If you'd like to read my story about the akaname in my bathroom, it's called MUD LICKER, based on Japanese folklore. It appears in the anthology LIKE A MYTH (2009). It's erotic horror & I published it as Elizabeth Black. The book is erotica.

I'm working on the last book in the dark supernatural urban fantasy Meridian series under my other name. Angels, gargoyles, demons, witches, vampires, werewolves... All standalones (so you can read whichever), and all a fun, super spicy time.

I'm Michael, I write queer cosmic & supernatural horror.
Every queer person has had to overcome long odds in a world filled with remote, hostile forces and their human agents among us. We need stories about surviving them and about being stronger for it.

Evening all! William Beck here.
For me, my writing is a flashlight in the dark. A beacon trained on the troubles we face in life, to inspire hope & will to survive. It's all about scaring away the darkness that threatens to consume us. And that's why I call it Hopeful Horror.

I'd forgotten. I kept the thing covered for so long.
That heavy sheet hiding any specters or peering eyes that may have pierced me. But past the dust and the glare, it's just a mirror.
As unfamiliar as the years have made me, the only hateful face I have to meet is my own.

Any description of battle gets put off. I find these scenes very hard to write without being spatially confusing. Just my luck—my novel in progress is full of pistol and knife fights. I'm comforted knowing that most writers aren't very good at this stuff, either. Homer was.

Hi, I’m Theodore Snapdragon, queer SFF writer, including spec horror.
I’ve always been fascinated by horror; it’s so intense.
I struggle with anxiety, clinical levels of it. Horror gives an outlet to express and share, to be with others in my experience of fear rather than alone.
