Bert Piedmont's FAT MONSTER now available!

Hive mind, I need an #archeologist. Anyone? I know I fake it really well, but in actually, I am not one.
I'm at 32K for Leet-Z and my #archeology questions are piling up. #horrorwriting #horrorauthor #amwriting #nanowrimo #novnov #cthulhupunk #pandemic #mummy

Oh, thanks so much! <3

here's my #horrorhaiku

Ah, whatever I don't want to know or see or acknowledge. Animals and people I love die. That lumpy thing could be cancer. The world is shit. Really, no one cares. Those truths just make everyone cry. Hide them inside old socks and Tupperware, for the love of Cthulhu. #horrorwriterschat

The seal does not look like a seal. It looks like anything else, not esoteric or mysterious. Like an old sock or a piece of Tupperware. Not scary at all. It is on the top shelf in a box with similar things, some of which are also Seals. #horrorwriterschat

I'm late, I thought this started at 3. I write all sorts of horror. I have an esoteric horror seal containing a very small shoggoth. We should not open it. #horrorwriterschat

My novel Leet-Z has a character called Rigoberto Ixtlilxochitl whose name came to me in a dream. I am very excited about him and you all need to be excited too.

Fun is certainly a word. 😂

It's a dream! I love it when my grey tree frogs sing to me all summer like they remember that I fed them when they were tadpoles. I am Mother of Frogs. ☆.𓋼𓍊 𓆏 𓍊𓋼𓍊.☆

It's that sucking feeling when you get near a certain type of drop, isn't it? like it's pulling you over. #horrorwriterschat

My next novel mixes #Cyberpunk with a 500-year-old #mummycurse so I think we can look both ways at once. #horrorwriterschat

Well, there you go. There is your next project. #horrorwriterschat

Your parents' work friends? Yuck. I'd rather play with ghosts. 👻 #horrorwriterschat

Can you aspire to be the first trans final girl? That would be awesome! <3

What happens is, I hear one & it resonates with me & a "what if" pops into my head. Like #zombies are caused by #brainworms so that's why you have to cut off their heads & destroy the heads utterly or the brain worm will find a new head--like yours. #horrorwriterschat 🧟‍♀️ྀིྀི

Didn't you peep through the crack in the bathroom door? how do you think I know there was a skeleton under my bed that wanted to eat the flesh off my toes? #horrorwriterschat

Frogs and toads are awesome. I live next to a frog pond. I raise baby tree frogs every year.

wait, what KIND of things were climbing out of your toilet??? curious minds need to know. #horrorwriterschat

Who isn't afraid of social interaction? #horrorwriterschat

who puts a life-size Freddie in their restaurant? eww

I'm Bert & I write all kinds of dark stuff. I used to cry when my parents shut off a certain light because it was my friend & I thought they were killing it ( #autistic much?) so they thought I was scared of the dark. NO MY FRIEND IS DEAD. There was also a #skeleton under the bed. #horrorwriterschat

Exactly when I have a class! I'll see what I can do. I adjusted my calendar accordingly.

Ah, I have a class then, I'll see what I can do, but I might have to answer everything late.

Yeah, there's nothing and it starts in 3 minutes. Feeling a bit worried.

Ellen Datlow’s Best Horror of the Year, Volume 17 Delivers Terror at Its Finest | BookTrib. I have to admit, as a horror writer, editor and reader, these “best of” anthologies are like candy. Part of me wants to curl up on the couch and read such a lovely volume straight through, and another...

My review of @datlow.bsky.social newest Best #horror just dropped!

Fat Monster won 2 second place #Bookfest awards this weekend! Body Horror & Women's Horror. #horrorwriter

Thank my hubby for getting a great paying job

Oh, it has to be Dr Bao Lee, I keep putting him in everything. He's so deliciously unhinged and evil and unaware of his insanity. He's in Fat Monster and Metal and his cloned children are in my new Monsters & Metal Cthulhupunk series. #horrorwriterschat

Since I mentioned Fat Monster, please read it. It's really good. I suck at marketing & my webbed feet are 2 ugly to sell feet pics. amzn.to/4lUfELx body horror, obesity, shoggoths, mushroom shakes, multi-level-marketing scams, fungus monsters, weight loss horror, brainwashing #horrorwriterschat
