I am more worried about what may happen on the upcoming election day than I am about the pnuemonic plague.

Also, just as I see some newer faces; one second promotion is for the #HorrorWritersChat anthology, featuring 19 fantastically talented authors from this chat (and 1 by me) with 100% of the profits going to Macmillan charity, in honour of the creator of this group, Matt Mason. amzn.eu/d/0gbq9DIm

And here's the full cover for Mother's Night, Rise of the Hare Witch, created by Ruth Anna Evans. (Went slightly wrong, I scheduled a blog post for 6pm, forgot all about this, remembered when eating my tea. Oh, so professional, everything back to front. 🤣)

Full cover for Mother's Night.
Shows a hare looking directly at the viewer against a moon and leafless trees.

Raining Blood by Slayer. Women suffering from severe PMS suddenly begin to transform every month into feral rapid beasts hunting and nourishing themselves on the blood and organs of men. They'll try to bound them, they'll try to keep them contained, but IT WILL RAIN BLOOD!!!!!!!! #HorrorWritersChat

"Music is a story with sound," said Tobias Forge. "And the stories I tell will gather hordes, a flock by the sound of the monstrance clock. Seeds will be sowed to it, nurtured by darkness to eat the souls of the virtuous." "Why would you do this?" asked the producer. "Why not?" #HorrorWritersChat

Whether it be me listening to it to dredge up emotion or perhaps the song itself is a feature. Sometimes the title of a song is what inspired the tale. Several of my stories feature music, sometimes inspired by Ghost, Hall&Oates, The Ramones, Pantera, or Slayer. #HorrorWritersChat

Hiya, I'm Vivian and I write a variety of horror. I listen to all music if it sounds good, but the majority would be rock, metal, and classical/instrumental, especially of the darker kind. #HorrorWritersChat

You may be grown, but you can only claim maturity if you realize you don't need more than you need. Life shouldn't be a competition, if you're here, you have already won so enjoy the ride and slow down.

'Tis the season to enjoy tiny stories in the form of poetry, because The Halloween Parade is a section of A NIGHTMARE FOR ALL SEASONS. In this section, you're introduced the whole autumnal carnival in a small town. There's even a chili cook-off. www.amazon.com/dp/B0GWF7GFG8 #HorrorWritersChat

The five seasons of A NIGHTMARE FOR ALL SEASONS: Verdant with Splinter and Thorn ("a carnivorous spring") represented by flowers, The Lusty Murders of May ("a murderous summer") represented by a bright sunny day, The Halloween Parade ("an autumn carnival") represented by orange fall leaves, Bleak Midwinter ("a winter haunted house"), and Lullabies for an Apocalypse ("an ignoble end") represented by abandoned building.

I'd thank my husband, Stephanie Ellis, Brigids Gate Press, Catherine McCarthy, Brennan Lafaro, Ronald Kelly, Lori Michelle, Stephen King( his On Writing book is golden), SA Cosby, my grandfather for being a great storyteller, and my mom for encouraging me to always be myself. #horrorwriterschat

I have to say Stephen King because he has had the most influence on my own writing. Roald Dahl is a close second, I love his adult short fiction. And also, if the other two couldn't make it, Malerman, just because he's such a neat character and is genuinely kind. #horrorwriterschat

How humor, camp, and gore can still be considered literary. I don't know who I'd have on there, maybe Triana, Hendrix, and Strand, and of course, myself 'cause I'm cool and stuff. #horrorwriterschat

Hi, I'm Vivian. I write horror, all kinds. My next book comes out next year and it's a campy, gory, trippy ride. You'll find penis's being flushed down a toilet, possible werewolves scenarios, big foot, theme park horrors, and a ghost that makes a jerk shit his pants. lol. #HorrorWritersChat

I am still floored by the audacity of religious types who think no soliciting doesn't apply to them. I am going to write, "Especially religious shit" underneath the sign. You shouldn't be knocking on strangers doors to proselytize. It's so damn rude. These people are truly like robotic sheep.
