The good things about marshes, bogs, swamps, and the like, is that you can just lay down in the middle of one and slowly sink into the muck

I absolutely love reading fantasy but write horror. I'm currently trying to make myself read more horror because all I wanna read is Discworld.

If all my book covers are "greyscale foggy landscape with text" would that really be so bad?

I'd still like to find an artist to draw an actual cover, but in the meantime I've started using this cover for "Heliruna" and I kinda like it. If I end up not being able to afford an artist, this might end up being the cover. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

"First they came for the drag queens, and I did not speak out for I was not a drag queen.

Next they came for the trans athletes, and I did not speak out for I was not an athlete.

Then, they came for the queer teachers, and I did not speak out, for I was not a teacher.

And then they came for me."

The last time Americans were this united about ANYTHING, Trump bragged about having the tallest tower in Manhattan now.

Also surprise surprise nobody has money for tourist trips when there's a new 50% tax on coffee and a new 18% tax on groceries at large and a new 10% tax on cars and nearly a million jobs have vanished and inflation is ramping back up to 2020 levels and...

A landscape photograph of Inman Lake near McPherson, Kansas. The lake shimmers under a blue sky. The area around the lake is verdant and wooded, painting a picturesque scene. The title in white text reads, "In search of Sinkhole Sam: Creepy Kansas Part 2".

Crime under Biden reached a more than fifty year low. Republicans are lying to you.

Fuck Mike Kehoe and anyone who voted for him. Been saying that he'd be somehow worse than Parson and here he is.

Tried to post my Stull Cemetery video to Tiktok and it crashed my phone. I think the video is too long (at 11 minutes) so it'll just have to live on my YouTube.
Anyways, part 2 uploads tomorrow where I visit Inman Lake in search of the legendary cryptid Sinkhole Sam!

They've already admitted to cheating several times. Biden should've stepped down and let Harris become president via ascension and she should've refused to step down until a thorough election audit was completed. But establishment dems have no spine.

Asking because I thought "The Woods" was dark but I just finished the rough draft of "Heliruna" the other day and it's WAY darker. 😬

Odds that they're planning on using this as their excuse to oust Trump and install Vance as their puppet dictator?

Informal poll for #horror readers: how important to you is a happy ending to a book, really? Does a catastrophic ending ruin the reading experience for you? What about a bittersweet ending?

#horrorwriterschat Sabine's go-to reaction in stressful situations seems to be to astral project herself out of harm's way and ask for her grandmother's help.

In other news, Barack Obama turned 64 two days ago, meaning he's almost old enough to run for president!

Weekly reminder: if you voted for him once, fine he was the nominee. If you voted for him twice, you're an easily duped moron. If you voted for him three times, you're a blatant fascist.

No. Fucking. Shit.
> Claims to be reducing government waste and red tape
> Gives 3 million federal civilian employees weekly pointless busiwork

I can't believe there are still people stupid enough that they can't see through it.
