Black velvet in that little boy's smile
Black velvet in that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring you to your knees
Black velvet if you please

CRYING, SCREAMING, THROWING UP: On Grief & Horror

My FREE, VIRTUAL master class for the Western Colorado University Graduate Program in Creative Writing is next Monday, November 17! You do not need to be affiliated with Western or have prior writing experience to attend. Tell your friends!
A free virtual class with Western's low-residency Graduate Program in Creative Writing CRYING, SCREAMING, THROWING UP On Grief & Horror With Genre Fiction Faculty Lindsay King-Miller With its rich vocabulary of extreme circumstances and tropes, the horror genre is well suited to express a range of strong emotions: not just fear, but love, rage, and especially sorrow. In this class, we'll draw on examples from literature and film to discuss the function of grief in a horror writer's toolbox and how writing about loss can create tension and fear. MONDAY, NOVEMBER 17 5-6 PM MT

I'm at the desecrated cemetery, I'm at the gay cruising ground, I'm at the combination desecrated cemetery and gay cruising ground (and yes, climbing a tree here counts as research for my novel)

I am living on borrowed time.
A tube of Sensodyne toothpaste and a tube of Vanicream face lotion. They are the same size and shape with an almost identical color palette, such that a tired or distracted person could easily mix them up and slather her face in toothpaste.

I tried to get cute at the playground with my kid today, and ended up with rope burns and blisters all over my hands. Later, in an unrelated incident, I fell down the stairs. I am not qualified to operate complex equipment such as a human body.

Tag yourself I'm the gravestone with glowing roots
Horrible AI slop graphic of signs of decay in caskets, with labels like "sunkel gravet in tes casket" which do not meaningfully correspond to the images of coffins, graves, and anatomically nonsensical skeletons accompanying them.

I needed to look up how long it takes different types of caskets to decompose (yes, this is for one sentence of my WIP that I'll probably end up cutting anyway), and I came across this helpful graphic. JFC how are people not embarrassed to publish shit like this on their professional websites?
Absolutely horrible AI slop diagram of decomposition in various environments, or as it's labeled at the top left, "Differenvironments casket Decomptation." Nothing about it makes sense or contains usable information, but it does have a thermometer with the caption "Microrgosials decompsuckly."

Here are some more friends from the normal carousel (Lakeside Amusement Park, Denver: "Actually, Fewer People Have Died Here than You Might Think!")
Red pig on a carousel. Its mouth is open with its tongue sticking out, and its eyes are unsettlingly human. Blue rabbit on a carousel. A lot of its blue paint is worn off, revealing the wood underneath. It visibly hates you. Unicorn in some kind of fancy mask on a carousel. It just looks wrong, man, I don't know how to explain it. This is not a good unicorn.

My second novel, THIS IS MY BODY, comes out August 5. It's gory, gay, and (if you don't mind my saying so) good as hell. @sarahgailey.bsky.social called it "hideously satisfying." @scumbelievable.bsky.social called it "a brutal, brilliant story of motherhood, memory, and religion." Pre-order now!

Matthew Lillard as Stu and Skeet Ulrich as Billy in SCREAM. They are smiling and leaning against each other, Stu's front to Billy's back, in a way that defies heterosexual explanation. Billy has fake blood on his face and neck.
