Meanwhile I've finished modelling a monster for my new short film, though it's proving really tough to create a frightening creature out of a flower. It just looks cute, but I do want to make a horror film. Whew. Tough roads we have to travel as artists!
We've just released our horror roguelite!
Harvest Hunt is out on Steam after a couple of years of dev. We're a core 3 person team (I'm the Lead artist). It's a horror roguelite loaded with ambience and a lot of european and Portuguese inspired folklore and other stuff there 🙂
Have a look, wishlist! Hell, buy it if you're so inclined! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2009620/Harvest_Hunt/ #indiedev#unrealengine#horror#gamedev
My #bookreview is brief/won't spoil, to spread good, great, & spectacular #horror#books far & wide.
💙📚 THE ONLY WAY OUT IS THROUGH by Paul Michael Anderson is a compelling collection w familiar tropes that go to dark & unexpected places. Full of cosmic horror goodness, with dashes of folk & creature horror for extra flavor, this novella & 4 short stories will keep you entertained & satiated. (Cemetery Gates)
Just arrived today, Independent Bookshop Edition of You Like it Darker, from the marvelous Stephen King, Maine's master of the macabre (hey, it's Friday, we feel like splashing out on some alliteration!)
Dance with me until the moon hides its face,
And the sun attempts to quicken the pace.
From the sunlight, the vampire turns his face,
And dancers twirl to the light’s frenzied pace.
2024 has been a busy year, with the "completion" of The Nod/Wells Timelines, the release of my first two audiobooks, and the announcement of "8" and its associated "story singles" but there's even more to come! Give me a follow so you don't miss anything!
Writing a horror novella with a romance subplot made me realize... I haven't read any modern romance novels! Need to expand my horizon so I am super open to recommendations!
Alright it is twenty minutes until #MONSTERDON, which means if you don't want to see a bunch of nerds watching a monster movie you should set up a filter!

💙📚 HOT DEMON BITCHES NEAR YOU from J.E. Erickson is an exuberant blast of gore & grue. The Horrors are heavy here, but balanced with deliciously devilish delights & a LOT of heart. (Lots of OTHER body parts, too.) You'll be disturbed, delighted, horrified- but also cackling. HELL, yeah! (Self-published)
Author copies arrived of this bulky anthology of African ghost stories. Now I can say that my story was published in the same book as the legend, Amos Tutuola!
INTERTWINED NARRATIVES OF MOTHERHOOD and madness weave a subtly unsettling spell in this little gem of a novel of psychological horror and suspense. B PLUS
@bookstodon My #review of Indian Burial Ground by Nick Medina is now live! This would be even creepier and more tense if the narrative had been arranged differently, but otherwise it's pretty awesome.
Dread is the only Books of Blood story where I have to gird my loins before I do a re-read (jokes about "dreading" it could be made 😝). I find it genuinely disturbing in a way that I don't his other works.

WHEN THE DEVIL is a novelette from Emma E. Murray that packs many horrors inside of its compelling, feverish intensity. Libby's world is dark and cruel, and any peace, joy, or deliverance comes with a price. Devils abound, but sometimes the fruit they offer makes the damnation worth it. (Shortwave Publishing)

I started watching this one last night but dozed off halfway through. Not because I was bored but because I'm at that age where I shouldn't start a movie past 9pm. I'll finish it tonight. It gave off "Talk To Me" vibes with bad things that happen when people contact the dead. #baghead#shudder#horror@horror
