Would be remiss if I didn't mark the occasion with something V for Vendetta related. We got a glimmer of hope last night but we still got work to do, y'all. Keep up the fight, support each other, and let's build a movement that can't be ignored and won't be forgotten!

I think we need to bring back the fear of the sea. Deep sea mining can have massive ecological impacts and I'm not entirely sure it's worth it. Let's bring back the sections of the map we dare not tread, for there be monsters in those waters.

Q4, and this is the last one for tonight. Hang around for the pimp your book part of the night in 10 minutes. Please do repost others. Please do go and repost one of Matt's books as well.
Thanks thanks.

Still figuring out how to blend these, but I think it always goes back to the unknown. We didn't know what lurked in the dark, and we can no longer say for sure what's beyond our screens. Is the threat human, corporate, artificial, or are the ghosts in the machine more literal?

So what does it say about us, as the folklore evolves, and we fear new things, in the dark...

Superstitions surrounding luck fascinate me. They're just a small way for us to feel in control over the chaos of life, and stories like Final Destination have so much fun playing with them!

Hey y'all, I'm Bryce! I generally write occult horror and cyberpunk. And my childhood fear was probably dolls. Had my mom describe the plot of Child's Play to me as a kid and it scarred me for life 😅

#horrorwriterschat
Hola, Horror Writers. I'm going to post and eat as I've pretty much just walked in. But, we're all about it today, so close to Halloween!
Tell me tell me. What scared you as a child?

No links, no hawking books please, till the end. Thanks Thanks.

Though sharks have been vilified by horror writers for years, scientists and activists know they aren't so bad. The truth about sharks, at the SFF Bestiary:

There's just something about a good radio station that makes music hit different. Idk, maybe it's the fun bumpers or the commentary provided by the hosts between songs, but I find it far easier to just passively listen to 89X than whatever the algorithm decides on. Good curation helps too, I'm sure.

Between the Detroit Tigers and the Carolina Hurricanes, can I please have a team that doesn't go into extended playoff overtime? I'm still recovering from the last one!

A few months late, but so excited to hear 89X came back on the air in Detroit! That radio station defined my taste in music as a kid. Definitely going to be streaming that as I work and looking forward to listening when I'm back in the area!

In order for the United States to become a party to the International Criminal Court and have our officials be subject to trial at The Hague, the US Senate would need to ratify the Rome statute by a two-thirds vote. Let’s start running on that.

Not the first to observe it but it bears repeating: If artists didn’t matter so much, they wouldn’t come after us first. Stay safe as best you can. Keep working.

Got another surge of creativity over the past couple weeks! Drafted another 3 stories, one of which was my attempt to be literary by way of stream of consciousness. We'll see if anything comes of these but, overall, I'm pretty satisfied!

Ton of great stories and art in this one! It’s also, unfortunately, getting more relevant by the day so pick it up if you want some cathartic fiction to cope with our current tech-based hellscape.
