So this month I’m hoping to get some roundtable discussions going between women horror writers, but in the meantime, I’d like to revisit some of my thoughts from last year. My process on this is multi-faceted and somewhat self-serving: 1. I’m lazy. Well, not really, but I’ve also got a huge book to finish editing, … More WiHM: Writing Horror Like a Girl
It is one of the most beautiful months of the year… I mean yeah, there’s all that love and stuff that’s part of February, but let’s focus on what this month is really about: women participating and being recognized as an important part of the horror genre. I’m going to repost some of the things … More Available now: The Grotesquerie
Since not all holidays are cozy, and the season can be an effective backdrop for horror stories, today’s excerpt is from my short zombie story Candles, which appears in Lost in the Shadows. Granted, this is very dark in comparison to my other Christmas excerpts, but I’m proud of this piece overall, and was glad … More Holiday Horror Excerpt: Candles
I realize I’ve been pretty quiet lately, but that’s only because there’s a lot going on…a lot of cool stuff, that is. Since one of those projects goes live tomorrow (Wed, Nov 27), I figured that it would be the smart thing to announce that one first. I’m going to be part of a host … More The Star Chamber Show debuts Wed Nov 27 at 9pm EST!
Since we’re coming up on Halloween and I’m a firm believer in Trick or Treating (really, it’s criminal adults can’t get in on that activity…), guess what I’m taking part in? I am blogging at LASR, and if you leave a comment on that guest post, you can be in the running for a … More Guest Blogging and Giving Stuff Away at LASR!

Today, I’m stoked to have Crymsyn Hart with me here at my blog, talking about her ties to the horror genre! Horror(ific) To write horror? Or to write paranormal romance? Maybe I should do a little bit of both? These days it’s a little hard to decide what I am going to create. In the … More Horror Guest Post: Crymsyn Hart
I’m so incredibly excited to have L. Andrew Cooper here on my blog again. We did a horror panel together at Fandom Fest this summer, and while it was smaller than I would have liked, we got a chance to really talk about horror: old vs. new, patterns, gender differences…pretty much everything. It was then … More Horror Interview: Descending Lines by L. Andrew Cooper
I’ve been thinking a lot about one of my favorite kinds of stories this month…it’s a somewhat underrated story form since it’s short, ingrained in the fears of society, and usually dismissed as rubbish. It’s also disturbing in that “is it or is it not real” kind of way, plus, it’s a short narrative, which … More Urban Legends
I’ve been busy lately, I know, but I wanted to squeeze in at least a couple posts here and there on some Halloween-ish type stuff this year. After all, tis the season… Last year I talked a lot about different creatures and archetypes…this year I’m focused on different types of horror. At the moment, I’ve … More Spooky influences
