Not doing so well with my usual October horror movie marathon this year. Only seen these so far, I have some serious catching up to do 😂 Of the two I had much more fun with Offerings. No denying the Halloween similarities but it had its own merits too 🎃

Only 10 days away from the release of Suffer Their Going from Silver Thistle Press. A story inspired by a nightmare, that became a short story, that was produced as an audio drama, and will soon be a published novella. I can't wait for readers to meet Eleanor Browne.

If you're looking for some weird horror this spooky season, you have to check out "Rose." It's the Kafkaesque fantasy-horror story of a young woman turned into a plant/human hybrid (and that's just the start of her problems). Strange, thrilling, and full of Japanese mythology. You'll love it.

Ray. Mutherflippin. Bradbury. His small town simplicity and creative, exquisite use of quotidian language speaks to me deeply, and I think we could mesh his small town sensibilities with my gold rush hometown ones for a fascinating play on rural communities facing horrors among the rolling hills.

100% Poe. He was my main inspiration for starting to write horror. Before that, I was all-fantasy all the time, but Poe’s stories awoke my dark side. 😂 I also think our shared propensity for romantic longing would allow us to mesh well. #HorrorWritersChat
