Day 10 of the #31dayhorrorchallenge - Masters of Horror. Yes, the effects are incredibly dated, although the energy devil is still great, but this is a complex and intelligent film. The dialogue is realistic and simple and the sound of the mental telekinesis is spine-tingling.

What a beautiful evening! Just took a perfect little break from several hours of work on my non-fiction book to step into the garden. Nothing beats standing out in the moonshine with a steaming bowl of homemade chickpea curry and just soaking up the quiet of nature. #WritingLife #AuthorLife

Day 9 of #31dayhorrorchallenge- David Lynch. I love this odd film with its emphasis on emotion. Although, the soundtrack was fine, the dialogue is a little corny, and the humour doesn't quite work. Apparently, some scenes were shot on a Fisher-Price video camera, so the picture quality varies.

That is an incredibly powerful and practical way to view your work. This mindset fits perfectly with your view on durability.

Day 8 of #31dayhorrorchallenge- Don't answer the phone. This had an interesting premise full of suspense, shocks, and eerie scenes. That cutesy ringtone becomes creepy quickly. The film has some great acting, the cinematography is beautiful but the ending was too twisty for my liking. #HorrorMovies

That is the ultimate long-term perspective! When you focus on the physical durability of a book, you are looking at its life for hundreds of years. It sounds like you are building a legacy that is both physical and legal, a wise approach for a serious author. The long picture, indeed.

That is absolutely wonderful news and a fantastic accomplishment.

That's fantastic. It is clear that for you, durability is as much an element of the art as the plot or prose.

That is a wonderful goal! While the story itself is the primary source of staying power, you can extend its physical existence by focusing on archival-quality production materials and techniques.

Day 7 of #31dayhorrorchallenge- High Society Horror. The set, costumes and cinematography are incredible. Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter do a good job both acting and singing. But there is something that keeps me truly connecting with the film. #HorrorMovies

That's the best kind of cardio. Remember, lugging around that vacuum, scrubbing stubborn spots and climbing stairs all count as real effort.

Beverley's Horror Corner @stormywriter.bsky.social · 3d

That is a great observation. Although it is fiction have you read The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch?

Nothing wrong with a little self-promotion.

That is a really good price, unfortunately, life changes mean I can't afford to suplge this time.

I always debate about getting those Giallo collections, even when they are on sale.

Book 34 - #NewFears edited by Mark Morris. A really mixed bag of stories that are not connected by theme, but Stephen Gallagher's Shepherds Business is head and shoulders above the rest with such an unexpected twist ending. #HorrorBooks

My problem is that when I have spare time I want to write, not faffing about on a website, which I find completely frustrating. It is that dichotomy of wanting to write but needing to promote.

Beverley's Horror Corner @stormywriter.bsky.social · 6d

I do have a website but I am terrible at maintaining it.

I haven't since 5 or 6 and I know that seeing those might change my mind, but as it stands I am not a fan of 4.

Day 6 of #31dayhorrorchallenge - Sequels I haven't seen. It is not a good sequel, the acting is mediocre and the dialogue is horrendous. #HorrorMovies #MichaelMyers

I want that ghost in the background.
