The last of our eligible works is a beautiful and startling scream into the void - and the void answers! Tiffany Morris's horror novella Green Fuse Burning invites the reader to sink into the swamp and a challenging process of transformation. This book is available on the SFWA forums!

1) VIY, Nikolai Gogol (1835)
"something in these features…appalled him; a terrible depression seized his heart, as when in the midst of dance and song someone begins to chant a dirge. He felt as though those ruby lips were coloured with his own heart's blood." #GothicAdvent

#WyrdWednesday In 'Ken's Mystery' (Julian Hawthorne, 1888), an American visiting Ireland meets a vampire who seems to bend the laws of time. The only evidence of his encounter is his new banjo, which suddenly looks ancient after their strange affair

Just finished Elizabeth Hand's "Haunting on the Hill," and really liked it. I get the "why do we need a Hill House sequel" complaints, but most haunted house stories since Hill House have been, in some way, derivative. If you ignore the name and pretend it's a stand-alone book, it works on its own. It has original, interesting characters, and Elizabeth Hand has a knack for small, creepy scenes that really stick with you.

Bought the whole Paperbacks from Hell line of paperback horror novel reprints by Valancourt Books today. It’s good stuff and worthy of support.
Been in a bit of a strange place recently mental health-wise, but the other morning I saw a review of Palus Somni that genuinely made me tear up.
"...the best horror story to be told so far in human history" is a bit OTT but damn, if I didn't need to hear that! Thank you! 😭

The Year's Best Dark Fantasy and Horror Volume 4 is an exceptional anthology that makes me want to search out and read the previous volumes because apparently, I have been missing out on something special. My review is posted at https://wellwortharead.blogspot.com/2023/11/the-years-best-dark-fantasy-horror.html #horrorbooks #horrorfam #bookreview @horrorbooks @bookstodon
I haven't posted in a bit, so I thought I'd pop in and say I'm still alive. What's everyone doing for Thanksgiving? There's just 3 of us so I'm not making a huge dinner.
This is some recent book mail 📫 on the darker side of the season.
The Fright Before Christmas: Surviving Krampus and Other Yuletide Monsters, Witches, and Ghosts by Jeff Belanger and illustrated by Terry Reed I love Christmas horror. #horrorbooks @horrorbooks #horrorfam
Angry spirits, swarms of bugs, strange lights that lead people astray, Bigfoot, and more are featured in these 22 new tales of Dread. Most take place in wild and dangerous outdoor settings because like they say, write what you know, and the author certainly has lots of experience with such places.

I've only read two of these but The Girl From the Well is fantastic. It's told from the point of view of a murdered Japanese girl, a la Sadako from Ringu, & manages to be very creepy while also strangely heartwarming.

Look, I really get that Ramsey Campbell is trying to not very subtly hint towards a whole switchy-gender-supernatural-shapeshifting-entity thing... but really, could he not have come up with something better than changing the name of the pub from The Green Man to The Green FEMALE?

Read Dead on Arrival by Matt Richtel, and am upset about it. It's one of those dusty books from my TBR pile, in the horror genre. Genre that keeps proving to be the hardest one to write good.

Feeding the #horrorbooks hunger with 'Hide' by Kiersten White. Just started but hopefully plenty of whats-about-to-happen dread.

Lining up my #spooky season #books #reading. As always Roger Zelazny’s “A Night in the Lonesome October”. Also “Coraline” by Neil Gaiman for the book club I’m in (many folks there are excited to read or reread it). Also a real time reread of “A Discovery of Witches” by Deborah Harkness.

Ok #horrorfam, Apex Magazine is doing a subscription drive, the number of subs they get will determine the future of the magazine.
Apex is one of the best we have, and deserve our support.
and to prove that, they also have a great list of other mags that ALSO should be subscribed to.
Short fiction needs our support, so if you can, now is the time.

One more for this Spooky Reads September. This one is a reread, because it's worth a second time... I mean just the unsettling atmosphere & the constant self-guessing makes it a great Gothic horror story.
“You’re very silly or very brave, living in a haunted house.”

I only have one library loan left, an audiobook of T. Kingfisher’s “Nettle & Bone” I’ve been listening to while doing some chores.
To me that’s a sign of a long weekend well spent. There’s nothing like revisiting a great story on a rainy day.

2:10am now and enjoying another book. This time with haunted houses stories from Shirley Jackson's "The Curse of Hill House". Published in early 1960's, but still a valuable book today!
#ShirleyJackson #Horror #HorrorBooks #ValdemarGotica #HillHouse #1960s
Rather heavier #horror than I usually enjoy, and really, really creepy. Also loved the #sapphic relationship in the book, and the main character being full of sharp edges
Triggers: Insects, parasites, toxic family relationship, racism/colonialism, food-related yuckiness

I was good, I only ordered three.
The Cabin at the End of the World – to read before the movie comes out.
The Drift – Love C.J. Tudors previous work and this one is _brand new_.
A Sliver of Darkness – A collection of short stores from C. J. Tudor (again) for when I've got time to read, but not enough time to really invest in reading a 'big book'.
Wrote a long-read about why I wrote this book, why not normal publishing (kinda how it went) and other stuff about series

Hi everyone!
I'm still figuring this out but I wanted to give a quick #introduction to everyone!
My name's Curt & I'm a film school graduate who's shifting focus into prose fiction. I'm a husband, cat dad & hot mess of anxiety, so please bear with me!
Pretty much everything I write or film is profoundly messed up & probably crosses a line. I'm a big fan of New French Extremity, goofy camp, video games & pro wrestling.
I'm excited to be part of the community! #Horror #HorrorBooks
Things I do when left alone.

I did an #introduction yesterday, but wanted to follow up with a part 2 this morning.
I have come to really love #Horror as an adult. This is mostly thanks to my son who is an aficionado of all things creepy and spooky. One of our favorite activities is making #Halloween #Costumes together. The last two years he has been an #Alien Xenomorph and a #StrangerThings Demogorgon.
If you make #HorrorFilms or write #HorrorBooks I would love to follow you!
Let me introduce myself via hashtag interests—
