Question four - Credits - Shout out some of the horror creatives you admire and share what they do. Quote Post your answer with the hashtag. Don’t forget to like/share other answers and chat in the comments! #HorrorWritersChat - The text is projected on a large cinema screen. The audience hasn’t seemed to notice the red dripping from the top left of the screen or the shadowy figure pressing against the screen, seemingly upside down, trying to get out. But one person on the left has slightly raised their hand.

Here's a book I loved!
I think you'll love it too!

Jack & Jill by @kealanpatrickburke.bsky.social
Relationship strife ✔️
Mental health examination ✔️
Dreams that feel all too real ✔️
An ending that'll shock you ✔️

This novella is phenomenal, panic-inducing & a fascinating psychological journey.
