Writing Aromantic Frankenstein, Deconstruction, and Reconstruction.

So it turns out, yearning is real, and humans have been trying for centuries to capture it. I’ve been writing Aromantic Frankenstein for my Master of Arts in Writing thesis. It began as a sho…

Would definitely like to second recommending people check out some MG Mason;
Recently he has published a couple of great old school ghostly shorts that are truly beautiful and unnerving to read.

But he also has an ongoing series (Salmonweird) about a murder mystery in a town of ghosts.

A collage of 6 classic Mason ghosts;
Salmonweird
Studio Salmonweird
Shadows of Cathedral Lane
The Small Bronze Carriage on the Mantlepiece
The Residents of James Hotel
Angel's Mass

The book cover Maryneal 1962. The protagonist is covered in blood and running towards the reader. There are cars facing the title that is displayed at a drive-in movie theater. The quote on the front says a harrowing and gorgeously rendered exploration of grief from USA Today best selling author Emily Jane.

My collection, out on Halloween, the day the veil is thinnest! Just one quote from a reviewer: "It’s like cracking open a book and landing in a drive in theater on 80s horror night!"

Meet me at the drive-in. Be there or be devoured by the ghosts of Samhain. 🎃

Thank you. Some exquisitely worded creepy prompts.

Since we have been talking of phantoms, I happen to have a ghost story out soon.

It is called Hollowed By Thy Name, and will hopefully be released in a Halloween zine on classic British horror from @generalwitch.bsky.social

Thanks for another awesome chat everyone! Also, Little White Flowers is now out in hardcover, and it is beautiful! Forgot to grab a picture before chat started (and I cannot get up from my blanket cocoon), but the case laminate under the dust jacket has the full art cover image.

Be welcomed to the ethereal music hall! A stringed aperitif is in order… do tell the Symposium what do you write, from where… and what IS, indeed, your wraithful visage for tonight?
#HorrorWritersChat

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.

Question One

Come in, come in! The Phantasmal Symposium has just begun! Settle in the ruined music hall, and tell us – what do you write, from where, and in what ghostly visage have you arrived at our askewed doorstep?

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

>Steps from the mist, boots caked in Ozark mud.< I write horror that seeps up from the soil and monsters that look too much like family.
I hail from the haunted hills of southwest Missouri, and tonight my wraithful visage is a preacher’s ghost still clutching his sermon.

I'm a PNW-based writer of occult horror—supernatural, folk, cosmic—which is often (though not always) politically-charged.

I arrive today in the visage of a Biblically-accurate angel who is *super mad* at the way religious belief has been twisted to serve evil ends.
