IN THE LIBRARY WITH J.S. DOUGLAS GREETINGS, BOOKWORMS! I’m Aisha Kandisha, Head Librarian at Kandisha Press. Join me in the dusty stacks of the library I will never leave again as I chat with some of my favorite Women in Hor…

How cool is it to get an interview with an indie press? Idk, but Kandisha Press interviewed me and I couldn’t be more excited! Check it out if you have a minute!

That is such a kind perspective! Thank you!

Yeah, I can see both sides of the coin. I just like using all the words. But, I also like poetry and writing short stories, so I’m making things hard on myself.

Is writing a poem easier or harder than writing a short story? I am obsessively editing and re-editing a poem to submit to an open call and I’m finding so many opportunities to second guess myself. I think sometimes having more words to work with makes things easier.

Just finished “Witchcraft for Wayward Girls.” It’s so fucked up. I loved it.

👻 Women In Horror 🦷

March is the perfect time to celebrate the incredible women shaping horror! Two years ago, my shelves seriously lacked women authors. Now, thanks to the book community, that’s changed.

See any favorites? #WomenInHorror #HorrorBooks

Also, my very rude dog tried to devour “Out There Screaming.” Fortunately, he just gnawed on the corner of the book so I can still read it. It’s soooo good so far!

Libby is literally the best. I cannot wait to read “Witchcraft for Wayward Girls” by Grady Hendrix. He’s one of my favorite authors!

Happy snow day!

I spent all day yesterday working on my novel. I’ve only got 60 chapters to go! I’m dying to tell this story! #writer #amwriting

I live next to a privately owned train track, so it’s always a fun surprise when the train comes. Could come at 8:30 AM on a Thursday, might be 10 AM on a Sunday. Might just be the guy who owns it transporting his jeep up and down the track for some reason.

I will never look at a kid in a hoodie the same.

That is incredibly cool

Ooh. That’s really cool.

Right?? It feels very refreshing.

Same! I’m not the greatest about being on my personal social, but this seems like a nice place to hang out.

Hey! Glad to see you here!

Sounds like AI wants to replace your brain.

I’m about to start Sugar by Mia Ballard

That’s an awesome cover!

These look amazing!

My ideal reader for my WIP is someone who loves a mix of fantastical and real life horror. And potentially the kind of person who is interested in reading about and dissecting cults.

That’s so exciting!

I hope you get the answers you need to get well and stay healthy!

I’m reading “The Salt Grows Heavy” by Cassandra Khaw
