Thanks so much, Matt! So all my books are on sale right now on the 'zon! I have NO idea why it says the Kindle editions are so expensive normally, so I guess I have to look into that #HorrorWritersChat www.amazon.com/Berge-Sister...

Mostly I just do something other than writing. But I also celebrate with minor luxuries: a gourmet beer, baking, or some downtime with my Kindle. They're usually enough of a celebration and to keep the mix of euphoria and saudade in check. #HorrorWritersChat

I always buy myself something I really want. For smaller projects, I treat myself to a favourite takeaway/dessert place/café. For bigger projects, I buy myself things I've really wanted and saved money for. The Kindle Scribe was my last one. This time will be a gaming PC! #HorrorWritersChat

#Horrorwriterschat Question 1: Hi! I'm Steve and I'm an academic expert on monsters, a writer, and a book reviewer. My current horror WIP would be For One Night Only, the sequel to The Erstwhile Tyler Kyle. Five words to sum it up: The horrors of smalltown Alberta

Horror Authors/Publishers The feds killed my day job, and I'd love some new editing gigs to get me through job hunt limbo. I come with decent references and, between my boredom and my shriveling bank account, let's say that rates, etc. are NEGOTIABLE thewilliamsterling.wixsite.com/main/service...

Oh the agony of a comparison. I have to FIND a comparison first. Then explain it. Badly. Black Cat Bookshop is a lot like Picture of Dorian Grey, except the character isn't especially young, or witty, or pretty. He doesn't hide the painting either. #HorrorWritersChat

I heard all of you quite loud and clear! Allow me to show off a tease of my map. @dewiwrites.bsky.social did a freaking phenomenal job bringing my vision to life and giving me this lovely creation. Not quite showing the full thing off yet, but Soon™, it'll be part of my lead up to release!

#HorrorWritersChat Zombie Town: I guess Goosebumps, but nowhere near as good and the kids are 100 times weirder 🤣

So all of my books are on sale on Amazon right now! If you love the 'zon, check 'em out before this ends! www.amazon.com/stores/J.L.-...

INTO THE GRAY... (MG horror out from Undertaker Books in April) Like Coraline only no button eyes and no weird mom, just rusty robots and piles of lost socks and evil faerie birds... and a kid who just wants to find a lost stuffed animal. (I am bad at this...LOL) #HorrorWritersChat

Phengaris is kind of like Misery. If Annie were a 17yo high school dropout high on drugs. Crossed with The Blair Witch Project, only with more gigantic insect sculptures made of trash. And cosmic bioacoustics. #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat THIS IS MY BLOOD - it's like the gospel, only written by Judas, and Mary Magdalene is like ANGEL from ... well... ANGEL only hot, and she and Lilith want to go to Heaven, but God is like NAH... so Mary & Judas save the world... again.

I sat behind the desk, the polished oak reflecting my backlit silhouette. I turned to the camera, "In the wake of this disaster, I will be your #interim leader. I do not know what the future holds, but I will serve. With my life, if necessary. My first act is to declare war..." #vsshorror #vss365

The House of Little Bones is Misery with no snow and no broken bones 🤭 #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat My 2nd book The Stone Hollow Circle is EXACTLY like The Shining except it doesn't have the Shining

So, imagine The Haunting of Bly Manor with a sprinkle of Paranormal Activity with a scary and honestly very ugly looking man-demon thing and other ghosts that hate the man-demon thing and think he's ugly too, but they're not that good-looking themselves either, unfortunately. #HorrorWritersChat

#Bloodbound is Twilight with absolutely none of those elements. #HorrorWritersChat (as a bonus here is a replay of my #WSPitP pitch graphic)

The Residents of James Hotel: a bit like all those 1970s creepy British TV dramas but without Joanna Lumley, David McCallum, or Christopher Lee. And without Nigel Kneale directing. #HorrorWritersChat

I forgot about #HorrorWritersChat *sigh But I did get a few sketches done this week. I'll check the threads later, though. Hope y'all are having a good day :>

Fun fact: most of #Bloodbound has been written while waiting for the bathtub to fill. #HorrorWritersChat

My favourite brainstorming spot is my bedroom window. It's an emergency escape window so it opens all the way. I love standing there, a tea/coffee/hot chocolate (depending on my mood) sitting on the window sill next to me as I watch the world go by. Bonus if it's raining 🥰 #HorrorWritersChat

I like going to the beach out of season when there aren’t that many people around, either finding a quiet spot to sit down and think, or if the weather isn’t great, sitting in a café with a coffee or hot chocolate. The sound of the waves are really calming. #HorrorWritersChat

Hello #HorrorWritersChat gang! I am Matt, pen name MG Mason. I write mixed genre horror and fantasy. Current WIP in six words: stranded man stays at creepy hotel. It’s called The Residents of James Hotel and will be released this summer (probably).

#HorrorWritersChat I AM THE JESSUP. I WRITE THE WEIRDCREEPY sumup the book I'm currently editing: chronically ill and disabled vampires (cancer eats the heart- coming at some point from @underlandpress.bsky.social)

Hi all, I'm Louise, writer of YA and MG shenanigans, and Zombie Town is my current horror WIP Zombies gatecrash a Halloween party #HorrorWritersChat

Hi there! My name is Caitlin and I write horror of all types (often cosmic). I am currently brainstorming/outlining something to write for the Women of the Weird West call. Not nearly far enough along to summarize! #HorrorWritersChat horrortree.com/taking-submi...

Hello #HorrorWritersChat! I'm Emma, and I write paranormal horror. My current WIP (The House on Finvoy Road rewrite) is still holding me hostage, which fits perfectly into my description of it in six words: "The yellow-eyed man is watching you."

Out now! I really hope you'll give this ultra-violent crime horror hybrid a go. And please do help me spread the word. Thank you! #MemoryCantBeTrusted alanbaxter.com.au/my-books/recall

In the latest edition of The Chaotic Author Podcast I address the concern from writers and readers over book talk guilt while there are bad things going on in the world. 🖊️📚💻
