A beautifully gothic, dark-magic image featuring the book's cover just off-centre to the right. To the left of the book's cover is a skull, seen slightly turned to the right, sitting on an open book of musical notes with yellowed pages. Behind it is a yellow burning candle with wax dripping down. A red rose and small statuette of a winged gargoyle lie in front of the cover. A burlap sack lies behind the cover. The colours are dark but softened as though softly lit by the candle. The book's cover itself feature a white woman, dressed in black lace, with two snakes around her shoulders and waist. She is in a graveyard and surrounded by spirits. A full moon rises behind her, and the colours are dark blues and greens. The rising moon gives everything a mysterious feel. The text on the cover reads Sarina Langer, Spirit Court, Number 1, A Call of Six Novel. The text on the background reads Out Now, Available in KU, sarinalanger.com

2026 is upon us, #HorrorWritersChat! And it is my privilege to start our new, weekly tradition for this year!

And what better horror to explore, than the horror of the self's transformation... through new beginnings.

Tonight!

Regret manifests by driving the story forward

When you try and get out of regret without working out your own issues, you tend to dig yourself deeper into trouble

Greetings #HorrorWritersChat

I'm Mary, wearing layers in this icy place (Greater Manchester, UK) where I write cosmic, gothic and weird horror.

Regret for things not done...and some actions taken are important concepts in my writing.

But few are looking for redemption. Especially my "villains".

You enter this gnarled gash. The ice emits a susurrus you find familiar – they speak of your life. Of your past. Forever slipping your grasp.

But the ice is also… curious.

Who are you, what do you write, and are regret & redemption important concepts in your horror stories?

It towers over you. The blue walls blacken with its shadow. Consequence undulates inside it.

It’s you. The real you. Who you’ve always been.

A thought claws and gnashes into your mind.

“My sins take shape. My sins gain sight. They turn towards me.”

Finish it.

I had to think about that. The characters in my horror fiction, if they do earn some kind of redemption, usually do so through an act of cleansing anger. They mostly overcome their own apathy to destroy themselves or a monster, but the resulting salvation is almost incidental.

The walls shimmer reflections of your life. The faces whisper judgement, accusation.

Why. Why were you like this?

Tears freeze on your cheeks. The glacier closes in.

Regret is often paired with redemption. What horrors must your characters face to earn it? *Can* they earn it?

Q1: #HorrorWritersChat

JD Buffington here, author of horror and scifi (and lamenting the state of the world).

I think redemption is a facet of change, so I suppose I’ve written some redemptive storylines, but I definitely weave guilt, regret, and their transformative properties.

Regret is a staple in my books. Humans are imperfect. We make mistakes. It's important to show we can recognize and try to atone for them.

I'm Stephanie Ellis, writer of folk horror, gothic, post-apocalyptic and a dash of historical horror.

Both seem to emerge naturally when I write, I think redemption is particularly important because it shows people can change, allows for their acceptance in society.
