Had a cool moment at a book club last night. TWO people told me they loved SOFT TARGETS and PORTRAITS OF DECAY, respectively.

Writing is so, so hard—but having those real life interactions makes it all worth it.

Early start as my wife is away on a craft group trip.
Had a great idea for the @deadlanguagespod.bsky.social drabble competition, for the theme "Space Halloween".

Alt: Christopher Walken flying through space which is flashing black and white in an upsetting manner.

Alt: Jesus looking up to heaven with awe on his face. I just love this image, even though i'm not religious in the least. There's a sense of majesty in it.

I’ll cut to the chase: just like all your favorite authors, I’m offering editing and writing coach services. So yeah, pitch incoming!

But first I wanted to talk a bit about my writing journey and WHY these services can help. (THREAD)

I went on the Dead Languages Podcast and all I got was this creeping sense of unease as the world disintegrates around me! Listen to me chat with PLM and Carson about disorientation in horror, fun ways to collapse reality, and NYC's plague of sexy, sexy rats

Look, none of us want to order from the 'Zon. That's why I made the ebook of my weird horror collection PORTRAITS OF DECAY available on my website. It's $9.99 and just about every cent goes to the author. If you're into that sort of thing, grab it here: carsonwinter.com/product/port...

Under your mask, there is only decay. In Carson Winter’s debut collection of social horror, characters reveal their darkest selves in the face of the insane and inexplicable. A couple finds themselve...

Episode 121: WTF is Psychological Horror?

Dead Languages Podcast @deadlanguagespod.bsky.social · Aug 4

Please pray to your local Godzilla.

Carson Winter @carsonwinter.bsky.social · Aug 4

I’m not very spiritual, but when life gets tough, sometimes you gotta embrace giving yourself over to a higher power.

When I’m job searching I like to build a Godzilla shrine and offer him sacrifices (buildings!) to do something with all the nervous energy while waiting.

Praise to the King.
