness, and the danger of the unknown, as well as internalised body horror.

Videogame soundtracks are also great. Also a fan of the hours-long fireplace videos Netflix put out a while back.

I don’t have anything published, but I’m working on the outlines for a series of short stories where the overarching theme is *exactly* that. 👀

I end up bopping away, unable to concentrate. Lol. Which is weird, as I listen to music all the time while working and it doesn’t have the same effect. 🤷‍♂️

Absolutely, it’s just annoying that so many ambient sound videos on YouTube are ai slop.

It’s amazing how well it works at shutting out the outside world.

Yup, exactly this. Plus a 3 year old who likes to ask many a question about what I’m doing. Lol.

Hey all! 👋

I’m Stephen, and I write body and psychological horror.

Not really tech, but as someone who is easily distracted, I have to be sitting in a quiet room, listening to an ambient soundtrack in order to write for a decent chunk of time.

The 8 key from a keyboard, loose, found in the tumble dryer.

I’ve often thought about starting up a throwaway account just to list all the random crap I pull out of the washing machine / tumble dryer.

Today I was reminded again, finding an 8.

We don’t have any keyboards missing keys…

Done! 👍 ☺️
