🩸 “The tales are true of the sisters three: witches who know of all that is meant to be.”

Before she was Lady Macbeth, Thistle was a farm girl who dreamed of more. A storm brings three witches who foretell the future, promising her a crown in return for blood...

🧛 🩰 Abigail is a fun joyride, and definitely worth the watch! I loved the humor, unfolding character backstories, and the playful promise of premise.

📽️ Horror Movie is a psychological mindfuck, unlike anything I’ve ever read. It made me feel stressed out, disturbed, horrified, and INSPIRED - this book is a masterclass for horror writers.

“I don’t think I shall ever forget this story. It’s embedded in my veins. Wonderfully dark, brilliantly twisted, and utterly brilliant, Julia Jackson takes the lore of the world of Shakespeare’s Macbeth and brings a side out of it that should have always been seen - but was perhaps waiting for...

🤰 Have you seen Immaculate yet?

Visually stunning, gripping performances, and wonderful tension made every moment of this film unforgettable...

“What a wonderfully dark and delicious backstory for Lady Macbeth. Julia Jackson takes the classic tragedy and irrigates it with even more betrayal, heartbreak, and despair through poignant lines and emotive paragraphs. Out Damned Spot pays perfect homage to Shakespeare’s original work and yet...

Publishing this month!

April is finally here, and with it brings the release of CLASSIC CONVERSATIONS, an incredible anthology that I am so proud to be a part of.

The anthology features my horror short story, OUT, DAMNED SPOT, a prequel to Macbeth, where Lady Macbeth meets the three witches...

👻 “I see dead people”

This quote from the Sixth Sense is a pivotal part of the film, and one of the many moments where the final twist was staring us right in the face the whole entire time. This twist has had a huge influence on me as a writer. I start every story from the idea of a twist...

I’ve never enjoyed a short story collection more! Every single story in this collection is a page turner...scary as hell, yet thought provoking and haunting...

✍️Writers block? When you feel stuck with your writing, try to quiet the mind. A big part of my Channeling Story series teaches you how to tap into the subconscious mind to unlock parts of your story

📷 "Blink twice if I'm in danger"📷

This film gives you that creeping feeling from the beginning, and along with Slater’s guests, we know something just isn’t right.

If you like stories with good twists, plays on memory, and revenge, you’ll love Blink Twice...

🍽️ I ate this book up... the layered secrets... the unlikely friendships...the brilliant schemes and revenge...the way I had empathy for a fucking hole in the ground?!?! I recently finished Hull’s 8114, and immediately ordered Mouth - it did NOT disappoint...

⁉️ Who is the real villain? How are YOU like the antagonist of your story?

I love trying to connect to all my characters, to try to better understand the way their mind works. I especially love doing this with my villain. I ask myself how I am like them....

🍆Careful...🌸it bites...

I can’t believe I missed out on seeing this movie sooner. Released in 2007, this horror comedy had my cackling & cheering. It also made me mad AF. 18 years later and women are STILL dealing with the same bullshit-it really is too bad all our vaginas don’t have teeth....

👑🩸Lady Macbeth was the character behind the dagger, encouraging her husband to spill blood in the name of political gain🗡️But what happened before she became a Lady? How did she come to have such a longing for more, willing to manipulate her husband? My short story OUT, DAMNED SPOT is my imagining..

👀 Psychological horror with cannibalism told from a Korean-American perspective? Yes fucking please.
💙 From the first page I was obsessed with the spiraling of a young woman - her dissent into madness caused by the disgusting society and people who continually fail her....

🍴 🩸 Cannibalism in horror can be one of the most powerful ways to elicit a strong reaction-it makes the reader’s stomach turn in shock, disgust, and fear. But it goes way beyond that, acting as a symbol for love (Lucy Rose’s The Lamb), a key to survival (Yellowjackets), and the...

🏆Horror at the Oscars🌟
I LOVED seeing The Substance and other horror films nominated at the Oscars.
Horror is a unique way in which we can examine our society at large, and in the case of The Substance, exploring our ideas of fame, success, and aging.

🩸“Must I kill my father? As I killed my mother?”

Before she was Lady Macbeth, Thistle was a farm girl who dreamed of more. A storm brings three witches who foretell the future, promising her a crown in return for blood. And Thistle is willing to do anything to seal her fate...

Our stories are all about wounds.
How we were wounded.
What we think will numb the pain.
The journey we take to heal.
The scars we bear as a reminder.

Then we write pieces of ourselves in our stories through our characters...

🥩The Lamb is a truly delicious story of cannibals, told through the eyes of a child. Her innocence and @lucyrosecreates.bsky.social's delicate and beautiful writing are the perfect contrast to the gruesome events unfolding on the page....
