So, fun fact, Cosmic Carnage shares what I feel is the best short story I've ever written; a haunted house in space mystery inspired by Event Horizon. Please do yourselves a favour and buy these, some great stories in here!

Because what #writers space is complete without a MIDI keyboard, some octopus plushies, and a lucky @oddworldinc.bsky.social statue? This one comes courtesy of author @lwyoungauthor.bsky.social ,

#authorsofbluesky what does YOUR writing space look like?

Currently working on my #scifi #horror short story 'Ageless Eon' for the next @sinistersoc.bsky.social anthology, so made a little collage of my main influences for this particular piece.

Look forward to this new title from @marielestrange.bsky.social, a #horror take on one of #America 's most famouse unanswered mysteries

Crimson Cult Media @sinistersoc.bsky.social · Dec 29

From @LestrangeBooks, author of "Crimson Cobblestones", comes a visceral hypothetical #horror of America’s most unanswered question: What happened to the Lost Colony of #Roanoke? @NetGalley reviewers say "engaging" and a "page turner". Get your copy: https://bit.ly/4gOpNXn
