PS Keith Rosson’s Crone is so crazy fucking good, a grief-noir crime thriller with Cronenbergian drugs and cryptid black magic that’s predicated on shitty fatherhood as the baseline curse of America.

Watching THE BRIDE! again today just made me realize how relevant its portrayal of feminine rage is and remember that it's incredibly punk rock. It's not perfect but it's an extraordinary work of art from a female filmmaker that is worthy of reassessment.

#HorrorWritersChat I don't use music in my stories, but music influences my writing. I'll listen to music to get into a certain mood or focus on a theme. Music is very evocative for me. If I'm stuck with writer's block, I'll spend time vibing with music.

I couldn't get to #HorrorWritersChat today, but I do want to share a bit about music! I write psychological horror. My favorite music varies based on mood, but my top genres are alternative and R&B. Some of my favorite artists are Weezer, The Living End, Queen, and Janelle Monáe.

I am usually very good at finding a silver lining. I've been able to remain positive in some really bleak times. But lately it feels like I'm waking up every day to have the universe punch me in the dick. Again. And again. And again. Very hard to find ANY joy.

#HorrorWritersChat My first thought is: a harp player’s expert string-plucking somehow breaks down their immediate reality. Strings and resonances and harmonics meeting the math of inter-dimensionality. The question then is how they might return to reality before four-dimensional beings notice.
