Physical manifestations; I love it when the shadows of our thoughts take on physical form to torment us (in writing, I mean! Hate it when that happens in reality!). I think it's why I'm so partial to ghosts - they represent that eternal torment and trauma so well! #HorrorWritersChat

To go back to Lovecraft as an inspiration, I think my overall favourite secret of inheritance is its inevitability. Like in Shadow Over Innsmouth, no matter how disgusted, repelled, or outraged you'll feel about it, it WILL latch itself onto you. Just like on your descendant. #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat The torture is in knowledge. The knowledge someone was left behind. They "willingly" stayed. In control. Behind a fence. Locked in a cage of religion and control. And there's nothing our main character can really do about it.

Sort of answered this one already. It's not exactly an accursed bloodline, but inheriting the powers of the witches before you definitely comes with drawbacks. What good is seeing the future or the unseen world around you if you're powerless to do anything about it? #HorrorWritersChat
