Hi 👋 I’m Charlie. I write fantasy horror, always mixing magic and the grotesque. So what if a secret society of witches participated a series of trials to sacrifice their own to an ancient god in exchange for power and magic?
Question 1:

Introduce yourself: tell us who you are, what you write, and your elevator pitch on your most recent / upcoming horror release!

No links, save them for the outro.

Quote post and include the tag #HorrorWritersChat. It's the only way other participants will find you.

THE HORRORS OF US is a genre bending fantasy with witches, violent and fast paced trials, and an FMC who just doesn’t give a damn.

My current draft is messiest first draft I’ve ever written. I think because it’s my 5th and I know it’s all on the chopping block and not permanent because I still gotta edit it.
Be honest? How bad was your first draft? My first draft was a mess of placeholders and run-on sentences.

Anyone writing today?

What’s your goal?

Set out to write a witchy horror novel dripping with blood. Ended up writing about the horrors of troubled mom + daughter relationships.

What’s the difference between fantasy horror and dark fantasy?

Trying to figure out what genre my book is…

My current place list for my fantasy horror (or is it dark fantasy?) for my WIP in progress. I hit 15K in it yesterday. Hoping to be at 20K by Friday.

There an a massive southern gothic house that groans loudly in the wind. Quinn would probably shepherd them to her mother so they could eat her instead.

Hi 👋 I’m Charlie. I tend to write a blend of horror and fantasy. I can’t write horror without some fantastical elements. I write horror because it feels like coming home after trying several other genres. I’m a 90’s kid, so I think Goosebumps— Evil Lawn Gnomes. #HorrorWritersChat
#HorrorWritersChat Question 1: Hi. I'm Ian. I'm hosting tonight. I'm very jet lagged. Let's start with who you are, what do you write, and why do you write? Then, what weird creature lurks in the dark corners of your very 1980s mind?

A grieving twin enters a converted halfway house for magical youth seeking answers for her brother's death. But something strange stalks the halls at Vignette, & if she's not careful, she'll become the academy's latest masterpiece.
