The Lost Tales stories continues with "Medusa" (1928) by Royal W. Jimserson - a story some contend may have inspired Lovecraft.

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.

This week's lost tale is "Hell in the Village" (1942) by Hugh Raymond - a rare appearance of von Junzt outside of the writings of Robert E. Howard and Lovecraft.

Reworked the landing page text on my horror fiction site a bit. I still need to pretty up the header, but I think I'm moving in the right direction.

#Lovecraft before Lovecraft!

If you are still craving a story consider the most popular video I've ever made.

It features Squids & mutants tearing apart the minds of sailors with madness (also their bodies with claws).

It was done in October, before I came here: https://youtu.be/HAIbZFdym1A

I'm a #leftist though still figuring out exactly what type

#bookishadvent day 18, #smallpress edition is “Seventeen Names for Skin” by Roland Blackburn! This short horror novel darkly satirizes the stereotypical illness narrative with a strong dose of body horror to match!
