#Booksky, if you're in the mood for a short story collection, you might enjoy mine: 17 creepy tales in one volume... Kindle & KU: mybook.to/a86T Paperback: mybook.to/wjUJQzr Bookshop.org: shorturl.at/L8gGu Goodreads: shorturl.at/IY8Qw I'm very proud of every tale. Hope you'll check it out! 😍

Pop over to my goodreads review to see why WYRD DOOR TALES by @robertweaverauthor.bsky.social gets 5💀s. If you haven't read his stuff before, start with this short story collection. If you're already a fan , then you best mainline these tales into your book vein stat ! #booksky #📚🩸 #horrorsky

Hiiiii! Im Mel. I mostly write YA romantasy but also dabble in crime thriller & horror. I could go on & on about how horror reveals the truth of the human condition but I won’t. I do want to write more horror tho… Anyway, sorry for hijacking your chat! #HorrorWritersChat #booksky

If you like books featuring… 👻- ghost stories 🕵️‍♀️- mysteries 🛥️- boat trips 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 - family dramas 🏞️ - stunning scenery 🏡 - rural settings I have something for you… mybook.to/BleakWaters #booksky #thriller #mystery #writingcommunity #authors #readers #read 🩸📚💙 📚⚡️ 📚🩸 📢📚

#HorrorWritersChat Solstice sunrise burnt away the night. The sun basted us in our own perspiration until exhausted, our sweat glands ran dry. When I went to feast my ancestors in the ambient evening, their ghosts blew onto my spirit plate like ashes.

#HorrorWritersChat At the solstice sunrise, the crowds cheered. They struck bodhrans and rang bells and blew whistles and bid the dead a safe journey back through the veil. They didn’t see the ones who stayed behind; the vapours, the tendrils of mist, the shadows with malice flickering within.

Hi I'm Anna. I write quite a range of SFFH, but when I veer down the horror path, it is usually bordered with the hulking hedgerows and sinister sentient trees of eco-horror. I suppose I like the flavour of risk and transgression, contained by the interior nature of writing. #HorrorWritersChat

I think I tend to write less, and I love the long nights of summer, especially living by the coast. Pre-tourist season I tend to go to the beach during the day and take notes. So, I write less but brainstorm more if that makes sense I also tend to write my more cosy fiction too #HorrorWritersChat

It's a coconutmilk ice cream with waffle cone pieces, chocolate chunks, and cookie dough. #horrorwriterschat

A mostly melted caramel pecan blizzard that you can just slurp up out of a styrofoam cup 🤌 #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat Yeah… it would be called “Chaos in Neutral” and it would be an amalgamation of all the flavours and sauces and extras mashed into one big mess! 😂😂😂

Not very much? I write year round. I try to always keep my hand in my creative endeavors.

#HorrorWritersChat My life is chaos in neutral so my process never really changes from writing/editing whenever I can. I just make sure that when I do have a chance to write, I make good use of it!

Hi 👋 I’m Charlie. I’m newish to horror. I’ve primarily focused on fantasy/spice, before ultimately deciding horror was the place for me. My first horror story releases this fall! I write horror to explore the darkest parts of my lived experience as a human on this earth.

#HorrorWritersChat Theodore Snapdragon here; I write all kinds of SFF! I’m querying my scifi horror “Unintended Designs”. I’m a deeply anxious person, and horror speaks to that. It’s a safe outlet to explore fear. Sorry I’m late, I want to be on time, but I’m sick and my sleep schedule is screwed…

I'm Christian and I write all kinds of horror. My debut is a scifi/cosmic horror collection of interconnected short stories. Horror is my favorite genre because it's the only genre that's also an emotion. It's found everywhere! #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat Hello! I’m Gary Kruse, I write scary stories about dark deeds in beautiful places where the dead lurk as shadows and pain. Horror resonates with me when it’s set in a recognisable world with characters who could be me.

2 days… mybook.to/BleakWaters #ghoststories #mystery #booksky #skywriters #bookcommunity #thriller #horror 🩸📚💙 📚⚡️

If you’re in Britain, with the sun shining and the heat rising, but you’re stuck in your day job with no hope for parole while the weather lasts, you need a little slice of Cornwall. With added deception, betrayal and conspiracy… mybook.to/Badlands2025 #booksky #summerreads #thriller 📚⚡️ 📚💙

#WIPSnips A little snippet from my #WIP, Ruins, a spooky mystery that follows on from Bleak Waters. Had to redact one name because SPOILERS!!! #writingcommunity #writesky #writingprompts

Spent last night formatting the interior of the Bleak Waters paperback. I think I’m finally getting to grips with Scrivener’s compile function! #authorlife #skywriters #booksky #writersofbluesky #writingcommunity #writerslife #horrorwriters #thrillerwriters

Today I updated my files & added the two shorties (859w & 1,186w) I wrote the other day to my Paperwhite for the final read-thru next week. ☺️

👻 HAPPY RELEASE DAY 👻 Gluttony by @ashericmore.bsky.social has hit the world 😱 Time to restock the freezer. But don’t go shopping when you are hungry - you might bite off more than you can chew. Her internal monologue exposes how repugnant she is. A character to hate and karma so sweet. 🩸📚😱📚💙

Trying to curate my feed of #writers and #readers, so if you love: 🕯️ #GothicFantasy 🌑 #DarkFantasy 🦇 #GothicHorror 💀 #PsychologicalHorror 👻 #SupernaturalHorror 📚 #ClassicLiterature 🎓 #DarkAcademia Say hello and tell me some of your favorite books, movies, or shows that are in these genres 🖤

Hello !! #HorrorWritersChat I'm Coral Evermore, I write literary gothic, supernatural, and psychological horror very much inspired by history and mythology. I also post short stories on my own website. My familiar is a possibly a crow, otherwise I don't know yet.

#HorrorWritersChat The closest possible thing (not really lol) would be my take on biblical angels as a cosmic horror entity in my flash fiction story "Here God is Blind". Other than that, mutated hellhounds populate the apocalyptic world of my short story "Birth of the Blood Moon".

#HorrorWritersChat Thanks for hosting this! They were such great questions! If you would like to read any of the work I mentioned which features gothic, supernatural, and psychological horror, feel free to visit my website here: coralevermore.com
