Taking a break on this gorgeous day after a walk. Reading my friend @joshmalerman.bsky.social’s Incidents Around the House before the movie comes out soon, with a “Ghostie Toastie” iced coffee from Cool Beans cafe in Medina. I recommend both! 👻📚😳☕️

Working a little this evening on book editing and my website at Panera. It’s a good excuse for a pumpkin cinnamon roll and getting out of the house, but I really am workIng! I‘ve been under the weather a little so I’m catching up. And a treat sounded nice!😊

My favorite ghosts from the AuGhost challenge. Anyone want prints of any of these? If there's enough interest I'll make some. 😈🎨🦇 And if you liked one not listed here, you can suggest that one, too. :)

Today is suicide prevention day. I’m taking a minute to remind that not everyone is ok most of the time even if they seem like it. People need support. And if you’re struggling, it’s ok. Stay. Look to a small, beautiful thing & climb back to the world. Hope is found in the tiniest of things. 💚

Friday, I had “second birthday” haha! I had a picnic dinner & fed the squirrels, grabbed Cool Beans - I had an “Imagination Library” themed drink from their remembering Dolly menu, which was toffee nut latte! Sat outside the cafe reading a bit before heading for some shopping & getting custard! 🌻

Thursday, I had a banana bread latte from Starbucks & my B&N trip & Thai food for my birthday! See my spoils + new sweater, too. The new novel by Ken Follett is about Stonehenge & chonky! I can’t wait to read it this winter. 🙌🏼

Took my daughter back to college on Sunday & her first day was Monday. It’s a little bit of a transition for me out of having summer with her & all my kids away and/or busy. This age of life is strange & lonely. Going to take me a few beats to figure it all out still. But writing time is planned!😊

My youngest and I’s last day together before we take her back to college tomorrow! We had mocha lattes with banana cold foam at one of our fave places, her famous packed lunches at the gardens, finished her shopping list, hair cut now, then having dinner. It’s so bittersweet. I love her so much!! 🥰

I can no longer gaze away from the truth. I pick up the piece of crumbling rock and it disintegrates in my hand, tumbling down. The Earth opens a crack and all the stench of my ancestors and their murderous ways evaporates into the air, releasing me from their bond. #horrorwriterschat

I’m not entirely sure, but I’m drawn to characters being tortured by a secret due to suspense (I love suspense), a ghost - and overcoming both - or a bad character being tortured an affliction because of some wrong they’ve done and succumbing to it (I like revenge!). #horrorwriterschat

Erin Al-Mehairi, Editor & Author @erinalmehairi.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

I’m sure I’d use a crime probably. Something someone did to save the family or loved one that had bad consequence. Maybe a haunting. Or something ancient using folklore. I’ve written “around“ the theme - like a cursed thrift store item someone “inherited“ through buying it. #horrorwriterschat

Good afternoon, #HorrorWritersChat! Summer still blooms through late August, but fortunately, where I am from, the scorching heat has subsided this week! But what hasn't subsided, is the weight of an accursed bloodline. A physical manifestation. A sordid past. TONIGHT! The horror, of inheritance.

Artwork done by Jeff Haynie and Brian Horton for the developer EA Los Angeles, for the game Clive Barker's Undying. It features a family of five, where the background is a yellowish wall, and the foreground is dominated by a tall, luxurious chair on which a middle-aged, bespectacled man in a greenish nighttime sits. He is flanked by his family members; to his left, a young woman in a lovely dress for social occasions, and a man with long hair who is actually Clive Barker himself. To his right is a woman in a dress of a much more autumnish mood, with copper-red hair tied to a bun, and a man in a full suit, whose short hair and well-trimmed moustache is the colour of her hair.

On Friday evening, my daughter & I went to Medina downtown which they were transforming into Stars Hollow for a Gilmore Girls weekend! we had Mr. Medina coffees - caramel praline shaken espressos w/chocolate cold foam, did a scavenger hunt, & browsed the bookstore & its themed rooms. We had fun! ✨📚☕️

She felt her face, for her eyes, but they bled, and she could not see. She heard a stick crack between feet and then all was silent. She shivered. She didn’t want to move, to be prey, but she didn’t want to stand still either. She put out her foot, and … splash! #horrorwriterschat

I love the subtleness of working in character’s fears or true personalities or agendas against others. Discovering humanity that way, often at it’s worse. Just little things, like a slip of a hand. #horrorwriterschat
