Thanks, Mary! I love history. If we’re talking historical horror, that’s my haunted house novel to a T! Houdini, Vietnam, 1990’s roiling turmoil, and Afghanistan stop-loss back to back tours…war fucks us all up. But especially inside Backlund House. #HorrorWritersChat

In the House of In Between

The Backlund House is haunted, but no one knows why. No violence has taken place there, no one has died inside its walls. Over the course of a century, what-or who-haunts the storied property remains ...

Thanks for another great #HorrorWritersChat Mary! By the Blood is my most historical horror novella - a vampire priest in 19thC Bavaria protecting his ward from angry mobs and a vampire coven who want to claim her.

By the Blood Ursula's new governor, the mysterious Fr Marcellus, must defend her from accusations of vampirism. He knows they're false. He should know - he's a vampire himself. But the stakes soon rise when the undead also take interest in Ursula. 💙📚 #booksky ko-fi.com/s/6793e39b5b

#HorrorWritersChat Well, both my characters are heightened versions of part of me, and as such, even when I'm not trying to, my own trauma gets imprinted on them

Hi, #HorrorWritersChat! I'm JL, and I write spoopy books for the youths! I don't read historical horror, but I love @leannareneehieber.bsky.social's A Haunted History of Invisible Women! Yeah... most spooky things I read are either "present day" or out of time entirely
