I don't normally do this, but I've been burning the candle at both ends.

Other half had a major op earlier this year and now I'm in hospital for an investigation.

Regardless of what's wrong, I need rest, but I've had little work this year.

I'd appreciate if anyone is able to help out.

Hi. I'm Blair. Currently in VT hunkering down from the storm that is the current USA. I write comic books, and as of late, mostly horror comics.

Hm. I wear a half-mask like the Phantom of the Opera, not to hide scarring, but to hide the darker nature of myself.

Be welcomed to the ethereal music hall! A stringed aperitif is in order… do tell the Symposium what do you write, from where… and what IS, indeed, your wraithful visage for tonight?
#HorrorWritersChat

Art by Jelle Husson, featuring a haunted monastery of many sharp-tipped towers scraping at the midnight sky. The largest is in the centre of the structure’s roof, whose walls are painted white. The monastery is located above a hilly terrain of dark stone and dark green moss. A stony, twisting road leads to the monastery.

Question One

Come in, come in! The Phantasmal Symposium has just begun! Settle in the ruined music hall, and tell us – what do you write, from where, and in what ghostly visage have you arrived at our askewed doorstep?

No links, covers, or self-promo! Leave that for the end! Quote the post & include the hashtag!

... and turn, shaking the rain from your brow. You watch, slack mouthed, as the caskets rise from the earth & begin to slide down the hill. You toss up your hands & swear to God. Keeping the bodies from a mudslide was never covered as part of your priestly duties.

Come forth, Baron Crescendo! Let your guitar split the sky open, for more wraiths to dazzle us!

Behold, a note from him, for you!

“The moment you entered the graveyard, the scrape of ancient stone shadowed your ears.”

Finish it! With word of rhyme, before we dance to the end!

Concluding? Oh please! The Phantasmal Symposium’s work is eternal, as is the thirst for alive souls! We are simply twirling away elsewhere…

Now is your time to join us! What do you write? In what crypts can we peruse it? What more do you have to share?

The moment you entered the graveyard, the scrape of ancient stone shadowed your ears. The rubbing of the tombstone revealed a child who had died of influenza at 3 y. o. in 1918. Rather than rely on medicine, his parents prayed. You feel despair over a child's preventable death.

And yet you persisted, walking to your fate, skirts gathered in one pale hand. Delivering yourself to the monster at the appointed time to save your family, little knowing that you were dooming each generation to carry forward the curse #horrorwriterschat

I mostly enjoy more modern depictions of ghosts, as in the last hundred and fifty years or so, whether anecdotal or fictional. Ghosts as echoes, ghosts as specters of the dead, ghosts repeating entrenched and violent patterns, ghosts with unfinished business.

Listen to the Symposium’s finest vocalist, as their tenor bends the living into unnatural angles and swivels them into the air! Tell us, what ghosts do you prefer? Of the folkloric tradition, or those invented by authors? And why?

Question Three

Art by Jelle Husson, featuring a haunted monastery of many sharp-tipped towers scraping at the midnight sky. The largest is in the centre of the structure’s roof, whose walls are painted white. The monastery is located above a hilly terrain of dark stone and dark green moss. A stony, twisting road leads to the monastery.

It is always a delight to see our violinists perform! How the living bend their splintering bones as they float above us all! Tell us, our ghostly compatriots – which of us are better? Of the folkloric kind? Or invented by our shadowy creators?

I'm not going to get into the business of ranking ghosts. That's how you call down an eldritch haunting that crosses generations. I love them all equally, like a good mom. #horrorwriterschat
