I have too many ideas and am way too overstimulated to write them all.

What are your feelings on novellas? Do you not see the point of them, read them occasionally, or wish they were more popular?

It's a month until Christmas and I have a present for the horror fans!

Amissis Liberis is a Victorian-era horror novella revolving around two families, and a year that will change everything. Fantastic for fans of Gothic horror and Mike Flanagan.

You know where to look for it.

Working on the dual novella project, INTERMISSION is a sort of cross between Janice Hallett's The Appeal and Paul Tremblay's A Head Full of Ghosts.

THE GOOD SHIP VERDEN is much more Misery x Midsommar though.

Who said it was a good idea to write two novellas at the same time?

Between a friend of mine making it in @andrewcull.bsky.social Encounters with Cryptids anthology and @aldbera.bsky.social new story in Retail Hell 2, it sure is a good morning for horror. If you want some Intruder short story with your coffee here's a link: midlvlmag.com/sarah-r-new-...

Really excited about this new dual novella project. Already wondering if I can do another one in the future.

VERY excited to start working on The Good Ship Verden, and not just as a distraction from working on Intermission Draft 2!

One thing I didn't expect from being a chronically ill horror author would be how different symptoms inspire me. Like, for instance, I didn't expect to be so ultimately confident that I could fight most people and win.

L.N. Holmes’ The Floating Castle is an epic tale of fantasy that weaves the plot lines of multiple strong female protagonists with a gripping arc. I COULD NOT stop thinking about this book. All I wanted to do was to continue reading about these characters, wondering how their stories would intersect. Reading the book felt like hurtling towards this terrifying ending, and I couldn’t tell which way it was going to go. I am dying to read the next part of this story!

It is a screenshot from Goodreads. It reads: Amissis Liberis, Sarah R. New and shows a 5 star rating.
