#HorrorWritersChat Q4 Story I've semi-shelved, same world as Clipped, inspired by Blood Like Lemonade by Morcheeba. An exalted comes to investigate a break in the tithe supply & finds how corrupt Earth is. Basic plot of the song but genderswapped so... spoilers? www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyRx...

#HorrorWriterschat Q2 Everything I write has a playlist, even my weird little alien short story I still occasionally submit to places. In Wheelchair Seating for the Apocalypse, main character's listening to her metal music through earphones which drowns out the zombie chaos outside. Very crucial!

Hi, I'm Kyew aka KQ Watson and I occasionally write horror, horror with humour but I'm usually in dystopias. My top 4 bands/musicians are Will Wood, Zeal & Ardor, Rishloo and SKYND (VERY NSFW).

Email from @draft2digital.bsky.social actively promoting a Spotify offer to create slop audiobooks with AI voices. I do not want offers of slop trained on stolen work from a publishing service, and particularly not in an email that carefully says "digitally narrated" throughout, rather than AI.

#SFFChat Q4. I briefly skimmed Clipped & it feels arrogant to say this but all the jokes either aren't funny without context, are too crude for the masses (without context), are spoilers, or I've already posted the jokes before. Uh... so... my humor is intricately woven though my writing? Sure.

#SFFChat Q3 I suppose Jason Pargin. I really, really liked the first 2 John Dies books. Zoey Ashe is pretty good too but I couldn't get into Box of Doom and I don't remember what happened in What The Hell Did I Just Read. Total mindwipe for some reason.

#SFFChat Q2 I like humor that sneaks up on me. In Vonnegut's 2BR02B there's a quick description of something that, to me, was a hilarious visual. Laughed for about 10 minutes. I still occasionally giggle about it. In the book Boy Parts there's this whole section about extreme cinema... yeah. IYKYK.

A few reasons. Chronically ill, but want to leave some mark on the world when I'm gone. My characters helped guide me through hard times so I feel I owe it to them unleash them upon the world. I can't be the only one who finds the stuff in my head interesting.

HA! Nice try, one of my ankles is rubber and aluminum!!! Ahem. Anyway... My books are dystopian hellscapes with disability rep. Enjoyyy!! kqwatson.carrd.co

Zak, the protagonist of Clipped by KQ Watson, standing in grey jeans and a dark sweater, with a cigarette to his lips. He has tan skin and dark shaggy hair. Art by anamenezes_art on IG. Not AI.

The bottom half has a purchase QR code, an image of the ebook cover in an ereader, and the paperback.

Review Text reads "Readers are saying... it pulls you into a beautifully written nightmare, a world full of chaos... broken systems... and desperate people. ..."Readers are saying...A poignant and atmospheric exploration of grief, identity, and the fragile boundaries between humanity and the divine... designed by someone who thought Blade Runner needed more fire and brimstone."

The cover of An X of Y and Z by KQ Watson. Its a gasmask flanked by two be-hatted plague doctor masks hovering above a cityscape while a bouquet explodes like a mushroom cloud. In red and white is the title An X of Y and Z. on a background of paper with typing on it. The text says The Children laughed as they ran from the Chiffy, who yelled and hollered and called them thieves.
