I'm Marat & I write gay gothic stories.
Usually they're strange and existential.
My vampire novel is debuting in March & I'm very nervous & excited

I lucid dream so I've had many scary ones it's hard to choose. I had recurring nightmares of being eaten by bugs as a kid. That was always terrifying
You awake in a ruined hall stretching into the void. Sunken oil paintings surround you, each a mimicry of your past agonies.

A clinch crushes your lungs. A question lances your mind.

Tell us who you are, what do you write, and what was the
scariest dream you’ve ever had?

So many beautiful writing related things happened to me today I want to cry.

I usually feel like I'm shouting into the void just to be swallowed up into the nothing. But today showed me that maybe one or two people heard me.

I feel very full!

yes & no.

My entire novel is feels like a dream.
Arc readers described the atmosphere as surreal & dreamlike which is purposeful.

I used a lot of devices to achieve this, such as the MC questioning his senses & sanity, strange weather, time being weird etc... But there are no literal dreams.
The hall sprouts into a forest, its trees darker than shadows.
Its hum rakes your ears. The skulking shapes leaden your legs.

They draw near. A query bursts inside you.

Are horror dreamscapes a factor in your stories? If not, how would you write a horror dreamscape?

My second and last #sludgepit offering is my vampire noir DEAD ENDS #WIP #H #D I'm working hard on it, but currently my most realistic estimate is it will be out sometime in 2027. I'm very excited about this one.

Heard there was a #sludgepit happening, so I'm throwing my hat in the ring.

A vampire noble finds themselves swept into a conspiracy after being gifted a low-blood criminal as a so-called bodyguard.

My contribution to #sludgepit is my Gothic horrormance with people-eating necromancers, dubiously consented to servitude, and a feral black cat main character who would fight anything and anyone. #HR #DR #WIP

And I chose very #spudgepit specific tags of course.

Because I know what my fellow degenarates are interested in.

Seth has some debatable k!nks and a general lack of self preservation instinct. That's probably why his life became a gore and lust filled descent into hell.

Had group therapy this morning and my body just up and decided it does not want to leave the bed and my chronic ilnesses are ilnessing hard.
Just when I feel like I'm doing better, my body makes sure I remember that I'm not abled bodied.
Been stuck in bed all day too sick to work.
Rest day it is
