Time for another Writing the Occult: Time & Place session debrief, and this time it's our own Chief Ink Slinger and the event series host and curator, aka MEEE.
Rooting your writing in time and place isn’t just for the SF authors: all of us, no matter what genre, need to think about how these things impact our work and our characters. That said... boy, there is SO MUCH that writers of the weird can pull on as inspiration. 🧵⬇️

Every Friday, I meet a member of the British Fantasy Society and peer deep into their soul (or, at least, a form they filled out). Let's head to Northumberland for a weirdly cosmic cuppa with Steven Patchett, who names the writers of the "new renaissance of British folk horror" as his genre heroes.
