Greetings, #HorrorWritersChat! Today I'm guest-hosting, so buckle up. 😈 Question One: Introduce yourself, the horror you write, and share the monster that frightens (or once frightened) you most! It can be a general type, or something specific.

 Question 1: Introduce yourself, the horror you write, and share the monster that frightens (or once frightened) you most!

Save your self promo for the outro (after answering the questions). Please LIKE, SHARE, and COMMENT on other posts.

I think it's more about what makes the monster. A creature can't help being what it is, but we define it as a monster because it is a danger to us. It gives a lot of scope to explore aspects of nature and our own fears. Frankenstein is a perfect example of that. #HorrorWritersChat

#horrorwriterschat I've been seeking inspiration for new monsters reading folklore encyclopedias, books about nature and animals, and books on creature design from a drawing perspective. My favorite monster has to be Pennywise from IT (shoutout to Tim Curry), but there are so many great ones.

Solid at first, it reached out to me, showed me a face & then hid, then another face on another limb. Peek-a-boo, I see you, whispered that darkness, pulling me into its game, sinking into my skin that was no skin, devouring every particle. In the shadows, I coalesced ... #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat Q3: Finish the prompt - "A cry trembled from the shadows like rattling keys, and as I waited, a figure coalesced from out the darkness."
