#HorrorWritersChat I wanted everybody to know that yesterday I emailed my local library asking that they stock one of @chaoticauthor.online 's books. I do think it's something small we can all do to help remember him.

#HorrorWritersChat I'm not sure if I'm the right person to do this, but I can't imagine a better way to remember Matt than through his work. So, for anyone who hasn't yet, check it out: mgmasoncreative.com/all-my-books/

#HorrorWritersChat Question 4: My book. For anyone unaware, I'm writing a sequel to the Universal adaptation of Dracula from 1931. It's Public Domain in 2027, and God willing I'll self-publish on New Years Day! Shorten copyright protections! 95 years is absurd!
#HorrorWritersChat Q4
Now to The Horrors.
In his blog post
CREATING PERSONAL MEANING IN A DARK WORLD IS HOW WE TAKE A STAND,
Matt said “finding joy in being a creative person is an act of rebellion.”
Share a creative outlet that brings you joy and/or feels like an act of rebellion.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 3: I rarely dream beyond finding readers who think I'm worth their time. Turning a profit seems like a high aspiration to me. As for actual dreams, I rarely remember them.
#HorrorWritersChat Q3
This one is going to be hard.
One of the last things Matt asked us at Horror Writers Chat was to share a horror writing related dream.
This can be;
> an actual dream that inspired you.
> a dream you have for your writing career.
Interpret this any way you’d like.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 2: It means darkness. It means stories of outsiders. It means uncomfortable questions. Actually being afraid can be a surprisingly low priority for me.
#HorrorWritersChat Q2
This is one of Matt’s favourite questions to ask us:
What does horror mean to you?

🕯 Every one of these chats is a happy memory of Matt.
#HorrorWritersChat Question One: Penname is Victor K Sanders. I write nostalgic horror based on old movies. I also do the occasional creepypasta.

Thanks for attending our gathering today.
First, introduce yourself & share the horror subgenres you write.
Then, please share a happy memory you have of Matt OR a happy memory of being part of this community he started.
If the feelings are too raw right now, post a candle 🕯️

#HorrorWritersChat Question 4: A lack of control. They all want power over their own fates, and usually the fate of others.
Q4 is up. Ten minutes to outro and the promo: I am still working my way through. You're all wonderful busy bees today and I adore you!
This one is a little easier. No archetypes!

#HorrorWritersChat Question 3: If I don't do all of these things, I would have completely failed at creating a decently diverse cast.
Q3. I'm doing what I can to answer everyone, and repost, so bear with me. So I don't keep you waiting, I'll throw out 3. Interpret this one how you like. I know many queer folks like me do not align masculinity with man shaped. And with horror, we love to subvert our tales.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 1: Victor K. Sanders and I write stories based on old horror movies. And I can't think of much the men have in common except maybe a sense of urgency.
Here we go, #HorrorWritersChat!
Q1 has arrived. It's international men's day today, and I thought actually that's a good topic. Not the easiest one to build questions around, either. So if I do not hit the mark I am sure you will forgive me.
As usual, no links, no pitches, not till the end.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 4: "So much information about the evolution of aquatic mammals, destroyed with that fossil."
I knew you all were fine additions to our Collegiate. Here – an ancient scroll, on which a sentence has been carved, and you must finish it: “My chisel cracks the seal open. Only then, did I understand the folly of my curiosity.” Continue it as you see fit, my friends.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 3: The human brain was never meant to advance this far. We're a bunch of monkeys who figured out how to split the atom. Unless we can fundamentally change our nature, we're probably doomed.
A moment; let me note this. The Primrose Collegiate appreciates your honesty and insight. Hm, an explosion? Yes, a seal is being pried open tonight. Now, listen carefully; what IS a Terrible Truth to you? What must be hidden from Humanity, lest it destroys us?

#HorrorWritersChat Question 2: To me, the most terrible truth is the horror everyone knows, but know one speaks of. The truth of Omelas, if you will.
Tonight’s attendance is most fortuitous, wouldn’t you agree? Mind the arcane energies coruscating in the laboratory; our work is, as always, dangerous. Now then, tell me; how would you describe an ideal seal containing a Terrible Truth? Where is it located?

Ah, good evening, friend. Dr. Bedlam, at your service. Our esoteric laboratory has just opened. Come in, we are doing vital work on studying the cosmic unknown. Tell us, what do you write, and what seal do you own that contains a Terrible Truth hidden from Humanity?

#HorrorWritersChat Question 4: How about fear of peasant revolts? Not nearly enough of that around anymore.
Q4, and this is the last one for tonight. Hang around for the pimp your book part of the night in 10 minutes. Please do repost others. Please do go and repost one of Matt's books as well.
Thanks thanks.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 3: Obviously I keep the old in my stories. But, if anyone knew our next great fear, it would already be our current great fear.
So what does it say about us, as the folklore evolves, and we fear new things, in the dark...

Hola, Horror Writers. I'm going to post and eat as I've pretty much just walked in. But, we're all about it today, so close to Halloween!
Tell me tell me. What scared you as a child?
No links, no hawking books please, till the end. Thanks Thanks.

Oh, the horror! Perhaps my next scary story will be about a man who calls a cousin his Aunt! True terror ripped from the headlines!
My kids grew up calling a dear friend of mine “Uncle Phil,” now I know they were just little liars / likely terrorists
lmao
