Dance with me until the moon hides its face,
And the sun attempts to quicken the pace.
From the sunlight, the vampire turns his face,
And dancers twirl to the light’s frenzied pace.
2024 has been a busy year, with the "completion" of The Nod/Wells Timelines, the release of my first two audiobooks, and the announcement of "8" and its associated "story singles" but there's even more to come! Give me a follow so you don't miss anything!
I haven't seen #Abigail yet but it appears to share some similarities with the French movie #LIVID (aka #LIVIDE.) At least peripherally.
I think they are probably very different in tone, but LIVID is on #Shudder (or it was) and I HIGHLY recommend it. And I'd be curious as to what people who've seen Abigail think. (No spoilers, though, please.)
Writing a horror novella with a romance subplot made me realize... I haven't read any modern romance novels! Need to expand my horizon so I am super open to recommendations!
My #bookreview is brief/won't spoil, to spread good, great, & spectacular #horror#books far & wide.
💙📚 HOT DEMON BITCHES NEAR YOU from J.E. Erickson is an exuberant blast of gore & grue. The Horrors are heavy here, but balanced with deliciously devilish delights & a LOT of heart. (Lots of OTHER body parts, too.) You'll be disturbed, delighted, horrified- but also cackling. HELL, yeah! (Self-published)
Fuck off #Meta. Please also take note Apple™ & Google™ and every other fucking company foisting and forcing this bullshit on us.
I'm so glad I barely use FB and gave up on IG long ago. They were trash fires before, and they've now guaranteed that I will continue to forever avoid them, with the burning passion of a million furious suns.
Author copies arrived of this bulky anthology of African ghost stories. Now I can say that my story was published in the same book as the legend, Amos Tutuola!
INTERTWINED NARRATIVES OF MOTHERHOOD and madness weave a subtly unsettling spell in this little gem of a novel of psychological horror and suspense. B PLUS
@bookstodon My #review of Indian Burial Ground by Nick Medina is now live! This would be even creepier and more tense if the narrative had been arranged differently, but otherwise it's pretty awesome.
The author mentions that it's less like its Sandman origin (which is one of the most horrific parts of the series aside from the diner, imo). But I think that's because it's based more on the spinoff comics (which seemed very YA to me). I still loved it & feel like it marries the two.
Plus it starts leaning more into some horror in the third episode 🤷
Dread is the only Books of Blood story where I have to gird my loins before I do a re-read (jokes about "dreading" it could be made 😝). I find it genuinely disturbing in a way that I don't his other works.

WHEN THE DEVIL is a novelette from Emma E. Murray that packs many horrors inside of its compelling, feverish intensity. Libby's world is dark and cruel, and any peace, joy, or deliverance comes with a price. Devils abound, but sometimes the fruit they offer makes the damnation worth it. (Shortwave Publishing)
Nostalgia is a plague, especially when the people pushing it either remember it incorrectly or weren't even alive to see it...
Feel free to bring back the 90's in makeup and fashion, though: my eyebrows will thank you and I can continue to just wear what's already in my closet, only now I won't be an outlier 😂
I started watching this one last night but dozed off halfway through. Not because I was bored but because I'm at that age where I shouldn't start a movie past 9pm. I'll finish it tonight. It gave off "Talk To Me" vibes with bad things that happen when people contact the dead. #baghead#shudder#horror@horror
