Thanks, Eryn, as always for the hosting finesse. And for once I actually have something to share. A tale of mind was picked by Edge & Busby for a psychological horror antho called "Witnessed" out next March. Woot!

A mock-up of the cover art showing a bloody old-fashioned keyhole for an anthology of horror stories called "Witnessed" by Edge & Busby. Story title is "Circling."

Amanda M. Blake, purveyor of dark fiction, gothic to gory, quiet to extreme. In the spirit of pumpkin seeds, I think one of the creepiest things growing where they shouldn't is holes. I'm not quite trypophobic, but they certainly make me uncomfortable. #HorrorWritersChat

I'm Amber from central Maine. I write all kinds of horror, most with cults or ghosts. I can imagine all sorts of creepy things growing where they shouldn't, but do they have to be things that actually grow from the ground? Because I'm picturing teeth sprouting in a garden bed. #HorrorWritersChat
