Devilishly creepy, this is a great Halloween-time story if you're wanting something seasonally grotesque and dark. I enjoyed @doriansinnott.com's descriptions of autumn, the darkness of the cemetery and the world-building that brings these characters together for a particularly gruesome night.
Ah yes. We've reached the point of the summer retail season where our skeleton crew will stay half an hour late because one person absolutely needs to browse like their life depends on it.
There are still many amazing writers of horror out there publishing increasingly stellar titles without selling their souls to AI. Aren't sure where to start? Read these folks: @nicole.mann.writer @emroy.bsky.social @crossedmoss @samanthaeatonwrites @viggyparhampton @micahcastle.com 🧵

I've just started Out of Curiosity and Hunger by @amandamblake.bsky.social. There is such a brilliant, layering quality to this so far. Listening to Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel on audiobook. What books are you reading as we head into August?

Yesterday, I posted on my blog about access and privacy, particularly in the case of how readers and fans interact with writers in personal settings. This is something I've struggled with: telling folks 'no' or asking them to respect my privacy whether it's in online spaces or in my day-to-day life.
Don't touch anything. DICHOTOMY arrives March 30th, 2027. Pre-order the hardcover right now in my shop: www.katherinesilvaauthor.com/shop/dichoto...
Everytime I watch Steven Spielberg's Hook, nostalgia grips me. God, I love this film.
To celebrate 10 years of writing, I wrote 10 short horror stories for my collection, DEATH IN ITS MANY FORMS, themed around the ways we die and what comes after... #booksky Request an ARC through BookSirens: booksirens.com/book/SEXVNR7... Add it on Goodreads: www.goodreads.com/book/show/25...

Been a fan of @sammytotep.bsky.social since his SABBATH OF THE FOX-DEVILS. His deceptively straightforward writing style economically but vividly explores recurring themes of grief and alienation, of devouring corporate (in every sense of the word) interests, of a world permanently misaligned.

This was so much fun to do the first time that I decided to do another version of #meetmein5! I also couldn't decide on just 5 video games (because I love these all too much). What do we have in common? Which of these things resonates with you? Leave me a comment!
It's FINALLY here! Ever since Tormentum Dark Sorrows released in 2015, I've been dying for a sequel. It's been a grueling 11 years waiting but today, OhNoo Studios has released Tormentum II. I was inspired in part by Tormentum when I wrote The Wild Dark and, its sequel, The Wild Fall.

Delighted to share the UK cover of Exhumation. Early reviews are calling this my best one yet. I think it's certainly my most ambitious. Out in October! Preorder if you can!
I sent out my first early copies of DICHOTOMY to a few friends yesterday. Oh, hey, there's that anxiety disorder manifesting itself. Cue the random screaming.
Unsolicited writing advice, no. 3842: Look at your protagonist. Are they active or passive? Weak characters have things happen to them. Strong ones make things happen.
