My name is VK Delano and I am a writer focusing on religious and lovecraftian horror with LGBTQ+ characters and stories. I am currently working on the first draft of Casefile: TM and I have begun the outline process for Casefiles RT and SS.
Casefiles are just the working titles for my novels until the right names make themselves known to me

“Darker and darker, farther and farther yet. Death takes the good, the beautiful, and the young- and spares me. The Pestilence that wastes, the Arrow that strikes, the Sea that drowns, the Grave that closes over Love and Hope, are the steps of my journey that take me nearer and nearer to the End.”

Going through old files in my google drive and found some poems that fucking hit now more than they did six years ago when I wrote them

Finding a group of creatives has been both incredibly rewarding and challenging. Bc what do you mean I get awesome music to listen to and you want to read the latest part of my novel while I look at the illustrations for your book?

Yesterday I worked late so I ended up missing the first day of novel November. And now I’m catching up by doubling up and for some reason, my brain… is not cooperating with me? Like I’m not even a quarter done and it’s doing the “erase it all delete the draft hide in a ditch” bit.

Joined Novel November for this year with an idea that’s been floating around in my brain for a few years now and I’m excited to finally put the world onto paper.

I’ve been working on a side project for personal research and now I want to incorporate handwritten, poorly scanned notes and things into Casefile: RT. I think it would add to the whole “found footage” style I’m trying to go for

The rapture is coming they say and suddenly I’m a child again.
Cold and alone, despite the sun streaming through the windows and the voices singing the praises of a loving and caring god.
The same god that condemned me to a path of pain and hopelessness.
How many times must I survive this?

“So God told me that my pastor’s wife is gonna die on this day and the pastor and I are gonna live happily ever after” I’m gonna hold your hand when I say this: WAS THAT GOD OR WAS THAT A MURDER CONFESSION FROM YOUR PASTOR

Got some new horror books to ring in the spooky season! In other news, I’m incapable of spending less than 50$ at a bookstore at any given time.

I hate it when authors of true crime (or anything historical really) can’t put information in their own words. Just straight ripping from other sources without proper credit. I am not even two chapters into this book and I have seen so many lines that are ripped straight from other books or sources-

I think the way that people draw on certain events from history really shows you how they actually see the victims of those events. Yes I’m still angry about how a certain author and director each portrayed the Jonestown Massacre or their “adaptation” of it.

I am genuinely convinced that the secret to every horror novel from the 70s-80s was copious amounts of cocaine and sex.
