By going through the TALES TO TERRIFY @talestoterrify.bsky.social archives, I’ve discovered my new favorite horror poet: Robert Payne Cabeen.
“Doctor Volmer” remains my personal fave.
“Clowns” was quite gruesome.
“Krampus Comes to Town” for the holiday scream season.
And the list continues…

Is it déjà vu?
Or are you stuck in a time loop?
...or does someone keep erasing your memories?
Tell us about it in 1,000 words or less.
