Collaborative Horror Story Creation with Stephen Schwartz

It's Halloween in July at the Horror Writer's Association and I got up to some tricks and shenanigans with my fellows, weaving a tale of gothic horror in real time.

Includes a short reading of the opening paragraphs of Freak Like Me, the sequel to the Spiral.

Hey, hey, hey! The Outcast Mage by my excellent friend @annabelcwrites.bsky.social is only 0.99p on Kindle right now!

This was her debut, and it's really pretty great πŸ™Œ

Me too. More surveys would be completed if they added a little more fun to the mix.

The statue called to me..."Dance." It whispered. And dance I did...though contorting my leg at that angle proved to be problematic and disturbing to all those in proximity.

Yeah, that is completely valid.

I find creepy crawlies beneath the skin to be most horrifying. Like Oogie Boogie and his unraveling. But I cannot deny his sick dance moves.

Clown balloons: creepy or harmless?

In The Spiral, Amy wakes to one that’s nightmare fuel of the purest intent. 😱

Which horror trope scares you mostβ€”clowns, dolls, the slow, inevitable march of time, or something else?

It would make an excellent setting for a horror story. It almost writes itself...if only it had hands....

People don't know the horrors I've seen... But here's an approximation...

It's rock solid and filled with heartfelt twists and profound healing messages. Plus it's fun and cozy with just a hint o' the spice. May she receive it well and with a good cup of tea. πŸ’–

Looks like you've caught a case of the American Sickcare System. It's fatal if you don't take your health into your own hands.

Cortisone only gives temporary relief anyway, find another way. There's always another way... so I've heard. Maybe this NAD + stuff Nikki's always prattling on about?
