Currently reading Our Wives Under the Sea, and god is it luscious and deliciously haunting.

Julia Armfield’s prose are out of this world!

Book review pt 1

Wake Up and Open Your Eyes by @claymcleod.bsky.social is a brutally good book. Full of gag-worthy gore, an all too realistic cast of characters, and page-turning scenes, this books is a prime example of how to do horror well.

I’m 100 pages into Wake Up and Open Your Eyes by @claymcleod.bsky.social and it’s genuinely one of the scariest books I’ve read in a long time for more reasons than one.

Also, if you are still traumatized by the scare scenes in The Visit like I am this book will hit the spot 😈.

This is a PSA to check out the classes at your local community college. I’m currently taking a class called “Writing Monsters” and it’s so incredibly fun and helpful 😈.

A House with Good Bones by T. Kingfisher is a morsel of southern gothic goodness. I feel like Sam, the MC, gives me Virgo vibes and in true Kingfisher form her monsters had my stomach churning and goosebumps rising.

Reading a novel is a great way to relax. Writing a novel is like encountering an eldritch horror and trying to tell it what to do.

But, like, in a good way.

As a writer you gotta do what you gotta do to get that word count and sometimes that means writing on the bus, or in line at the post office, or waiting for your third coffee….oh, you get the picture.

What’s one horror movie you don’t think has received enough recognition?

I’ll go first: Never Let Go

The “monsters” in this movie and twists won’t leave my mind.

Two stages of writing:

1) This shouldn't take too long
2) Oh no

The community I’m trying to build here is a convergence of horror movies, hot queer people, and poets and writers. Is that so much to ask?
