Claire did an amazing introduction to this one! If you need some direction on how to stop using AI in writing, this is for you. (Pssst. Send this one to any friend you think needs it. I promise I'm so so gentle.)

Reading and yes, but lately it's been House of Leaves so the relaxation amount is questionable

✨Nightly affirmations✨ • my house has normal dimensions • my hallways have endings • growling is a normal noise a house makes as it settles

MAY YOU GET EVERYTHING YOU DESIRE!!! I've been looking for an alternative for FOREVER

We love celebrating Tenebrous authors but frankly, we're pretty terrible at celebrating ourselves. So I—Matt—am cashing in my annual Tenebrous self-promotion chip on behalf of Alex & telling y'all: If you❤️what we do, you need TATRATEA. Alex has outdone herself & crafted a Weird masterpiece🖤☠️ Get⬇️

I. Am. So. Excited. My story in this anthology is a cozy sci fi heat fic, featuring a snail-like scientist and their friend, a Terran gardener.

Looks like the vibes are strong with this one! TATRATEA, my weird-eco-gothic-horror-cosmic-SF-post-apocalyptic fever dream of a book is out today, and readers seem to be getting out of it exactly what I was hoping for and more. Thank you for listening. We're all on this one way trip together🌱

Hot people love moonflow!

Nicolas Cage says he’s “probably not” working with Amazon again after refusing to sign AI waiver for “Spider-Noir”: ‘I am not an AI-friendly actor’

Congratulations, bot, on the funniest possible response

This dude rocks and this thing is awesome if you've got fucked up hands like me, or even if you just like weird alternative keyboards. Would love to see him succeed (Not sponsored, this thing just really helps me type on bad days) www.kickstarter.com/projects/in1...

not surprising i guess, people are already getting mad that in "Quaint Folk" there's a sexually attractive fat character, but here's the thing: if they can make you feel bad for being horny, they can control you. don't let hem

Fantastic questions, Eryn! And great answers #HorrorWritersChat! I’d like to share the cover for The Craven Companion, from Crystal Lake Publishing—a nonfiction anthology I edited. It’s got Mick Garris, Stephen Graham Jones, Grady Hendrix and more. I’m so excited to share it with you.

Really loved today's theme! Thanks so much for this. I'm trying to sell 31 books for October as a Hallowe'en thing (if I do, I'm planning to write + publish a short story set in the world of my horror comedy). I'm now behind on sales, so appreciate a boost! steve-westenra.itch.io/the-erstwhil...

Actually, for this one, actual reality did all the planting for me. I just have to harvest. #horrorwriterschat

The harvest was good this year. Too good. These things always came with a price. I sighed and grabbed the mop, bucket, and lye. There was work to be done. #horrorwriterschat

Right now, the MC's sanity is decaying, and it's going to be amazing when she finally snaps 💛🔪 #horrorwriterschat

Heyy I'm Rascal Hartley, I write weird queer horror, and probably a baby. Can't think of anywhere good to randomly find a baby growing. #horrorwriterschat

My hockey romances 🏒♥️ All four are now officially out!
