“I clamor, cling to anything mentally to keep head above fusion. I recite nursery rhymes, laugh dryly at the countdown, the reversal of learning until I am blank slate.

I distract myself from body betrayal, mind turning mush.

I fuse back into the womb in which I was invented. #HorrorWritersChat

In the spirit of this #HorrorWritersChat, I'm going to share What Saints Fear, because Unholy of Holies is a horror/fantasy story about an industrial-scale relic factory farm (CW for torture).

#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.

Blades inching closer, pierce my head
Bring the promise of eternal death,
Shatter and carve the skull-bound brain
Defile the mind, feed only pain
Neural pathways fuse as one.
I lose myself and I am done
Nothing left but an empty shell
The proof that here, we have made our Hell.

I would either adapt stories I heard from Merythyr Tydfil when it was Iron Capital of the World

Or do a fucked up story about someone forced at gunpoint to be a human bot, writing bad faith grifting shit on ANYTHING, especially stuff that don't matter just to rile people up 😟

Hi I'm HD Beird, sexy and weird

This week HD stands for Hate Demagogue's

I write horror mixed with sci-fi, mystery, action and a bit of smut

The horror of the industrial revolution sticks with me, as it was men being fed into a meat grinder

But AI shit today scares me

Thanks Eryn,

Right now I'm writing a noir detective horror set in a sci-fi fantasy setting

My last book was the comedy 'KILLER KAGAMI'

But if you want struggling men who are too big for their britches, you can't go wrong with any of my books
