My gothic horror novel pitch: Gemma comes to Norfolk after the death of her friend, paranormal romance author, Ellie. She discovers three Gothic unpublished horror novellas on Ellie’s laptop, reads them, and is caught in a web of darkness which threatens her sanity and her life.

Yes indeed.

Not very far into it yet but so far have human sacrifice to the goddess-ruler of the world, the massacre of dissidents, and strict rules of female beauty.

I can identify with that too.

#horrorwriterschat in response to Q3.

1. Exploring female power and motherhood.
2. Obsession
3. Death and what lies on and over the border between life and death.
4. Curses, vengeance and ‘justice’.
5. What does it mean to be human? And does ‘evil’ mean anything anymore?

#horrorwriterschat Hello. Introducing myself I’m Lesley from the UK. I mostly write horror and dark fantasy fiction. Currently got my gothic horror novel, Crossings, out on submission to agents, seeking rep. My WIP isn’t horror exactly but a feminist dystopia with body horror elements.

Writing a ‘guide to female beauty’ for my latest writing project, a feminist dystopia, and it’s sad to note that things haven’t changed all that much over the centuries. Sigh.

We do!

Hi Tim! Good to see you on here. Hope all is well.

Hi all. I’ve defected from X where I was previously known as @ceris57
