Started our new #Hollows campaign last night, and quickly realized our characters aren't just the most morally unpleasant group we've played... but olfactorily, as well. A fisherman. A resurrectionist. A sewer dweller. And a not-so-talkative corpse. We're calling ourselves the Pungent Posse.

For #HorrorWritersChat: I'm JR Fryer; I write modern cosmic horror and primarily listen to Gothic rock and Industrial, 'cause I'm too damned cheery 🫥

I love editing and writing on a deadline. What I don't love is the chronic zombie nightmares I get while working on a deadline. Seriously, brain, knock that crap off!

Spent last evening seeing the #YourName 10th anniversary showing with a friend. Not only was it gobsmackingly gorgeous on the big screen, I think I had as much fun listening to their laughs, gasps, and crying for the last half hour. I’ll have to revisit the stairs when I return to Tokyo in the fall.

After 54 sessions (2½ RL years), No Gods to Protect Us ended late night. So surreal to say goodbye to these #FabulaUltima characters. Darius. Igraine. Jar'Von. Mellio. Morrow. Sharing tea and goodbyes at the first inn they'd slept in, as life returned to the world they saved from the War of Heaven.

I pray for another season of #SHIBOYUGI: Playing Death Games to Put Food on the Table. It's like an anime studio hired David Lynch to direct Squid Games. It is surreal and savage. Gorgeous and gruesome. Probably too sedate for many, but I relished its cruel beauty and moral ugliness.

Night after my final #ApocalypseKeys session and pining for my character already… Pheme was easily one of the vilest, cruelest, most vain PCs I’ve played. And, gods help me, I loved her 😅 (Seriously never expected licking fear and despair off subway walls would be the least of a PC’s villainies).

Both excited and terrified for GOW: Laufey. Excited 'cause of more reasons than I can list here. Terrified because I anticipate the incoming glut of 'questionable' Phranque (Frank) fan-fic and pics... God bless you, Internet. God bless you...

I’m an old, grumpy geek, who writes cosmic and psychological horror – with a smattering of folk horror, recently. I’d never volunteer for clinical trials dealing with the mind/perception/memory/etc. #HorrorWritersChat

Here we go. Question One, Horrorlings. We're going.... surgical, incisive, precise. Keep your links and promo to the end, please. If you do it, you'll just lose your quote post. You know the craic. #HorrorWritersChat

What was with the Greeks and heels? Talos bled out from his. Hercules had his attacked by a crab. Achilles took an arrow in his. It's like every saga was written by Κουέντιν Ταραντίνο.
