So, I wrote this book, and I’m pretty proud of it. It’s an interactive horror story called Hare-Raising Summer. It’s a little creepy, a little scary, a little cheesy, and hopefully a lot of fun. I hope you’ll check it because I totally want to write more of them. www.cateyepress.com/store/p/hare...

Think I may have just cracked a short story that I’ve been working on. Fingers crossed it works out!

Always fun to participate in these, thank you. Lock the Last Door is pretty strictly historic cosmic horror. A tale of an abandoned house, a trans PI, and a mob boss that worships eldritch gods. In other words: Cthulhu Mythos noir, if you enjoy that. vincentlore.itch.io/lock-the-las...

#horrorwriterschat @allisfullofgore.bsky.social 4th zine coming at the end of the month! Presale soon, but if you fancy checking out the best queer horror writers to do the dang thing our 1st 3 issues here allisfullofgore.myshopify.com Also, follow us for unhinged theories, hot takes, & good times

Thanks Mary! #HorrorWritersChat if all this historical horror talk has you in the mood for some, try "The Pure World Comes." It's the story of a maid in Victorian England who goes to work for a mad scientist. And it oozes Victoriana! www.amazon.com/Pure-World-C... #HorrorSky #BookSky

A great topic this week, #HorrorWritersChat! As for promo - something I haven't mentioned on bluesky at all yet! Uncanny+Uncouth anthology, releasing Oct 1, is looking for ARC readers! It's gothic themes overall, there is a mix of genres. (I have 2 stories in!) docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Thank you, Mary! Wanna glimpse of my kinda horror? Well, you're in luck, #HorrorWritersChats! Step right up. mybook.to/AllsWell

New formats of Little White Flowers and Hallowed Deadly Seeds coming soon! LWF is getting a large print release in September, while HDS is getting a hardcover release and a large print release. Pre-order links on my website: www.amberhathaway.com #HorrorWritersChat

Poltergeist with all the modern tech. Imagine being sucked into an Alexa and you hear that little girl's voice? Your Alexa just starts saying, "Mommy, I can't hear you, Mommy!" *shudders* Or maybe Pazuzu as an influencer. Captain Howdy's make-up game is on point. #HorrorWritersChats

Oh, this is a fun one! Hmmm...how about The Grudge in Meiji Restoration Japan? You would have a rapidly modernizing Japan, as well as numerous foreigners, coming across this curse and falling prey to it despite their "modern sensibilities" and whatnot. Ooh, somebody make that! #HorrorWritersChat.

#HorrorWritersChat How about Halloween set during the Gold Rush in the Yukon? Or The Shining set during the Ming Dynasty? Dog Soldiers set in Ancient Rome featuring centurions?

#HorrorWritersChat Scream in Victorian London... maybe written as a Sherlock Holmes type mystery, but with more gore as befitting a slasher. Add a gothic twist with a governess being the one menaced by the masked killer perhaps, in a grand old estate?

Q4: #HorrorWritersChat Oh this is DANGEROUS. Dracula in the Wild West. Frankenstein Wild West. SAW in the Wild West. I think every horror IP would be well served placed in an Old West setting. You can't prove that it COULDN'T. Also, I call dibs on all of these. Just, you know, in case.

#HorrorWritersChat off the top of my head, but it would be fun to see Chucky in a puritanical US setting. Probably be made of cloth and still have the possessed by a serial killer angle, but I think adding a layer of the time period’s “stop the lies, you’re demonic, child!” would be interesting.

#HorrorWritersChat over the course of writing a bunch of (mostly unfinished) short stories, I’ve explored some of things that have scared/haunted me over the years. Think car “stuff” is always a hard thing for me and becomes situations in my stories from time to time.

We are certianly in a golden age of horror fiction right now. Not exactly starved for great books to read!

Depends on the story. Sometimes much of their past doesn't matter, but sometimes their past is what defines them. I have an unpublished story about an old detective who stumbled onto some cult stuff when he was younger. That experience ended up defining the rest of his life #HorrorWritersChat

For me, horror is ALL about the past. Things we've neglected and forgotten, hidden secrets, echoes of past regrets. While I do enjoy some "fear of what's coming" horror, as a historian, there's just so much to mine in history. We all live atop a graveyard of tragedy and horror. #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat It really depends. I don’t do extensive backstories for my characters or anything like that. Most of the time, I think I just try to provide enough context for their actions, if that makes sense.

#HorrorWritersChat I write fairytales, ecohorror, religious horror, Arctic horror, & weird shit. Historical horror I love: Kindred by Octavia Butler Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by Stephen Graham Jones

Hello, I'm Vivian and I write horror, various. Historical fiction is always good. For me The Exorcist, The Terror. I am sure I have read more but these came to mind rather quick. Coyote Songs is also a good one. #HorrorWritersChats

Hi. I'm Anna. I write mostly cosmic and eco-horror. I adored Dark Matter by Michelle Paver and The Reformatory by Tananarive Due. #HorrorWritersChat

Greetings #HorrorWritersChat I’m Mary, writing cosmic, gothic, and weird horror from Greater Manchester (UK). Three fave historical horror stories are: THE HUNGER by @almakatsu.bsky.social THE BUFFALO HUNTER HUNTER by @stephengrahamjones.com VICTORIAN PSYCHO by Virginia Feito #HorrorSky

Hi #HorrorWritersChat! I’m A.C. and I write what I call “fun” horror. I’m a huge fan of Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. Also really enjoyed the Daughter of Dr. Moreau.

I'm Amber from central Maine. I write all kinds of horror, most with cults or ghosts. My favorite historical horror is Mexican Gothic. #HorrorWritersChat

Thanks for hosting! I liked the theme this week. The poetry collection I referenced in question 2: Solitary Tree and other poems. A bit less horror and a bit more melancholy in this collection compared to my second one, but full of nature references. #HorrorWritersChat books2read.com/u/bzaAV9

Cool theme, thank you, Artemis! When I get the time to join in on #HorrorWritersChat, I do hope it brings new readers to my work, as well as others. My collection has been out since Halloween, and I'd love new eyes. Let my stories take root in your veins. Thank you! mybook.to/AllsWell

Your breath stalls, replaced by drinking in the bright sunlight above. Your body stills, the flowers shivering as you integrate with their bed. The next person to come along hopefully will not touch. Thank you for sticking with me as your guest host, #HorrorWritersChat ! Comment promos below!

#HorrorWritersChat my favorite is probably… the ghost plant (dun dun dun). 👻 Monotropa uniflora doesn’t have chlorophyll, doesn’t photosynthesize, is parasitic, and can be toxic to humans (according to Wikipedia haha).

The roots dig deeper into my veins, foxgloves sprouting from my skin. Maybe now I can join her forever. We're all connected in the soil, the dead are buried in it after all, and now I'm connected. #HorrorWritersChat Q3
