Okay, #horrorwriterschat to replenish my creative well, I have a few things going on at any given point. If drafting is tough, I'll edit another piece or outline the next one.

As an introverted creative, marketing and the journey to publication is often painful. I try to help others get opportunities as often as I can and hope others do the same.

In a horror novel I've written but hasn't seen the light of day yet, Mercy Brown (I'M most famous vampire) is a prominent character living in modern day Connecticut.

Hi everyone. I'm John Opalenik. My horror writing has been described as the intersection between folk horror and cosmic horror.

my favorite vampire is David from The Lost Boys.

Doing a Twin Peaks rewatch to celebrate the life of David Lynch. As a teacher, I can tell you that this part is so accurate to life. #ripdavidlynch #twinpeaks #teacher

We're in the middle of reorganizing the home library, but here's the horror section and a little bit of the graphic novel section.
