#HorrorWritersChat I'm grappling with this right now in a work in process; about monstrosity.
Because I write about ghosts, body isn't the sole concern. In my fiction, the presence of ghosts is a reassurance and a help to the living. The real horror for me, always, is about loss of will & agency.

A rotund reactor, with a thousand blinking lights on its smooth carapace, and flanked by two, metal exhaust pipes on each side, supports an alabaster, humanoid figurine, cut into multiple geometric shapes with deep, black lines that make them look like shards of glass. Pearly white cables are draped over the figurine’s head like hair. Marble figures of exquisite detail surround the figurine. Blue butterflies dance in the foreground in rich, colourful blurs.

Q3: Consciousness is what makes us human, right? (RIGHT?) So I think the removal of that consciousness = full dehumanization.

I read Thomas Ha's novelette 'Uncertain Sons' today, which was fantastic - the darkest possible prose version of Jabberwocky. It is indeed a story about an alien consciousness first killing people and then making horrific use of the remnants of their bodies and minds. (1/2)

Hmm, not time travel as such. I once had the idea of nazi super soldiers that were experimented on during the war, who were walled up under the streets of London, presumed dead, until when a new tube line is built, releasing them from their vault.... Does that count? #horrorwriterschat
So #HorrorWritersChat we're on the past now, so lets talk time travel. It's usually more scifi than horror but how could you incorporate it into horror? I'm all ears.

The tube has been ripe for some time now... But I guess in the 1990s or early 2000s it was properly dank, dark and dirty. You would want to keep looking over your shoulder if you were there late at night, alone in a tunnel #HorrorWritersChat
I'm very much enjoying the historical doppelgangers. Well done #HorrorWriterChat bods.
So this question assumes that you have full knowledge of the era. You don't have to choose one you do write in, but you can. You absolutely can.

If I were immortal, I would definitely own a book shop that sold rare books... But mine would be so much more gothic.. I would just drink wine and smoke fags and tell everyone 'the shops closed!'
