Today is the first day of October aka Halloween 1st and that means I'm bringing back spooky writing prompts with #2SpookySentences! Concoct a spooky story, two sentences at a time.

I'm a southern Black writer in the horror community, but I've been considering making this change anyway. I don't want to be complicit in people feeling comfortable using slurs out of context or minimizing their damage.
#2SpookySentences is now #2ScarySentences

Yeah, I still stand by everything I said in this, and none of it has really gotten better that I've seen. Fat Liberation is an exhausting thing to work on, and the volume of thoughtless microaggressions from people who should be allies continues to be crushing.

I was hungry for a story today. Thank goodness. "The Frost Fair" by Tony Walker (Classic Ghost Stories Podcast) is a very delicious treat.

Allowing violence upon the most vulnerable of us (bipoc folks, trans folks, disabled folks, etc) means that EVERYONE will be subject to violence eventually. If you do not stop it toward them, it will not stop toward you. It will just keep happening.

Delicious tender meat
Soaked in sweetness, rippled with fat

The smallest of favours it seems, was letting the Lych into your world. Your connection has let it reach more power than it could have envisioned in its rune etched brain.

Finally getting around to watching "I Know What You Did Last Summer" (2025) and y'all. I am under 2 minutes into this film and the dialogue is already on some Hallmark shit. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING.

Thrilled to see writers taking the folk horror genre in fascinating new directions. The new anthology from @neilwilliamson.bsky.social, Blood in the Bricks, focuses on the folk horror potential of urban areas and launches at World Fantasy Convention next weekend. Dig it!
Book Review: Blood in the Bricks, edited by Neil Williamson
Why shouldn’t folk horror take place in the cities? Most of the ingredients are there: isolation, ritual, and superstition. Folk horror lives whenever the folk go, after all. And while urban areas …

Frozen in place, by a wave of sleep paralysis, you and the Lochlych, realize the deep reach of the dreaming. The ghoul was leaning in to share its secrets, its hot breath in your ear, now only utters curses and venom.

The itch you can't scratch at the back of your mind tells you that you are in the waking world, and aren't subject to the whims of sleep.You push yourself awake, like an axe through a doorway, you burst through the reality of the waking world into something else...

One way or another, the thing that was keeping the Lochlych trapped in the dreams, would capture it and drag it back. The ghoul had made itself into the stuff of nightmares, so to be among the awake, fleshy creatures was unnatural.

Fix it in place, hold in down, devour the ghoul to learn its secrets. Or will you have to peel the rune-marked skin from its flesh and wear it's secrets as a suit?

What was left behind, a trail of blood splatter and the smell of cardamom and old magic, leads me right to them. They are surprised to see me, but when the lochlych looks into my hungry eyes it is knowingly pleased.

An unsated appetite for games is what hold the Locklych to this world. The realms beyond death may hold paradise or damnation, but the Locklych only cares to smugly outwit death, to win against the ultimate tilted table.
