#SFFChat Q3: What aspects of your work would you most like to stick with readers?
This was poorly phrased! Sort of, "what would you most like readers to take away" but in a less immediate sense.

Apologies that the October prompt list for #SFFChat is so late! When I wasn't able to get it done for the first I wasn't sure if I should do it, but in the end I made one.
Hope the continuation of the spooky theme isn't a bother--interpret the prompts as broadly as you need to (including snippets)

#SFFChat Q3: What SFF or speculative horror author do you think does creepy scenes esp. well? Maybe there's an author who you don't read because they scared you so much, or a fantasy writer whose prose raises the hair on your arms (because it's creepy, not because it's bad, ahaha).
