The news we were all dreading. I really hoped he would make it to Christmas but that was clearly not to be.
We will keep up #HorrorWritersChat while we all have breath in our bodies.
Rest well Matt, you wonderful human.

I'm very sad to share the news that our lovely @chaoticauthor.online has passed away. His ending was peaceful and surrounded with love but came far too quickly after a short battle with pancreatic cancer.
I've known Matt for years. He was a warm, gentle, generous, all-weather friend. I miss him.

To dehumanise is to lose sense of humanity. Humanity is not in your skin, or your fingernails. It's choosing to be human. So either loss of will, or an alien that takes over. But hey they might do things better. Or so they think, anyway.
Can you imagine being trapped there?

Also, that they may not only live life never being loved, but had an opportunity to be loved unconditionally, and either ignored it or shunned it for something they felt entitled to

What scares my men across the board is a loss of control—of themselves, of others, or of the whole world.
I always go back to the Joker, tho you have to take what he says with a grain of salt: they hate when things aren't 'according to the plan,' even if the plan is horrifying.

I think my characters' fears aren't especially different from mine or from some of the fears that my women characters have. They are worried about ending up alone, about losing what makes them who they are and about being misunderstood. Identity and relationships are important.

It's not unanimous or anything, but many of my male characters fear breaking a (genuinely made) promise, unintentionally made (or broken) or not.
Doing so would show that they don't know themself as well as they think they do; it all ties back to perception of the self.

If any of the guys in my work had any uniquely male fear, it'd probably be loss of authority. As that's usually second behind being killed (or worse), it may not count for much.

It depends on the character. For Andy in LWF, his greatest fear is his sister Alice getting hurt as a consequence of his actions. Again. For Mr. Miller, one of the antagonists, his biggest fear is loss of control.

Fear of embarrassment. They are either anxiety-ridden or full of themselves.
They tend to want to appear in control of the situation, even if they’re completely overwhelmed, which leads to their downfall. #HorrorWritersChat

Oh boy. Well I’ve written around 30 short stories so we’ve covered a lot of ground. I think the most tragic result of fear was for a young boy who desperately wanted to impress his brothers in King of Cape Cod, but I don’t think that’s a male trait just a sibling thing.

What scares my male characters the most is loss. Regardless of their alignment, fear of loss directs their actions:
+ Loss of face amongst male peers/the powerful means one holds on to power at any cost.
+ Fear of losing loved ones means another will go feral to protect them.

Often, the men I write fear losing control. They are usually people who want power and control, and once things get a little shaky or outright becomes an avalanche, they quickly crumble to show their real selves, which is often uglier and sadder than the mask.

I think it really depends. I'd like to think most of my characters are fairly normal and all have their own relationships masculinity. Gender roles are an important aspect of eugenic ideology and a lot of religious fundamentalism though, sometimes in the most nefarious form.
