Thanks for another great #horrorwriterschat everyone. Today I'd like to promote Bruce Springsteen's new song Streets of Minneapolis. It chronicles some real life horror. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWKS...

The fens shiver. Baleful green fires sprout out of the burial mound. Hand-shaped roots crawl through the earth. You emerge, a shadow in the entrance, a burning dagger, and a burning head, in your hands. Your vengeance continues… next week. #HorrorWritersChat

Art by Nele Diel, a German artist. They’re depicting a burial mound entrance socketed into an old, mossy hill. The entrance is made of stone, and above it, a gnarly-looking skull can be seen. Two more such skulls are on plinths in front of the entrance. Image Text: The fens shiver. Baleful green fires sprout out of the burial mound. Hand-shaped roots crawl through the earth.

Hi. I’m Ian. I write bloody awful horror films. The part of me that’s the darkest is the part that writes scenes where people fornicate, defecate and elongate. #cringe

The mound’s warm innards thrum as you descend. A huge, stone slab is ahead, shining with portent. Eyes, older than words, behold you from the darkness. A question emerges. Tell us who you are, what do you write, and what part of yourself do you consider the darkest? #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat You know the drill. If you've not participated I won't allow your quote to stay up. Those who chat, promo. Come and chat next time. Do better. Repost each other. Lift each other up. It's what Matt always did for us all, tirelessly. Now we keep it going. Reposting. Wrong image.

I don't have any specific examples, but I watched horror movies from a very young age, and honestly the music was probably what creeped me out more than anything else. I try to simulate that in my writing by coupling unsettling sounds with the character's physiological reactions. #HorrorWritersChat

Q3, #HorrorWritersChat. Us writers are weird creatures. We can't help but shake and quake over a perfect line, but all the senses will get you, if you're open to it. And music is a story in the ears. Just like a perfume is a story for the nose. But can you translate it into writing? Do you?

#HorrorWritersChat Have you heard the final boss music from the very first Silent Hill game? Not my favourite - that would be Silent Hill 4's fight with Walter in the big blood room music - but good God my nerves were rattled Imagine being an active dentist drill left on inside a garbage can

Rami Ungar the Writer@ramiungarwriter.bsky.social · 11mo ago

Hello #HorrorWritersChat! My name is Rami Ungar, I write horror and dark fantasy, and it really depends. Sometimes it's 80s music, sometimes it's musical soundtracks, occasionally it's ASMR videos on YouTube. The story will usually dictate what I'm listening to. Just as long as it's not silence!

Q1. #HorrorWritersChat, you know what to do. No links. Not till the end. No sneaky promo. Just lots of lovely lovely chat.

Rebecca Cantrell@rebeccacantrell.bsky.social · 11mo ago

Rebecca Cantrell here. I write horror, mystery, thriller, comedy, whatever is shiny right this minute. When I was under contract, I was more restrained. I'm listening to Christmas music and writing Christmasy things. With blood. Otherwise I make playlists based on era and mood. #horrorwriterschat

I'm Eryn, I write the horror. I rarely listen to music when writing: and if I do, it has to have no words in it. Mostly I listen to soundtracks, or slowed down ones, slowed down Interstellar is good. Or brown, green noise. Or nothing. I can throw down a lot of words in silence. #HorrorWritersChat

What scares my male characters the most is loss. Regardless of their alignment, fear of loss directs their actions: + Loss of face amongst male peers/the powerful means one holds on to power at any cost. + Fear of losing loved ones means another will go feral to protect them. #HorrorWritersChat

Q4 is up. Ten minutes to outro and the promo: I am still working my way through. You're all wonderful busy bees today and I adore you! This one is a little easier. No archetypes! #HorrorWritersChat

What scares your male characters the most - and what does that reveal about the masks they wear?
