I have a fun story about a prog band named Brujah that rocks so hard they rip a hole through space time in this fantastic anthology from DefConOne Publishing. If not strictly horror, at least horror adjacent. The whole anthology is a delight. #HorrorWritersChat www.defconone.com/book/battlin...

Thanks #HorrorWritersChat for another great one! I'm reading from three stories for a book sale at a local witchcraft shop for Halloween. One is FOG OVER MONS, my WWI Angels of Mons story. I'm also reading my Lizzie Borden story THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR. Another historical! Third is a fantasy comedy. 📚

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.

Lawrence Harding (she/her) 🏳️‍⚧️@lhardingwrites.bsky.social · 11mo ago

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

I use many aspects of my life in my stories, little snippets, but in Five Turns of the Wheel I gave Megan the trauma of a pretty violent miscarriage I suffered years back. Every word spoken to her by docs is real. Got angry all over again as I wrote it! #HorrorWritersChat

Making it personal. Q3: #HorrorWritersChat - In what ways has your own history (past) impacted or inspired your horror writing? Examples: giving a character your childhood trauma, reimagining an experience with a different ending.

Sharing snippets from 1876 Stories of a Vintage Year, written by Wrexham Writers Group. Proceeds go to support Wrexham's literary festival Carnival of Words. Today, it's one of my stories in the book. This is "Blind Faith" celebrating anniversary of rehanging of bells of St Giles. #booksky

Shows church of St Giles on the right. On the left is cover of 1876 Stories of a Vintage Year and pre-order date of 15th August below a red dragon. Above book cover is a snippet: 'As he took another hesitant step forward, hoping he was nowhere near the mine shafts dotted about the vicinity, he wished he could something, anything - even the bells which had tormented his days and nights. On cue, a bell rang out ahead of him. Quiet, barely discernible, but definitely a bell. He took another step.'
