#HorrorWritersChat Q4 😱 What, I won?! I'd like to thank Mary Shelley, HG Wells, Bram Stoker, Stephen King, Bruce the Shark, Sasquatch, the Beast of Gévaudan, the Xenomorph, the T-800, masked killers in a plethora of media and the things that go bump in the night.

#HorrorWritersChat Q3 Tough one... As for living, I'd definitely share my author table with @authorpcorrell.bsky.social because of just how beautiful her storytelling is and @aptshadow.bsky.social because, you know, SPIDERS! And from among those no longer with us, Mary Shelley and HG Wells.

I always try to mention Melissa Barrera the past two years because she was the first celebrity casualty for simply speaking out against genocide. She shared an article by a scholar and that was enough to cancel her. I hope people give her the spotlight and some love. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

Melissa Barrera Says Support for Macklemore After He Was Dropped from Ed Sheeran’s Tour Is ‘Beautiful’ and ‘I Didn’t Get That’ After Being Fired From ‘Scream’

Melissa Barrera is voicing her respect for the musicians who have dropped out of Ed Sheeran’s tour following Macklemore’s dismissal over his support for Palestine.

In the bookshop just now a guy came in with his mother. I would’ve said he was late 20s maybe early 30s and he said he’d never really got into fiction but wanted to start, and a friend had recommended Robin Hobb, so he bought Assassin’s Apprentice and went away happy. It’s never too late to start!

I have mixed feelings about #Batman now, but I cannot deny that the character absolutely captured my imagination as a child and a teen, and that without question if it was not for some of the truly brilliant stories in Batman comics and graphic novels, I would not have got into #reading. #BatmanDay

I feel for people who feel stuck in toxic and abusive situations, personal or professional. It doesn’t have to be some dramatic, battered story to be damaging. Walking away takes guts, but putting yourself first matters. This isn’t a video game. You don’t get multiple lives. #HealthSky #LifeSky

So I finished watching 'Bone Keeper' (yes, I watched it in parts). The concept was half-decent, the effects were surprisingly good, but even John Rhys-Davis couldn't save the abysmal acting performances. Really didn't care at all about any of the characters. Not recommended. #Horror #Movies
