being a cat person is so crazy bc you live with someone who is undeniably annoying and you're always thinking "maybe i should get another cat"

Happy #caturday from Hanna Belle the Cannonball, her capybara, and the paw scrapes she left on the window from trying to commune with the crows in the yard!

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

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

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.

Sometimes when I feel stuck with a piece it can help to get into a discussion about it with friendsβ€”I truly love my friends’ brainsβ€”. 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".

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!
