Hello #HorrorWritersChat, my name is Rami Ungar, I write horror and dark fantasy, I'm from Ohio in the deep, dark out that the USA is slowly becoming. And I'm coming in the form of a guy wearing a Cthulhu onesie. Which I will wear tonight when I'm chilling after work.

I find a spirit created through the corruption of memory usually provides the best haunts. As stated earlier, a shade of another reality leaking through to ours, lost and damned to claw in desperation to return to life. Soon, their madness becomes malevolent.

Listen to the Symposium’s finest vocalist, as their tenor bends the living into unnatural angles and swivels them into the air! Tell us, what ghosts do you prefer? Of the folkloric tradition, or those invented by authors? And why?
#HorrorWritersChat

Question Three

Art by Jelle Husson, featuring a haunted monastery of many sharp-tipped towers scraping at the midnight sky. The largest is in the centre of the structure’s roof, whose walls are painted white. The monastery is located above a hilly terrain of dark stone and dark green moss. A stony, twisting road leads to the monastery.

It is always a delight to see our violinists perform! How the living bend their splintering bones as they float above us all! Tell us, our ghostly compatriots – which of us are better? Of the folkloric kind? Or invented by our shadowy creators?

No links, covers, or self-promo! Leave that for the end! Quote the post & include the hashtag!

Had another wonderful review for Reflections of Lilje Damselfly 💙

Threads post screenshot, @majaspang
Just finished this lovely story by @nataliekelda 🩵
If you need to read something cozy and romantic, but also melancholic, go grab this book. It's about a chronically ill water nymph that falls in love with a human woman and must face a tough decision about her own life.
Especially recommend if you struggle with a chronic illness and would like to see it reflected in a fantasy(ish) setting.

Based on a Book Podcast @basedonabook.bsky.social · 18h

💙📚 Many of the books we've discussed on our podcast aren't exactly kid friendly. That said, we firmly believe that books are a tool to help open discussions with not only kids but anyone trying to process big concepts & feelings.

Check out our episodes covering these removed/restricted* YA titles.

Image of YA Banned Books we’ve covered on our podcast.

Uglies
Beastly
Percy Jackson series
His Dark Materials
Hunger Games
The Martian

Common sense, age appropriate restrictions (no Fifty Shades of Anything in elementary school libraries, duh!) make sense. But censorship over beliefs or "politicized" content simply isn't our jam. We'll read what we want and we encourage you to do the same.

#booksky #bookqw word: STRONG.

Fairy-smith John meets Toby, a boy considered by his neighbours to be 'touched' because of a fey encounter.

In other news, I come from a neurodiverse family.

Buy here: tinyurl.com/nvvetupj

John drew forward again. He was listening hard now, trying to feel the air. There was something around Toby, a – what was it? A fluster, a tumbling disorder. The boy was fast and strong, there was no question about it, but it was as if the normal pull of the earth didn’t operate on him. Something was blowing him about, gusting him this way and that faster than a common man could follow.
