Tom knew first impressions were important He only had one shot at this Tom had been watching her. Studying her. Loving her He was finally ready When she stepped out of her house, he was waiting She watched as Tom smiled, put the gun to his head, and pulled the trigger #HorrorWritersChat

Every story has an ending, but horror doesn't always have happy ones. Q4: What sort of very short (mouse-sized?) story can you write which has a sting in the tale? #HorrorWritersChat

Most of my monsters are supernatural in nature. They're things that don't, and shouldn't, exist in the natural world. A lot of the time, they're things that prey on humans. A thing that goes bump in the night and hunts us. The predator-prey relationship is often the driving force #HorrorWritersChat

Right, you 'orrible little (James) Herberts. El Gato de Ulthar is hot on your furry little heels, and you're lunch if they get you. Are you a Mrs. Frisby, a Matthias or just plain taking the Mickey? Q3: What do you define as a monster in your horror, and how do you make it work? #HorrorWritersChat

I take everyday places, events, people and detail (to varying degrees) what is on the periphery, emerging from beneath. Something you may well have seen yourself but supressed or forgot. A possible explanation for occasional weirdness you might well have experienced too. #HorrorWritersChat

What is a human world to a little mouse but horror? Q2: How do you make your horror stories horrible? Is it detail, emotion, pathos, fear or even comedy? Or something else? How do YOU make the punters quiver? #HorrorWritersChat

I think I mostly use a mix of detail and dread. Most of my stories don't end well for the characters. "Something very bad is going to happen" is the general vibe a lot of the time. I usually try to include some haunting imagery, too #HorrorWritersChat

Hi all, I'm TLS and I write stories about monsters, paranormal oddities, or just really bad people. I usually like to get a little dark, a bit gross, and just downright spooky #HorrorWritersChat

Good morrow, my dear little vermin. It's the weekly Horror Writers Chat! This week, I will be taking you down a rabbit hole, or to precise, into a mouse hole. Soo-ooo-ooo... Q1: Introduce yourselves, gorge on that Stinking Bishop, and tell us what sort of fiction you write. #HorrorWritersChat

The president of the United States firmly believes that public schools are performing gender affirming surgeries on students That is, by no exaggeration, the dumbest thing I have ever heard in my life, and he's been repeating this claim for years He needs to be removed from office immediately

I'm not really interested in whether or not Mike Flanagan's Carrie is a good adaptation of the book. I loved it. To me, it's a series about kindness. His Carrie White has the sort of kindness that we don't often allow to exist. Really, that's the crux of the show.

I value being kind. I think it's the simplest, best thing we can try to be. Let's just be a little bit kinder to each other. Try to treat each other a little better. Let's try to make a world where somebody like Carrie White can stay kind. Let's try to make a world that deserves somebody like her

She has a kindness that can only exist in isolation. Once she enters the real world, her kindness is beaten, twisted, and maybe even broken. You can't be that nice. People won't allow it. She tries. She tries her hardest to stay kind, but so many people revel in cruelty or coast along in apathy.

It's not a darkly satisfying revenge fantasy. It's a tragedy. One that could have been easily prevented if the people around her were just a bit nicer, if they tried just a little harder to be as kind as she is. Everybody failed Carrie White. The world wasn't good enough for somebody like her

The Pentagon's plan to livestream an execution is fucking disgusting. It is beyond ghoulish. This is the pageantry of a deeply sick government November can't come soon enough. We need to vote The Bastards out
