Joined Novel November for this year with an idea that’s been floating around in my brain for a few years now and I’m excited to finally put the world onto paper.

And I do refer to my wips as Casefiles because I like how it sounds

VK Delano @vkdelano.bsky.social · 27d

I’ve been working on a side project for personal research and now I want to incorporate handwritten, poorly scanned notes and things into Casefile: RT. I think it would add to the whole “found footage” style I’m trying to go for

The rapture is coming they say and suddenly I’m a child again.
Cold and alone, despite the sun streaming through the windows and the voices singing the praises of a loving and caring god.
The same god that condemned me to a path of pain and hopelessness.
How many times must I survive this?

Finally got my hands on a copy of Thirteen Storeys. I’m both excited and terrified.

“So God told me that my pastor’s wife is gonna die on this day and the pastor and I are gonna live happily ever after” I’m gonna hold your hand when I say this: WAS THAT GOD OR WAS THAT A MURDER CONFESSION FROM YOUR PASTOR

I might be a weird one for this but I read physical copies at home and ebooks on the go. Books just get so beat up in my bag 😭😭😭

Got some new horror books to ring in the spooky season! In other news, I’m incapable of spending less than 50$ at a bookstore at any given time.

-with no proper reference given. I am so disappointed.

VK Delano @vkdelano.bsky.social · Aug 24

I hate it when authors of true crime (or anything historical really) can’t put information in their own words. Just straight ripping from other sources without proper credit. I am not even two chapters into this book and I have seen so many lines that are ripped straight from other books or sources-

A secret fourth thing: all of the above lol. In all seriousness, a lot of my favorites are from that era.

I think the way that people draw on certain events from history really shows you how they actually see the victims of those events. Yes I’m still angry about how a certain author and director each portrayed the Jonestown Massacre or their “adaptation” of it.

VK Delano @vkdelano.bsky.social · Aug 23

I am genuinely convinced that the secret to every horror novel from the 70s-80s was copious amounts of cocaine and sex.

Our members at nonfiction production company Garden Slate Productions ratified their first collective bargaining agreement! The contract includes groundbreaking rehire protection language that addresses the issue of frequent short-term employment contracts 💪

An illustration of a young girl in silhouette with a ponytail, standing against a fiery orange and red background. Over her figure is a handwritten quote in white text that reads: “The wicked become even worse when they are tolerated.” – Tolstoy. The intense backdrop and the child's silhouette create a haunting, powerful visual emphasizing the quote's message about the dangers of complacency toward evil.

Now more than ever, we need to hear your voices. Through novels, poetry, sketches, paintings, photography, through any and all art. We are living through a waking nightmare and our creativity and community are needed more than ever. Tell your story in any way it’s needed. You’re needed.

Having to do research on plane crashes while having a crippling fear of flight is…certainly something.

the novel I’m writing in my head in the shower will be great if I ever remember it well enough to type any

I tend to focus on #queerhorror with a dash of religious trauma and cosmic horror, at least those are the two that are currently taking up my brain space. Queer horror is a staple across all my work even back when I wrote fanfic and it seems to be a mainstay at least for now.

Hi! My name is VK Delano, an author with far too many WIPs and not enough time. I am currently unpublished but I have several outlines and am currently working on the first draft of the book that has plagued my dreams since I was a teenager. I can’t wait for you to join this adventure with me!
