Can confirm, I’ve read the book. Also, if you’re a horror fan and you haven’t read THE DEVOURING, then honestly, what are you even doing? 🤷‍♂️

Saw someone mention Kamelot earlier, so I'd do a horror story inspired by their track "The Haunting (Somewhere in time)" The concept would be an anthology about two souls who are reincarnated over and over again, only for their love to end in tragedy each time they meet. #HorrorWritersChat

Bradley Ramsey @imagine2create.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Haha, yeah, it's a term I came up with years ago when someone asked me what I listen to while writing. 😆

010

Bradley Ramsey @imagine2create.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Fantastic pitch. I'd read it! 👏👏

121

Bradley Ramsey @imagine2create.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Killer picks here. Love me some Halestorm and Kamelot. 🤘

Bradley Ramsey @imagine2create.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

The members of my favorite band of all time, Poets of the Fall, find themselves booked to play a gig for the Lovecraftian gods of my horror mythos. If they can make them dance, they'll be allowed to leave with their lives. I believe in them. 🙏 #HorrorWritersChat #AuthorSky #writingcommunity

Bradley Ramsey @imagine2create.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I've got "musical pairings" that I do on Substack. Every post includes a song you can listen to afterward, as the proverbial credits roll. Sometimes I'll include music or lyrics in the story itself as well, like my piece titled "Crossroads Rock and Roll." #HorrorWritersChat #AuthorSky

Bradley Ramsey @imagine2create.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Here we go! 🤘🎸 Bradley Ramsey here, writer of cosmic horror and horror mashups that terrify and intrigue in equal measure. When I'm writing horror, I like to have some EDM or what I lovingly call "gut-wrenching dubstep" playing. Music as violent and eclectic as my work. 😌 #HorrorWritersChat

It’s been a rough week, and I know I’m not alone. I’ve seen and heard about other’s struggles. At a certain point, it starts to feel like it’s all just one big loop. Which begs the question… bradleyramsey.substack.com/p/how-do-we-... #writingcommunity #poetrycommunity #poem #poetry #narration

Shout-out to the Old (Real) Ones, haha. 😆 Love this response from my friend, @gunsmile.bsky.social. 👏👏

010

Bradley Ramsey @imagine2create.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Oh wow, doll making is really cool as well! I think about my grandmother a lot; she was always super supportive of my creativity, and it truly meant the world to me, then and now. I appreciate you sharing, my friend. 🙏

110

Bradley Ramsey @imagine2create.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

I love this, haha. Since I do narration and voice acting as well, I feel like my dogs deserve a shout-out for dealing with my occasional shouting or crying into the mic while recording. 🤣

120

Bradley Ramsey @imagine2create.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

I've spoken on this topic elsewhere, but most people don't realize how much power their words hold when it comes to feedback. A supportive teacher, partner, or friend can mean the difference between a story getting finished and a writer giving up. So, shout out to Brian for being a real one. 👏👏

110

Bradley Ramsey @imagine2create.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Damn, this is a good pitch! So many layers to it.

120

Bradley Ramsey @imagine2create.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

I love this. My grandmother unfortunately passed before I was old enough to really start writing stories like I do today, but I'd like to think she would have loved my work.

110

Bradley Ramsey @imagine2create.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

This makes me so happy to see. Love it when writers find support from their friends, family, spouse, and fellow authors. 👏👏

010

Bradley Ramsey @imagine2create.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Loved the themes and questions this week, Mary! About to dive in and check out some other responses. Would like to share the announcement article I wrote for my next big horror writing challenge starting soon! bradleyramsey.substack.com/p/a-new-horr... #HorrorWritersChat

Bradley Ramsey @imagine2create.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

I think King and Stine were fundamental authors in shaping my love of horror, but my current stories would not exist without the support of the writing community here and over on Substack. The feedback, support, and genuine engagement mean everything to me. It keeps me going. 🙏 #HorrorWritersChat

0112

Bradley Ramsey @imagine2create.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

I appreciate you saying that, Mary. These chats are truly one of the highlights of my week. 😁🙏

120

Bradley Ramsey @imagine2create.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

It's a tie for me between R.L. Stine and Stephen King because both authors were fundamental in shaping the horror that I myself write today. I read Stine first with Goosebumps, but I read a lot of King as I got older and really started writing my own stuff. #HorrorWritersChat

091

Bradley Ramsey @imagine2create.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

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

Bradley Ramsey @imagine2create.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

After destroying a planet-killer asteroid, humanity faces a new threat as an alien parasite spreads across the globe. As quarantine zones reach their limit, six people will slowly unravel a dark conspiracy thousands of years in the making. #HorrorWritersChat

092

Bradley Ramsey @imagine2create.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

I judge my weeks based on whether I make it to the #HorrorWritersChat on time or not. Seeing as how I'm late this week, it's not going great. 😅 Jokes aside, hello! Bradley Ramsey here, writer of cosmic horror and other horror genre mash-ups. Going to do my pitch in the post below 👇

2132

Bradley Ramsey @imagine2create.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Can’t wait to dig into this one! A huge thank you to @playcomics.bsky.social as well for featuring my Saved as Draft promo in this episode! If you’re a fan of Zelda, comics, gaming, or all three, I cannot recommend this podcast enough! 👏🏻👏🏻

Bradley Ramsey @imagine2create.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Another amazing Live poetry reading tonight over on Substack with my monthly co-host Stefan Pasek. Here’s a clip, but stayed tuned tomorrow for the full recording! #writingcommunity #writesky #poem #poetry

042

Bradley Ramsey @imagine2create.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Oh yeah, that's going straight onto my TBR list. 👏👏

111

Bradley Ramsey @imagine2create.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

I have seen not one, but two references to Parasite Eve during the #HorrorWritersChat, and that tells me once again that I have found my people. 😌

240

Bradley Ramsey @imagine2create.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Indeed! Last year was a resounding success, so this year we're leveling up again. Right now it's just on Substack, but we hope to expand to other platforms in the future! 😁

110

Bradley Ramsey @imagine2create.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

So, so good! Amazing questions this week, @greethewriter.bsky.social! I'd like to promote the upcoming announcement for my next big horror writing challenge on Substack beginning October 1st. I'll be sharing details this Saturday! Here's the teaser image I made: #HorrorWritersChat

062

Bradley Ramsey @imagine2create.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

My hand jolts towards their neck. I can't stop it. Bones snap. Flesh stretches until it tears. Their body is torn asunder. Broken down so it can be rebuilt. Rebuilt in HIS image. Where others felt fear, I felt only reverence. True divinity unfolded before me. #HorrorWritersChat

1184

Bradley Ramsey @imagine2create.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Given that my current parasite-focused work is cosmic/Lovecraftian horror, the infected are all meant to serve a much larger purpose beyond our understanding. In general, the book (and by extension, the trilogy) explores the illusion of choice and control on a cosmic scale. #HorrorWritersChat

0134

Bradley Ramsey @imagine2create.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

So, my current WIP is going for both. I'm nothing if not ambitious. 😅 Mental horror is that, once you're infected, you don't know when or how you will "turn." Physical is that when you do "turn," you'll mutate into something capable of spreading the parasite based on context. #HorrorWritersChat

0114

Bradley Ramsey @imagine2create.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Bradley Ramsey here, a writer of cosmic horror and currently working on a WIP about an alien parasite. A big influence for me is John Carpenter's The Thing and the entity from that film. I love parasites that hide in plain sight, waiting just beneath the surface. #HorrorWritersChat

1197

Bradley Ramsey @imagine2create.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

I am unreasonably hyped. My current WIP is all about a fictional parasite, haha. Can't wait!
