I’m beta reading for someone in exchange for some character art (I can’t wait to show y’all!) but it’s always wild and amazing to me that I have a werewolf book and SHE has a werewolf book but they’re both so different! I love human creativity.

NeverMIND I’m the worst actually. I realized the first pages I was sending out had a HUGE ISSUE that I somehow missed and somehow also got through two rounds of beta reading and all sorts of edits WHOOPS

This attitude is getting me through the query process #amquerying

I don’t have any real motive behind this but I’m convinced everyone should get really into Visual Kei

I’m gonna be real with y’all, I’ve had a rough week. Cried so long on Monday that my eyes hurt on Tuesday. BUT I just laughed out loud while reading Bookshops and Bonedust by @travisbaldree.bsky.social and I think that’s what a reader’s life is all about.

Reading about the insane numbers of books that ordinary working people used to read a hundred years ago feels like seeing pictures of the Pacific Ocean back when it teemed with whales. Hard to comprehend what we’ve lost.

I need to hire somebody to slap my hand every time I reach out to grab a book I’ve already read. There are so many new books to read! But the allure of knowing it’ll fit exactly what I’m craving 😭 must… resist…

This isn’t horror novel related but I’ve been making a doll of my dear friend for like a year now and I’m just really putting off sewing his tiny clothes because it’s SUCH a pain

Between Two Fires x Tender Is The Flesh THE WOLF IN THE HEATHER Jean Grenier has terrorized southern France with his cannibal murders. But when he’s finally caught, he discovers that even he is worthy of forgiveness. Now, he must face his demon lord and say “no more.” #LuckyPit #PopUpPit #Horror

A collage of images. In the center, an Italian peasant boy painted by William Morris Hunt. Around him are four images: a blurry picture of wolves on the run, a drawing of a brutalized man from the show Hannibal, a flock of sheep photographed at night, and a mysterious horned figure on a dark horse.

Between Two Fires X Tender Is The Flesh 🐺 THE WOLF IN THE HEATHER 🌙 16 year old Marguerite survived a werewolf attack and stood trial against the evil beast. But what will she do when she’s denied the justice she craves? #luckypit #popuppit #horror

A collage of images. Central to the collage is a drawing of two French peasant girls kneeling to pray. Around that, there’s four images: a human mouth with extra long canines, a rag with pitted red cherries, a dark field of sheep with their eyes reflecting light, and an illustration of a large dog in a churchyard.

Any time it rains you should be able to leave work early to go to the bookstore

Frankly, I think neon lighting would have popped off in the Middle Ages.

I’m so pretentious. I can’t stand myself. Who else in the world has to do a cull of the word “limned” in their manuscript?

H “Caddy” Owen @caddywampuswalk.bsky.social · 13/03/2025

That first writing sample request is a high I’ll never forget. A full manuscript request would probably kill me, at this stage. #amquerying

My dog had a seizure. Now, she’s fine, but it made me think: You see, there’s a sort of story that goes around the internet about how dogs get sick and try to hide their symptoms - this is phrased as “throwing up behind the couch” And the writer argues humans can be guilty of this, too

A pic you’d use as an album cover The anniversary after my husband walked out, I quietly and tearfully destroyed all of the wedding ephemera I’d saved in a box in my car.

“First ten pages” is so tough because that’s a paragraph before the cannibalism goes full-throttle. #amquerying

I’m amazed at the number of agents looking to work with the kind of novel I’ve written. It’s a good time for horror! So many good books out lately and I’m sure there are more on the way.

I have barely started the query process, in the grand scheme of things, but it’s still so crushing. The anxiety is immense! #amquerying
