Awesome discussion about #mentalhealth and #horror and absolutely stellar readings! Well done @jonfrater.bsky.social, @hdwp.com and @chwallisuk.bsky.social

I’m also an audiobook girl, I listen while I’m at the gym! Adding to my TBR btw

Loved Gideon! Thoughts on Dream House?

Thank you so much! ♥️

As of this weekend, I can finally do a pull-up! So that’s pretty much my whole personality now. Also, CABIN is still at the top of new releases in #horror anthologies on Amazon, which is pretttttty rad

🎉🎉🎉

Cancer being the crab sign can’t be a coincidence

Happy #Caturday from my little wingless batcat!

Top 50 in American Horror on the zon! So unreal as an indie author. Thank you to everyone in the horror community who's supported us so far, it's so freaking cool and deeply appreciated. <3

Mary, you have great taste 🦇♥️

I was on Reddit today, going through the book recommendations.
It's quite fun.
I don't recommend my own. I recommend other authors instead. And I know for a fact that one Bluesky author just maybe got a sale.
Or got new eyes on their work anyway. I'm happy.

Hey hey! I'm Michael, I write queer cosmic and supernatural horror.

Just one??? It's a tough call, but I think my answer is Nadja from What We Do in the Shadows. Sure, it's comedy, but she is also absolutely happy to kill. I like vamps to have a monster and a human side.

Great job hosting #HorrorWritersChat, Mary. A few days ago, I posted a story for the #ShadowBoxArchives involving an eldritch horror and an old lady driving. It's paywalled now, but it becomes free on Sunday, link below. If anyone wants to read it before then, you have to become at least a 5$ tier.

What Lurks: A Cryptid Anthology THIS IS A PREORDER. You will receive a link with your ebook from BookFunnel on August 29th, 2025.

Thank you Mary for hosting! Loved the questions. 🧛‍♀️
The next Graveside Press anthology releases next month. Theme: cryptids!

Sometimes when I feel stuck with a piece it can help to get into a discussion about it with friends—I truly love my friends’ brains—. When that’s not an option just sitting down with a book, a videogame or whatever it is that caters to my weekly obsessions will do the trick:)

Thanks for running the chat this week, @marywyrd.bsky.social!

My latest dystopian culinary grief novel, WHERE THE SOUL GOES, is having its cover reveal and pre-order announcement at 6 PM EST/3PM PST. Influenced by Anthony Bourdain, Simon Stalenhag, and Hunter S. Thompson!

Engaging with any and all art forms, really. Movies, music, games, books, visual art, people watching at IRL work, eavesdropping in public convos (shhh lmao).

I struggle a lot with taking breaks to replenish, despite knowing it's a must to prevent burnout and lack of "flow".

#HorrorWritersChat

Well, #HorrorWritersChat, since I mentioned it earlier. Here's The Blood We Choose

#HorrorWritersChat

Thank you @marywyrd.bsky.social!

The horror anthology I'm in is the number 1 new release on Amazon for the last couple of weeks--it would be awesome if some of the incredibly talented folks on this chat have a chance to check it out! Great meeting everyone!

Dude--congrats!!! :)

Hello #HorrorWritersChat

It's me! Yanni! I am all over the spectrum when it comes to writing horror, but I do adore splatterpunk.

My favorite vampire? Eric Northman.

#horrorwriterschat

I had to skip out for a day job call, but closing in with the outro: spending time outside, ideally in the woods. Walking, running, hiking. Always have great ideas there. One of the best being to just go full cottagecore, build myself a little cabin and never leave (so tempting!)

I'm Rebecca Cantrell and I write thriller horror, including some with vampires in it. I co-wrote THE BLOOD GOSPEL with James Rollins and I like the animal vampires we created there, particularly the bats who could send images to their creator who was trapped in a cave for decades #horrorwriterschat

Hello everyone. I'm Tom Coombe, a writer of short horror/weird stories based in the Lehigh Valley region of Pennsylvania, USA.

It's very hard to pick a favorite vampire, so let's go with Kurt Barlow in Salem's Lot (the novel) and Gary Oldman's take on Dracula.

#HorrorWritersChat

Bitey bitey! Ooh what a question!

Hi all, I am Eryn, I'm a horror writer, mostly psychological and Gothic.
My favourite vampire... probably Carmilla.
Although I'm quite fond of one I'm ghost writing just now!

#HorrorWritersChat

Hello, #HorrorWritersChat!

I’m Tashi and I love adding my own spin on yokai tales for MG and YA.

Well, I have to blame my mom for getting me hooked on the Vampire Chronicles series by Anne Rice.

But I also miss the silly vampires from What We Do in the Shadows.

I'm Abigail. I write slow burn, gothic, & grief horror often historical settings. Usually I say I don't like vampires but somehow I keep reading books & watching shows featuring them. (I'm looking at you Sinners!)

Atl from "Certain Dark Things" is one of the best vamps!
#HorrorWritersChat

Hey #HorrorWritersChat

I'm Nick, and I love to write historical horror or horror that blends with fantasy/sf.

As for my vanpires... I like 'em monstrous and ancient. Think House of Ashes (Dark Pictures game) or Midnight Mass (show)

Or the ones in Blindsight by Peter Watts

#HorrorWritersChat

Hi, I'm Blair. I'm a comic creator who recently found himself working on and writing a lot of horror comics.

And I'm torn with the Universal Lugosi Dracula, and the more extreme Nosferatu designs.
