Welp, It's August 4, 2026. If Ray Bradbury ends up being the one to successfully predict the end of the world, I want it on record that I died mad I didn't get my robot mice!

And then they throw in some Celtic languages and yoink bits of languages from around the world along the way. The result: a language where there are usually about 10 different ways to say something, but when it comes to writing, you sit at your desk for 20 minutes trying to think of one 🤣 #amwriting

I've never thought about it before, but I'm now convinced that Sami Rami and Mike Flannagan are the two sides of Stephen King and no...I will not explain that further. #horrorauthor #Samraimi #mikeflanagan #horrorfanatic

Help me out here: does Jason from Friday the 13th have knees? I know he has knee caps, but does he have an actual joint behind them? My partner asked me this and at first I was like "of course he does!" but I can't recall him ever crouching...it seems like he *must* but I can't confirm he *does*

#HorrorWritersChat Question 2 “Monoculture” is one of my published horror shorts that very much features plants! Heavy on the eco-horror, that one “Unintended Designs” actually has a lot of plants for its space station setting, as there’s a large Hydroponics Atrium full of life, including plants
Artemis Quinn 🏳️⚧️🎨📚@vampireantihero.com · 7d agoThe garden is bright and vibrant with a wash of flowers. Oleander. Monkshood. Hydrangea and Mountain Laurel bushes.

The Turning of the Screw is one of those stories where it doesn't matter how many times I read it, I will still have no idea what actually happened. But that's kind of the point!
