There’s a reason it took my 20 years to find publishing success. There’s a reason it is taking me two+ years to finish my second book. It’s called a day job. I didn’t have one when I wrote my first book. It was a stressful time, but the book got done.

Day five of achieving my writing goal! This one was tougher than expected, mostly because of outside BS. Anyway, I did it and tomorrow is day 6.

#HorrorWritersChat Descending Angel by The Misfits broke something inside me. I've been chasing that emotional reaction ever since, even stopping Emi and Chiharu singing it to the moon in Forever Ends Tonight.

Thank Eryn

I'm gonna pimp me second book, LOST WITNESS, cause it's set in the snow and it's currently Christmas

And more appropriate, it's kinda miserable

B-but fun

I pubbed a similar story. Only dogs & some people can hear the song the main char. discovers because of the high pitch. People wonder what the song will attract. They're trapped in a concert hall when something driven mad by the song comes to the doors, seeking entry.

Hounds.

The structure of the atom, from there all and everything is changed. What is known and understood is no longer valid. We are back at the beginning of knowledge - if we still exist with a capacity to learn, if we exist at all.

Thanks again for having me. I've got books. Maybe check them out? It's fine if you don't, though. The world's on fire. I get it. Bottom line, be excellent to each other, my dudes.

Marley here! And since you phrased it this way, I think 'my horror' is having wasted too much time 😂 Most of the time I write in silence, so I don't switch over into 'making a playlist' mode and get nothing done. I do have a Werewolf-themed brainstorming playlist.

NOT enough! I think as I move more into supernatural fantasy and horror, that psyhological horror that creeps, noise (and smell) are soooo important...

The thought that they’ve heard it before but can’t place where or when. But every time the song plays it reveals a piece of an event from the past that the character doesn’t know whether is real or just in their imagination. #HorrorWritersChat

"The Penis Fruit Loop" by Nurse With Wound gave me a panic attack that sent me to the emergency room. I was also high at the time. I don't smoke weed anymore, but I still listen to Nurse With Wound.

For the curious: nursewithwound1.bandcamp.com/album/an-awk...

Thank you @erynmccee.bsky.social and #HorrorWritersChat for another fun session. Matt would be proud…

As it was my birthday on Saturday (42), I’m going to shamelessly ask for my works to be shared. Read, review, ravish them with praise to others!

#horrorwriterschat Thanks, Eryn. As always, find my stuff on Substack, and keep an eye out for a couple of my stories coming out in anthologies in the next few months.

Stay weird and creepy, my friends. :)

The “making balloon animals” sound I referenced earlier comes from the title story in my collection.

I'm a cornball, so I love to make music references (I stuck the names of the Soundgarden dudes in my manuscript). In terms of music in the story, I use it for ironic humor. And I'm trying to figure out how to have a character hyperfixate on a song without quoting.

There's something about Schubert's Winterreise, you know. It's definitely a story in the ears. Der Leiermann, the last song in the sequence, is for me the very essence of wintry grief horror. #HorrorWritersChat

Thanks again #HorrorWritersChat!

As this was a music-themed evening I'm sharing By the Blood, a Catholic Vampire novella

It started as a thought experiment born of listening to Powerwolf's Blessed and Possessed album enough to consider taking the theological implications of undead clergy seriously
