Still alive. Just busy and impending daughter been cooking for 36 weeks now.

@sainteuphoria.bsky.social Watching House of Ghosts for the second time, I have to ask: Harlan seemed to come to terms with his own death right before it happened. But, if he accepted it, bow was he scared to death?

#HorrorWritersChat Question 4: I usually turn to Discord, Reddit, or other mass communication.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 3: Lots of distressed internal monologues. The character is alone with their own thoughts!

#HorrorWritersChat Question 2: Probably physical isolation, but in a location built by humans. It can be scary to be alone in the woods, but it makes sense. But,a Castle or a Mall are supposed to have people in them.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 1: Penname Victor K Sanders. I write based on old horror movies.

And definitely It Follows, a movie about how lonely you can be surrounded by people.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 4: I pull it free with my teeth and proceed.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 3: To some extent it's a necessary component of horror. If escape is an option, why be afraid?

#HorrorWritersChat Question 2: If the prison is purely a physical space, that isn't horror, that's a prison break story.

Yeah, I'm still editing a short story about that very idea.

#HorrorWritersChat Penname Victor K. Sanders. Most of my work is inspired by old horror movies.

And I like stories where people are their own wardens, to one extent or another, because they're afraid of freedom.

I've finally finished editing the second draft of my seventh chapter. *faints*

A sci-fi story I posted on Reddit has a reading up on YouTube! Go check it out!

#HorrorWritersChat Question 4: The personification of cancer stood in Noll's home.

"Not now, I'm busy."

#HorrorWritersChat Question 3: Sallow skin, bloodshot eyes, and only half a nose. He has normal mobility, but most people are reluctant to interact with him.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 2: Big, elaborate spaces for characters who just want a small, isolated corner.

#HorrorWritersChat Pen Name Victor K Sanders. And definitely You're Next. It did so much to play with slasher conventions!

#HorrorWritersChat Question 4: "Took them long enough," I answered.

Does she have an alternative?

#HorrorWritersChat Question: When they embrace their dark side they don't change, they realize who they were all along.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 2: All my characters have one of three dark flaws: seeking power because they think they know what's best, refusing power because they don't trust themselves, or seeking power because they don't care what's best.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 1: Penname Victor K. Sanders. I write horror based on old movies. And, honestly, I think most people's dark side comes down to a desire for power, it just takes many forms.

It is time to end the billionaire class. They created this. They rob us daily. They own our lives and livelihoods through technology. They own the politicians, and they stoke this violence to distract us from ever realizing that we outnumber them 300,000 to one.

Very nice!

#HorrorWritersChat Question 4: Noll, Anya, and Maria looked at each other. Could they really afford to fail National Hugging Day again?...then they remembered none of them were U.S. citizens and moved on.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 3: None of my protagonists would be caught dead in sweatpants.

This is why Doggie Heaven is also Squirrel Hell!

Q2: Definitely International Squirrel Day. Those little stinkers are plotting things for sure. Could also combine it with Granola Bar Day—squirrels getting bloody over the Nature's Valley. Raiding Costco en masse, tearing out throats, shredding faces...
