The House with Good Bones Audiobook by @tkingfisher.com feels like what I would imagine it would be like if @thebloggess.bsky.social were to narrate a horror novel. The accent, the unflinching wit, the slow descent into societal horror. It's all there. #horrorbooks #horrorwriters

Anyone else feel like when they go through periods where you don't have time to read, write, or create you just don't feel like yourself anymore? I'm coming out of a slump where I have been bogged down with other things & now I'm starting to feel like me again. #writerstruggles #writingcommunity

Do you ever write a horror scene that creeps you out while writing it… then read it the next day and think, “this isn’t scary at all”? How do you judge if your horror is actually working? Let’s talk fear levels 👻 #horrorwriters #writingcommunity #amwritinghorror #booksky
