Can anyone recommend a Romance-themed or Romance-friendly bookstore in Alabama, preferably toward the north? Looking to do a driving tour of the South to celebrate Books & Bewitchment this February. 🐿️

Scaring the reader isn't my main objective. I’d prefer to think of my writing as a warning. A warning to working people of the various ways the rich try to devour them. So, I guess I make the poor scared of the rich in a way that scares the rich? Maybe?

#HorrorWritersChat Q3.

Who do you scare? As a writer, it's our chance to bite back, perhaps.

Q3
Do you write horror that scares the poor, the wealthy or everyone equally?

Doctor Who – The Tomb of the Cybermen
Thrillingly atmospheric
Visually and musically striking
This chiller deploys Mummy-movie Tombs to delve into the horror of Cyber-conversion.
“You belong to us. You shall be like us.”
Brr.

The Cyber-Controller, blank metal face and domed head covered in frost

Steel gravestone: a bas-relief stylised Cyberman seals the Tombs

Cybermen stride from their upright tombs – steel-embalmed cyborg revenants with distinctive projecting handles to the sides of their heads

A Cyberman bursts through the seal of its tomb, arms outstretched

If the foundation of your endeavor, no matter what it may be, is AI? I hope that shit collapses in ways that make Eldritch horrors gasp in shock.

Take time. Put in work to hone your work. Make something you’re proud of instead of slop you cobbled together through theft and pollution. Fuck.

If you are planning on attending a rally this Saturday, DO NOT bring a phone that is connected to anything.

It’s been confirmed that the SS is tracing people’s phones and targeting people that show up to protests.

Either take a service not connected to the internet or use a Faraday bag.
