when you randomly wrote about a siren and a pirate captain who saves her from men who want to eat her…now you’re figuring out these characters names on a wednesday evening

![Fury rose up my throat like a serpent and set my mouth watering with its venom. My limbs trembled but I was locked in place by the two women who depended on me in order to remain upright. I killed [redacted] a dozen ways in the seconds which followed, each fantasy more gruesome than the last, until finally my mother broke away. Her eyes were swollen and she forced a smile as she caught my hand before it could reach the handle of my axe. Ever the votarist of caution, she said, “only a fool strikes before the enemy’s numbers are revealed.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jfuntse7ux7xpnmla53p74ts/bafkreiggjykiohpfv577jfn7pjkjkjbybaqsxxfh4be4z2tsrwgq5d3rze)

so, i always say that evil dead rise is an inspiration for my book - but i’ve never talked about the MOST important inspiration, the very thing that started my love for Romanian folklore in general. Resident Evil Village, at first i fell in love with Alcina Dimitrescu, yes (1/2)
i read carmilla and now have some more inspiration for the vibes of my story and i’m IN LOVEEEE
the vibes of my sapphic Romanian folklore inspired horror book that i am trying to achieve 🩸
i got so busy after posting stuff about my story but you guys got me so excited to post more stuff here about it 🥹
honestly, i’d go back to the first time i read one of countess’s stories!! she is the reason why i’m so into folklore now and i wouldn’t have it any other way. her writing truly inspired me beyond belief and i am grateful to be her writing buddy @countess-sappho.bsky.social #HorrorWritersChat
Countess Sappho is Viking Posting 23/7@countess-sappho.bsky.social · 6mo agoQ4: Some of you have touched on this already but: In your opinion, what is something that was so well executed that it's on a level all its own? That, if you could, you'd go back in time to experience all over again? Tag the creator if they're on here! #HorrorWritersChat
i don’t believe that i would as yellowjackets is good in its own way. there are just certain things from the show that really stuck with me, and the kind of atmosphere it created intrigued me and i knew i wanted to encapsulate that in my story #HorrorWritersChat
Countess Sappho is Viking Posting 23/7@countess-sappho.bsky.social · 6mo agoQ3: It's forever part of you, like it or not... but would you infect others? Pick either your answer to Q1 or a strong influence you listed in Q2! #HorrorWritersChat
sheep are a huge symbol for Romania, and they are also a big symbol in horror as well! the idea that the forest is playing tricks on their minds and these creatures are basically rotting is a bit similar to a scene in yellowjackets where a deer they found when starving was rotten. #HorrorWritersChat
Countess Sappho is Viking Posting 23/7@countess-sappho.bsky.social · 6mo agoQ2: Some of you suspected where this was going already... You've grown strong on foul nectar, and what do you have to show for it? How has the answer to Q1 left its imprint on your writing? #HorrorWritersChat
hey i’m chey (I’M BACK) i am working on a romanian folklore inspired type of horror that is also sapphic! evil dead rise was a huge inspiration at first - now more recently some aspects of yellowjackets have really inspired me for certain things in this story. #HorrorWritersChat
Countess Sappho is Viking Posting 23/7@countess-sappho.bsky.social · 6mo agoThis week we're digging deep, down to your gnarled roots... Introduce yourself, what you write, and something nostalgic that really moved you in some way from the horror genre! #HorrorWritersChat
it’s been so long but i miss my lesbians and need to write about them soon or i’m gonna go crazy
when i tell you that my creative spark coming back makes me so happy AHHHHHHHH
Quiet and contemplative, it waits and watches. Day in, day out, it surrounds us - yet it’s ignored endlessly. It soaks into every fiber, every minuscule hair - forlorn organisms scrounge for every drop they can drink up, yet it’s never enough. It’s in the air we breathe. #Horrorwriterschat
Eryn McCee@erynmccee.bsky.social · 9mo agoHere we go, the moment you've all been waiting for. Promo me up. Tell me what you're working on, what you've just released. Repost others. Be generous with that button. And if you've not yet done the chat, go back, answer the questions, then promo. It's the right thing to do. #HorrorWritersChat
i seem to keep putting off certain things in the prologue because i keep hitting walls and have to move past them. i seem to be struggling a bit with it as i have very specific ideas for it #Horrorwriterschat
Eryn McCee@erynmccee.bsky.social · 9mo agoQ3: Here at #HorrorWritersChat we really do like to peel back those insecurities and fears and expose them to the light. You can do this. Which scene do you keep putting off? And why?
anything that has to deal with deep bodies of water or wreckages/crashes. i love everything to do with how creepy it all is, but it’s something that genuinely terrifies me 😅 #Horrorwriterschat
Eryn McCee@erynmccee.bsky.social · 9mo agoQ2. This question is not about the comfortable places that we go with horror. But the uncomfortable ones. The ones that turn us inside out even as we write them. The ones that make us wonder who we are, at the end. #HorrorWritersChat
chey here, working on sapphic folk horror. the biggest thing than draws me to folklore is just the fact that there are so many mysteries in the world, and delving into a world of creatures and stories that people believed to be real just makes it all the more creepy #Horrorwriterschat
Eryn McCee@erynmccee.bsky.social · 9mo agoOK, so here we go, #HorrorWritersChat bods. You know the drill. Four questions, repost as many as you like, no links: promo at the end. First I want to know. What makes you write the kind of horror that you write?
feeling very creative today and am so excited i could run into the forest with muma pădurii
