- Glad I could still participate, even late! My novel, In the House of In Between is available wherever good books are sold, but if you buy through Bookshop, you’re benefitting the fight against our real life horrors here in the US. Consider buying books to say fuck 🧊.
- Q4: #HorrorWritersChat My novelette, The Light Across the Street, the MC’s father quickly passes and the story progresses from there. I personified it as rot; fungus; slime; dust, greasy and gritty. It’s not really an entity (though there are entities in the book), but a pervasive, unending decay.
- Q3: #HorrorWritersChat Based on the physical symptoms of my own generalized anxiety, I wrote Red Clouds with a lot of reference to agitated nerves, pain, pins & needles in hands to mark the character becoming frightened. But of course, in body horror, it’s more than just anxiety…
- Q2: #HorrorWritersChat In my novel, In the House of In Between, Backlund House is the constant. It is a domicile; no malice. However, because it IS a constant, there are grooves to fall into and find yourself facing—something. Sorta like, hearing a song and it’s a coworker just in their groove.
- Q1: #HorrorWritersChat JD Buffington home now, safe from corporate meddling. Author of horror and scifi—and I do blurby reviews of books and other media, too. Poltergeist comes to mind first. I moved a lot as a kid and was always afraid of finding ourselves someplace haunted. Only a few times.
- Happy 15th Lovecraft eZine! Glad I have been listening for several years, to feel like I have made friends and shared in grief, and have even been allowed to show up! @michaeldylandavis.bsky.social, regarding writing, to echo back something you said to me about writing styles, “You write your way.”
- I appreciate your flexibility, Mr. Speaker, but this is a Wetzel’s Pretzels…
- So—we’re indentured servants of—the economy? We owe it something? We’re so indebted we must work our able bodied days into the grave to make it bigger? I don’t think I like the sound of that at all. I find that to be incredibly unhealthy for an individual’s physical and mental well-being…DOCTOR Oz.
- Can they really be undone in Word? Did they do the black highlighter thing again?
- Fixed it for you, sir. No means no. None. Nada, out, kaput. You are looking for the words abolition and termination.
