Rami Ungar the Writer
@ramiungarwriter.bsky.social
I am the author of six books, including Symphony for Walpurgis, The Pure World Comes, and Rose. You can find me at my website, www.ramiungarthewriter.com. Querying "The Shape of Evil."
I don't think I needed more motivation to finish that novel. But if I did, I definitely found it today. Good night and pleasant nightmares, everybody. #WritingCommunity #HorrorSky
Rami Ungar the Writer@ramiungarwriter.bsky.social · 5h agoGreat start to the next chapter of the mummy novel. And speaking of which, a writer friend told me today that they're working on a mummy story as well. Hopefully both of us can finish our own and then someday read the other. #WritingCommunity #HorrorSky

Fun fact: the "urban" part of "urban legends" doesn't mean they all take place in an urban setting. (After all, how many have you heard that take place in suburban, rural, or wild settings?) So, why call them that? 1/2

Mary Wyrd (she/her)@marywyrd.bsky.social · 14h agoIt’s the FOURTH and FINAL DAY of the (fictional) Horror Writers Chat Conference. It’s award time, and ** drumroll ** you’ve won an award! Speech!! Speech!! Q4: #HorrorWritersChat - Who do you thank for helping you get this far in your horror writing career?
#HorrorWritersChat Thanks for a great chat, everyone! My story THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR appears in THE LIZZIE BORDEN HOUSE ANTHOLOGY. It's about the bed and breakfast's hauntings, but not how you'd think. www.amazon.com/Lizzie-Borde...
Obviously I couldn't do what I do without the love and support of @exaltxix.bsky.social But I also can't thank @sorenhaxan.bsky.social and @0plus2equals1.bsky.social for being the best peers anyone could hope for. I have endless admiration for you two and you inspire me every day #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat Even though he's known more as a sci-fi writer, I'd love to share an author table with Ray Bradbury. He has a fair few horror or horror-adjacent works in his bibliography, PLUS he was also an incredible prolific short story writer 😌
Mary Wyrd (she/her)@marywyrd.bsky.social · 14h agoDAY THREE of the (fictional) Horror Writers Chat Conference. It's time to set out your wares. Your books, your merch...but who is this sitting next to you? Q3: #HorrorWritersChat - Which Horror Writer (living or dead) would you share an author table with? Why?
Thanks for joining us for the first (fictional) Horror Writers Chat Conference! Once you’ve answered the questions and interacted, share your promo with the hashtag #HorrorWritersChat IN THE COMMENTS on this post. Travel safely and don’t forget to keep in touch. Until next time...keep it spooky.
#HorrorWritersChat Q4: I'd like to thank my wife for all her support. Without her help and infinite patience, there is no way I'd be able to balance both writing and a full-time job. She's also a fierce creative in her own right and I look forward to sharing a table with her at a future conference!

I’m not sure if he has a Bluesky, but another Delaware-based horror author named Henry Corrigan. He is openly bisexual, so perhaps he would also be on that panel I mentioned in the last question. Anyway, he’s super nice, so I wouldn’t mind spending a few hours next to him. 🙂 #horrorwriterschat

Oh, wow, thank you for the award!! I would thank my friends and family acting as sounding boards for my writing ideas, and then I would thank anyone who specifically helped with the piece that won me the award, such as editors. #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat @roseblack2222.bsky.social for being an awesome ARC reader and leaving amazing reviews I just made a huge thread about this actually for a different prompt game! --> bsky.app/profile/vamp...

#HorrorWritersChat I would love to HOST a panel about the horror of an irrevocable decision: a mistake that cannot be undone, words that cannot be unspoken, straddling the line between tragedy and horror.
Mary Wyrd (she/her)@marywyrd.bsky.social · 14h agoDAY TWO of the (fictional) Horror Writers Chat Conference! You’re heading to a panel about your favourite horror subject. Q2: #HorrorWritersChat - What would your ideal horror conference panel be about? Who would be on that panel?
Hey everyone! Im Pete, write Gothic / Weird stories with an emphasis on underlying political conditions. WIP currently about a dead body found in a hotel room, and the junior night porter who gets locked in with it... #horrorwriterschat
Mary Wyrd (she/her)@marywyrd.bsky.social · 15h agoGlad you could make it! Welcome to the (fictional) Horror Writers Chat Conference 🖤✨ It’s DAY ONE and you’re in an elevator with other guests… Q1: #HorrorWritersChat - Introduce yourself, your horror, and give an "elevator pitch" for your latest horror book/WIP (Work In Progress).
All of the people on #HorrorWritersChat, of course.

I'd thank my mother for all the unsupervised reading, and my uncles for the books and comics they left laying around :-) #HorrorWritersChat

I 'd love a panel about the horror of manners/hospitality. I know @/tlbodine and @/alexpagliuca have really interesting thoughts on this (not tagging because I've already drawn them into chats about this). But I find it fascinating - when Cringe is so intense it tips into horror. #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat Satan. "Oh, not editors, or maybe your mentors/teachers?" Nope, I sold my soul to become a great writer, and it was worth it. Let me tell ya. My books have already collected several million souls for him!

I would need an entire BOOK of Thank Yous 😂 Definitely the #HorrorWritersChat community for further encouraging me to be a horror creator, then my mother, and then my closest friends and loved ones who stood by me and supported me all the way!

#HorrorWritersChat Having been placed aside a wide range of folks at different conventions over the years (horror and other), I'd make the first move to introduce myself and find stuff to talk about during those long stretches between people coming over to our tables...

That is going to be a very long list. Especially if it's for something other than a particular book or story. But, for sure, I would have to mention the people who follow me, support, and even read/review my stories. AKA mu Followers of Fear. #HorrorWritersChat

It's really hard to pick. I grew up reading a lot of Stephen King. It'd be unbelievable to share a table with him. However, I feel like I would have a weirder, better conversation with Clive Barker Really, I'm just basing this off of who I'd rather hang out with and talk to #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat Oh, let me sit next to Alan Moore. Even if I don't sell a thing, I'll at least get to hang out with a modern-day wizard.

#HorrorWritersChat Q3 Tough one... As for living, I'd definitely share my author table with @authorpcorrell.bsky.social because of just how beautiful her storytelling is and @aptshadow.bsky.social because, you know, SPIDERS! And from among those no longer with us, Mary Shelley and HG Wells.

Sitting next to the long-dead Bram Stoker would probably get a lot of people over to my table. #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat Any of you so we could make friends and everything, I guess? Otherwise...err...can’t say most authors I love are great persons or great company, so just anyone pleasant with cool ideas will do, really.

#HorrorWritersChat Edgar Allan Poe. We'd gossip about Rufus Griswold, his literary rival who lied about his life. We'd also drink his family's egg nog recipe since the holidays approach. I grew up in Baltimore where he died. Been to his grave and house. He's my favorite writer of all time.
