I wonder how animal allergies would shake out in a world of anthros? Like, you can ban peanuts because Simon is allergic to them, but you can't really ban Jim because Bob is allergic to cats and as such cat people since that's kinda Banning a person

To my mom for not getting it but reading and supporting me anyway. To my readers and fans! Can’t be in that position without the fan base. To all those people who inspired characters—the good, the bad and the ugly—whether they realize it or not. #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat Oh ye gods, not public speaking. If I absolutely have to say something I'd probably devolve into a teary mess. My late partner was the one who encouraged me, always. But I'd also thank my publisher @cmdrsue.bsky.social & editor for my darker books, @prettyscaryauthor.bsky.social .

Oooh, this is tough. I guess I'd prefer to table next to someone easy to talk with, so perhaps one of my friends, like @eliwoodsgheist.bsky.social. That said, I'm also happy to make new author friends with people who are cool and down-to-earth, so I'm really not picky! #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat I think pretty much any author here would prove interesting to table with (though they'd have to be ok with masking; I always mask up in public no matter what). Big names would be intimidating, but it might be cool to chat w/ Chuck Wendig or Stephen Graham Jones.

#HorrorWritersChat A panel on Analogue Horror & Creepypasta, and I'd love the person behind Operator on it, whoever it was that did Blaire Witch Project (since it was sort of the launching pad for the style many Analogues use), and some of the site owners for SCP I am not good with names

My ideal panel would be about instilling dread into the reader. How do you create true, lasting horror that stays with your audience? If I could invite anyone, I would bring in Stephen King, R.L. Stine, Edgar Allen Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, Clive Barker, and Mary Shelley. #HorrorWritersChat

I LOVE the idea of this #HorrorWritersChat conference! My IDEAL conference?? Alright some might call it niche but I’ve seen this growing more lately: asexuality and horror. A-spec lens on existing horror films, asexual interior experiences and anxieties translated to body horror, etc.

I'm gonna be honest, I don't know enough about panels to know for sure. Given the themes of my most recent book, maybe the correlation between religious trauma and kickass horror? Gimme Mike Flannagan, @stephengrahamjones.com, myself, and maybe Michael Mohan? I know two of those are directors, but..

#HorrorWritersChat Accidentally closed this tab >.< To sum up, they show the fears of the era. Vampires are a good example - still popular as fears of the rich and what they will do still haunt us, and vampires show their bottomless appetites and how they use finery to hide the monsters they are

I like the word "monster" because it can be associated with either a "creature" or "a set of actions". Arguably, the second one is scarier. Monsters of the second kind force us to think about who we are and what we are capable of. Shout out to Nethescurial by Thomas Ligotti! #HorrorWritersChat

Monstrosity is meant to make us confront our most human parts, whether that entity is human or not. It brings out what a human being is willing to do to survive and also what they're willing to conceal for their own egos. My favorite creature, controversially, is Shinji's Eva-01 #HorrorWritersChat

I always think of how often the things/creatures we consider monsters are not that. The Creature from Frankenstein was never called a monster in the book. And even Karloff portrayed him a tragedy. As someone bullied as a child, I have sympathy for those facing the angry mob. #HorrorWritersChat

She floated there, arms at strange angles, feet hardly scraping the ground. The mouth smiled, but the eyes held an aching sadness and when she spoke, the voice was not her own. “I’m happier this way.” As I watched, the strings that held her whisked her back into darkness. #HorrorWritersChat
