Something ✨crooked✨ this way comes. @ghostinherpen.bsky.social brings us a twisted #HanselAndGretel origin story with dark magic and darker secrets to Not Your Ever After, an Anthology of Crooked Fairy Tales. docs.google.com/forms/u/2/d/... #fantasy #scifi #sff #indieauthor #arc #fairytale 📚💙🖊️

Image is white text over a black background. It reads "all that glitters is not gold, charlie morgan" "Her mother always said the fae were dangerous, wicked things. But Eira had never seen a fae, and as far as she was aware, they only existed in bedtime stories. Tucked between thick pages and dried ink, the biggest threat they posed was heavy eyelids, hungry for sleep." "featured in not your ever after" "coming November 6th"

image is text over a sparkly black background. it reads "code red, c. p. ashton" "Scarlet scowled at the objectively punchable face of Logan O’Connell—all twelve of them. The entire wall was lined with televisions, and Logan was on every single one as he prepared to hold an emergency press conference. She was far too hungover and not nearly caffeinated enough to deal with his bullshit this morning." "featured in not your ever after" "coming November 6th"

My entry for #WIPSnips - Scrub

Red moon over trees. Text Says “and even though I would anger my mother, Gwen would come. She always does. But she doesn’t have the power to scrub the crimson stains from my millennial gray couch. I need someone who can destroy the macabre painting I’ve created.”

Hi 👋 I’m Charlie. I write fantasy horror, always mixing magic and the grotesque. So what if a secret society of witches participated a series of trials to sacrifice their own to an ancient god in exchange for power and magic?

NIGHT SKY - A Mary Wyrd premade book cover. Four arrows are pointing at it saying: your title; your book?; your name; your tagline. www.marywyrd.com - The title Night Sky is in an allcaps font made of a glowing outline. The background is a building surrounded by trees in the bottom third, the rest is the night sky with green lights. A multicolored wavy line runs through the image.

THE HORRORS OF US is a genre bending fantasy with witches, violent and fast paced trials, and an FMC who just doesn’t give a damn. #WIP #writing #horrorbook

Charlie Writes Horror @ghostinherpen.bsky.social · last yr.

My current draft is messiest first draft I’ve ever written. I think because it’s my 5th and I know it’s all on the chopping block and not permanent because I still gotta edit it.

Georgina Kiersten @ingloriousgigi.bsky.social · last yr.

Be honest? How bad was your first draft? My first draft was a mess of placeholders and run-on sentences.

Charlie Writes Horror @ghostinherpen.bsky.social · last yr.

Anyone writing today? What’s your goal? #writing

Charlie Writes Horror @ghostinherpen.bsky.social · last yr.

Set out to write a witchy horror novel dripping with blood. Ended up writing about the horrors of troubled mom + daughter relationships. #writing #horror #horrorbooks

Text over a bed reads “it cannot be compared to the gaping valleys carved into a heart whose only defect was wanting to be loved by her mother”

Meg @megsteadman.bsky.social · last yr.

This is a call for #betareaders on my WIP! Looking for members of the #writingcommunity who would be available in November. Gaslamp fantasy, expected ~150k words. I can offer money, a read swap, or an art commission as payment. Leave a comment or DM if you are interested!

AHS 3 X Squid Games X Fall of House Usher Quinn, a witch with questionable mental health, and history of unaliving people—is forced to participate in a series of archaic trials on the solar eclipse by her mother, Charlotte in exchange for help covering up the most recent murder scene.

What’s the difference between fantasy horror and dark fantasy? Trying to figure out what genre my book is… #books #writing

Charlie Writes Horror @ghostinherpen.bsky.social · last yr.

My current place list for my fantasy horror (or is it dark fantasy?) for my WIP in progress. I hit 15K in it yesterday. Hoping to be at 20K by Friday. #writing #writingprogress

Charlie Writes Horror @ghostinherpen.bsky.social · last yr.

There an a massive southern gothic house that groans loudly in the wind. Quinn would probably shepherd them to her mother so they could eat her instead. #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat Question 3: Hi. Still Ian. Can't rid of me that easily. There's a new question in the image. Quote post, and don't forget to include the hashtag!

Charlie Writes Horror @ghostinherpen.bsky.social · last yr.

Hi 👋 I’m Charlie. I tend to write a blend of horror and fantasy. I can’t write horror without some fantastical elements. I write horror because it feels like coming home after trying several other genres. I’m a 90’s kid, so I think Goosebumps— Evil Lawn Gnomes. #HorrorWritersChat

Ian@deathyboy.bsky.social · last yr.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 1: Hi. I'm Ian. I'm hosting tonight. I'm very jet lagged. Let's start with who you are, what do you write, and why do you write? Then, what weird creature lurks in the dark corners of your very 1980s mind? Quote post, and don't forget to include the hashtag!

#HorrorWritersChat Question 1: Who are you? What do you write? Why do you write? Also... you're in an alley. There's fog everywhere. 80s synth jazz is audible. What creature is lurking in the dark corners of your mind?

don’t name the dead

yellow background with red blood splatter, along top right is a zombie with open mouth teeth growling

3 images of book covers: sister maiden monster has tentacles, orange, knife; the z word has an image of a brain, two femmes kissing, teal hands reaching up, a piece of pizza, an axe; the last of us has a man and a girl turned toward the camera as they walk toward ruins; along the right, text reads: If three queer 20-somethings manage to not get eaten by the pandemic zombies, they’ll still have to dodge a preacher bent on building his post-apocalyptic flock.

Survival shenanigans
Headshots
Hookups
Busted bunker

close up of mount rushmore presidents with light red splatter across the image. text reads: Sami Peil @sampeil
don’t name the dead
Vivvi was getting wasted for her 21st until she woke up in a drunk tank, which was the only protection from the cop zombies trying to eat her brains.

Stetson was painting his nails and avoiding his family's far right extremist bunker party, unaware that the virus they all ignored would mutate, and he’d have to fight his way out.

Dove was home alone in a post-wisdom tooth coma, still dreaming about her hot dentist, while infected people turned and began to eat immune survivors.

The Dentist was doing an after-hours call, where a patient bite transformed him into a flesh craving monster.

They all want each other—but not in the same way.
And they really need to stay the hell away from the Preacher.
