Ooooo that’s a hard one. As much as I love the old New England vibes of Salem, I’m just a hair more drawn to the beach carnival world of San Nico (fictional) from my San Nico Slayers series. I’m just such a complete sucker for carnival vibes. #HorrorWritersChat

If I want to set something in a real place I haven’t been, I find the immersion difficult. I’m a very visceral writer. Vibes are a thing for me and I like getting them right. So I tend to go down rabbit holes trying to make sure I’m getting more than tourist vibes of a place. #HorrorWritersChat

I don’t have a preference. I tend to get hitched up in someone uses a real place that I’m familiar with and gets it wrong, but that doesn’t deter me from reading real place works. As long as the place is developed and visceral, I’m all for it. #HorrorWritersChat

I love this! My name is Donna Taylor, and I write primarily YA horror. My current WIP is book 4 in my San Nico Slayers series, about a girl who has to stop a vamp from ☠️ her, and opens a whole new can of worms doing it. Book 1, Blood on the Boardwalk, comes out later this year. #HorrorWritersChat

My one “resolution” for the year is watching the stuff I have on my streaming watchlists. I finished The Gentlemen (loved), and watched Greta Gerwig’s Little Women before it left Hulu (also loved). Now I’m finishing Buffy. I never watched past S3 originally and I’m into S6 now. Good news replacement

So I’m making my way through Buffy (stopped watching after season 3 originally), and I’m at the musical episode. I…kind of hate it. Like, the idea is great. Quirky take on choreomania. But the sheer amount of musical numbers to plot is like smashing three musicals into a single run. It’s A LOT.

I know I have a lot of books on my TBR pile, but now we’re just being hyperbolic. What number is that, anyway? Quintillion?

You will do readings where no one shows up. You will set up at events and sell no books. Rejection will show up in your inbox again and again. You will say “I wrote a book!” and folks will stay quiet or say “Cool!” and then not buy it. It’s all good. Part of the gig. KEEP AT IT.

just from a folklore point of view, "attractive hooded man kills billionaire head of hated business with bullets inscribed with political slogans and then vanishes" is narratively breathtaking

Who is the scariest #vampire since the original #nosferatu? One to consider is Kurt Barlow from the original #SalemsLot who never spoke at all making his striking appearance even more terrifying. #horrorsky

I foresee a lot of horror getting published in the coming years. And a resurgence of dystopian fiction. The irony is a lot of people are going to gobble that last one up and then try to tell us books aren’t political. 😐

The audacity of demanding kindness from the very people to whom you have been irrevocably unkind.
