Thanks Eryn,

Right now I'm writing a noir detective horror set in a sci-fi fantasy setting

My last book was the comedy 'KILLER KAGAMI'

But if you want struggling men who are too big for their britches, you can't go wrong with any of my books

Please, promo your stuff. Shout loud about what you've got on the boil. Tell us about your latest release.
However, please also: repost mutuals and those here tonight.
And if you could, repost some of Matt's books, who founded this chat and nursed it from its infancy.

They fear realising they are just an average, awkward bloke

Also, that they may not only live life never being loved, but had an opportunity to be loved unconditionally, and either ignored it or shunned it for something they felt entitled to

Reveals they be dumbasses

It's recent in life I discovered I was bi

I'm attracted to the masuline & the feminine

If it can be called subversion, I try portray this;

Dude's can be pretty
Ladies can be handsome

And in my second book, Lost Witness, this realisation make my male lead fight a revolution

Q3. I'm doing what I can to answer everyone, and repost, so bear with me. So I don't keep you waiting, I'll throw out 3. Interpret this one how you like. I know many queer folks like me do not align masculinity with man shaped. And with horror, we love to subvert our tales.

The guy who is seen as an or sees themselves as an authority, yet under the hood is someone who ain't up to snuff on much

They are propped up by a system that likes to keep them where they are, indulging their ego

Then they either wise up or get their mind shattered

I'm HD Beird, sexy & weird

HD this week stands for How Disgusting

Nowt to do with research on my name, just a general observation of the world innit?

I write horror drenched in sci-fi, scares and smut

All men in my stories like being treated like shit

It's how they feel seen

Q1 has arrived. It's international men's day today, and I thought actually that's a good topic. Not the easiest one to build questions around, either. So if I do not hit the mark I am sure you will forgive me.
As usual, no links, no pitches, not till the end.

Well right now I really love Robert Eggers' stuff

The Lighthouse is as close to perfect a movie you can watch, and Nosferatu was a great time

Love the works of Jordan Peele too, I'll never forget the first time I watched US

But recently?

28 Years Later by Danny Boyle

Love it

Q4 - CREDITS

Obviously, we’re staying through all of the credits to acknowledge the work of the artists, the musicians, the designers, the directors…etc.

#HorrorWritersChat - Shout out some of the horror creatives you admire and share what they do.

Stay around for the outro to share your work.

Oh that would be Fried Ocelot Spleen, sprinkled with the beak of a really pissed off Eagle, served with several middle fingers from rebellious gibbons and a nice refreshing cold pint of badgers piss

🤔

Hmm, personally I'd just sneak a Twix in or something

Q3 - INTERMISSION

Time for a refreshment break.

We head over to the concession stand and discover that all the food and drink are themed on your work.

#HorrorWritersChat - What refreshments are we enjoying and how are they related to your work?

#HorrorWritersChat

Oh wow, what a way to find out!

I guess it would be AMNION, since it's the most well known of my work (as in at least twenty people)

Since it's a one man show . . . I'll have Paddy Considine as The Dweller

Cause it's the only character and he's a fave actor

And it'd be unique

Q2 - COMING SOON

It’s time for the trailers.

And look #HorrorWritersChat - it’s a trailer for your very own horror work, adapted for the screen. Congrats!

Which work is it?

And which actor is playing your main protagonist, antagonist or fave character? Share your dream cast!
