I’m three chapters into the book I got in the Utah Horror Writers bloody elephant book exchange, and it’s absolutely delightful so far. I’ll report back on whether it sticks the landing later. Anyone else indulging in some holiday horror? 📚 😱 #booksky

It's time again #HorrorWritersChat! Tune in to answer four fun questions about you and your work! 2PM EST, 7PM UK

I WANT YOUR STORIES! Latin American Shared Stories | Call for Submissions - We want your stories for our new title in our Beyond & Within series: Latin American Shared Stories ✨ Edited by the one and only @vlatinalondon Deadline is the 15th December 2024 blog.flametreepublishing.com/fantasy-gothic

I've updated the #HorrorWritersChat feed to ask people refrain from using the tag for anything else. If you're promoting horror books, I strongly recommend using this string of emojis 💙📚👀📢📚😱 That's all emojis for both general book feeds, and for horror feeds. Fewer characters and greater reach.

My starter pack needs more space than the 150 allotted so I’ll make a part two of horror folk, creatives, and evil doers. Also, why does Bluesky allow me to change the title of the pack but the graphic still says “horror writers”. Anyways, go celebrate these artists go.bsky.app/QBuj23L

Go grab a copy of LONG DIVISION with stories by (me 🙀), Eric LaRocca, Chuck Palahniuk, Ai Jiang, Gary Braunbeck, Clay MacLeod Chapman, Zoje Stage, Alex Grecian, Lora Senf, Eugen Bacon, Anna Taborska ++ more badhandbooks.com/preorders/lo...

Just finished playing through Thank Goodness You’re Here with a friend this fine Thanksgiving Eve. It’s hilarious, weird, and genuinely as much fun to watch as to play. Took us about 2 hours to play it all the way through, and I laughed out loud the entire time. Five stars / 10 bob.

After visiting and becoming enamored with Astoria, OR, I set my gothic supernatural grief horror novella in one of Astoria’s gorgeous Queen Anne Victorians. The smell of the rain, the lumbering energy of the cargo ships on the river, the SEAFOOD - I love that town. #HorrorWritersChat

Love that this place is so much about art instead of hate.

Hi, I'm Beverley Lee and I'm a dark fiction writer from the UK. My work specialises in atmosphere and the build up of dread, and is entirely character driven. This week I've been working on a new story, codenamed Birds, which is a folk horror/dark fantasy/revenge tale. #HorrorWritersChat

Hello, I'm Catherine McCarthy, a dark fiction author from Wales. If you want gothic rather than gore, then I'm your girl. This week I've been editing my forthcoming novella, Death of a Clown, the metaphorical tale of an outsider.🤡 #HorrorWritersChat.

I can answer this. YES. Caryn is awesome and her stories are awesome and you should read them! The Soul Searchers series has cats and ghosts!

#HorrorWritersChat question 2: Describe a time when you used a real setting in a horror work, or a time one of your story settings was based on a real place. P.S. Don’t forget to include the tag when reposting! (and that's me out, Louise @moonlitwriting.bsky.social is doing the other two Qs)

I’m Caryn, and I write horror blended with mysteries (sometimes more on the cozy end, sometimes decidedly not, nearly always with cats and ghosts). I’ve been re-plotting my new witchy thriller that I’m seriously behind on with hopes of catching back up over the long weekend. #HorrorWritersChat

I'll be dusting off the ol' clackity-clackity-clack spinning prize wheel for Utah Authors Day this year because it's been a YEAR and I could use some extra noise and color in my life right now. Come see me if you're in the Wasatch Front. Let's talk about books and ghosts and cats. 💙📚 #horrorwriter
