Image is white text over a black background. It reads "all that glitters is not gold, charlie morgan" "Her mother always said the fae were dangerous, wicked things. But Eira had never seen a fae, and as far as she was aware, they only existed in bedtime stories. Tucked between thick pages and dried ink, the biggest threat they posed was heavy eyelids, hungry for sleep." "featured in not your ever after" "coming November 6th"

image is text over a sparkly black background. it reads "code red, c. p. ashton" "Scarlet scowled at the objectively punchable face of Logan O’Connell—all twelve of them. The entire wall was lined with televisions, and Logan was on every single one as he prepared to hold an emergency press conference. She was far too hungover and not nearly caffeinated enough to deal with his bullshit this morning." "featured in not your ever after" "coming November 6th"

Made a similar graphic for a pitch event on IG. Thought I’d be fun to share my first line here too.

My entry for #WIPSnips - Scrub

Red moon over trees. Text Says “and even though I would anger my mother, Gwen would come. She always does. But she doesn’t have the power to scrub the crimson stains from my millennial gray couch. I need someone who can destroy the macabre painting I’ve created.”

Hi 👋 I’m Charlie. I write fantasy horror, always mixing magic and the grotesque. So what if a secret society of witches participated a series of trials to sacrifice their own to an ancient god in exchange for power and magic?

NIGHT SKY - A Mary Wyrd premade book cover. Four arrows are pointing at it saying: your title; your book?; your name; your tagline. www.marywyrd.com - The title Night Sky is in an allcaps font made of a glowing outline. The background is a building surrounded by trees in the bottom third, the rest is the night sky with green lights. A multicolored wavy line runs through the image.

THE HORRORS OF US is a genre bending fantasy with witches, violent and fast paced trials, and an FMC who just doesn’t give a damn.

Same!

Charlie Writes Horror @ghostinherpen.bsky.social · Aug 12

My current draft is messiest first draft I’ve ever written. I think because it’s my 5th and I know it’s all on the chopping block and not permanent because I still gotta edit it.

Georgina Kiersten @ingloriousgigi.bsky.social · Aug 12

Be honest? How bad was your first draft? My first draft was a mess of placeholders and run-on sentences.

Charlie Writes Horror @ghostinherpen.bsky.social · Aug 9

A noble goal.

Charlie Writes Horror @ghostinherpen.bsky.social · Aug 9

Anyone writing today?

What’s your goal?

Set out to write a witchy horror novel dripping with blood. Ended up writing about the horrors of troubled mom + daughter relationships.

#writing #horror #horrorbooks

Text over a bed reads “it cannot be compared to the gaping valleys carved into a heart whose only defect was wanting to be loved by her mother”

I may be open to swapping for an art commission. Do you have any samples of your work?
