Thank you Eryn and #HorrorWritersChat people.
This time of year makes us grateful for a warm place to sleep and turns our thoughts to those who don’t.
This charity anthology (which includes my story “A Tall, Thin House”) benefits women and children experiencing homelessness.

Thanks for another great #HorrorWritersChat, Eryn. As for what I have to promote, that would be my now public January featured story for The #ShadowBoxArchives. Given current events, I hope readers find it cathartic. If anyone likes my work, consider supporting us

Every night the scratching came from behind the wall. Now it was time to redecorate & remove the awful panels the previous owner had put up. She hacked away slowly, getting ready to jump back at a moment's notice. But there was nothing. Only a tiny window & a tree the other side.

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.

The mirrors in her house had been covered for years; she hadn’t seen her own face in so long. As she stared at her reflection, she realized she no longer looked like the doll in her hands. The girl staring back at her resembled her beloved older sister. Time had changed her.

Jan counts to 10, hears her sister run down the empty hall. Their parents have are in town.
But there are feet behind the curtain.
She wants to find her sister but she can't look away. The shape of a man that isn't a man pulls the fabric. She knows she will never be found.

Gus had something to say, he had the three words on the tip of his tongue for weeks, repeated them in silence like a mantra, but didn't dare say them aloud to the person who needed to hear them. Now he would. Gus looked at the man in the mirror. "You're good enough."

Deep breath. Hold it. Let it out. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Don't open your eyes yet. No need to see her yet. This is all time only in your mind, all time just for you. Hold it. You can do this. Open your eyes and say it.

HD could feel the eyes on them
Observing?
Judging?
They could not say, but the longer they put off confronting the fellow elevator passenger, the worse the ride would be
So they turned, and their stomach twisted into a helix
As waiting for them
Was a compliment!

I keep walking past the guest room. There is a red light seeping from the door. The dread I feel is unbearable. I must face it, I've been putting it off for weeks. I open the door, and what I find is worse. A portal, with a behemoth on the other side staring back at me.

I spent years delaying leaving. I wouldn't survive, she said. It's too expensive, she said. They'll take advantage of you and you'll be heartbroken.
But you broke my heart, Ma: when I finally got out, I realized the world was hard but beautiful. And you wanted to keep me from it. #HorrorWritersChat

I wanted to avoid nothing. I wanted to live. I wanted to feel every experience I could. But I gave up last night. I looked at the nothing and it looked back. It rested its head on me. Now I'm in this hospital, because I feel nothing in my body at all.

Becky pulled the sheet over her face as the thing in the closet repeatedly thumped against the door. Minutes ticked by, the sound growing louder and louder. Her parents wouldn’t answer her cries that there was a monster in her closet.
Becky finally crept toward the closet...

I fear my bedroom closet, the childhood worry that never left. As an adult, I imagine someone living in there, watching me.
I push myself to look inside, there… is the body. My sin laid bare.
I close the door, stepping back. I let cloudy fear take over again, obscuring memories.

I am still figuring out what limits I have with intense body horror. My current WIP has some incredibly graphic stuff in it but, at the same time, it's fascinating. At what point does something being done turn from gross to cruel to creative? Is there a point?

This question is not about the comfortable places that we go with horror. But the uncomfortable ones. The ones that turn us inside out even as we write them. The ones that make us wonder who we are, at the end. #HorrorWritersChat

I remember writing Woman in White and I just could not write one scene. At that point I'd written the dark, terrifying stuff.
To write where Emily 'saved' the people she thought were most at risk? By god.

Honestly, I can't think of anything. If I'm not working on anything new, it's because I'm doing so much editing and I don't have the time for anything new.
That being said, I would probably put off a scene involving vivid descriptions of assault. Even if it was somehow necessary. #HorrorWritersChat
