Read my Poems Published by Horrific Scribblings Pretty straightforward blog post today. I was fortunate enough for Horrific Scribblings an excellent literary magazine to accept and publish three of my poems recently in one of their issues. All three poems followed the same theme of horrific cultural folklore. The collection was titled: "Stones, Bridges, and Blades: Three Poems of Legend and Lore." You can read all three of them right here…

Lucky enough to get some of my poems published over at Horrific Scribblings. More details in the post below, plus the link. Very honored and most appreciated.

I'm working on a story which will probably finish at around 18,000 words - that's long for me, but horror covers a lot of ground, and sometimes it's hard to fit it all in! #horrorwriting #shortstories #fiction @killershorts.bsky.social

Three book covers at bottom: Numb, Fallen Destiny, Only Darkness
Found poem above based on these blurbs

The Forge

Destiny speaks with
ominous force.
The mother of mystery
voices a connection
with darkness, a calling
to surrender, threatens all
in the forge of violence
to consume the human.

If you're a fan of #HorrorWriting, perhaps I can interest you in one of my books! I focus on strong women, haunting situations, and the best animal companions this side of literature.

Why not give an indie author a chance?

Thank you, Eryn.

Cover of A Fragile Thing with blurb by Lee Murray beside it:
One of the most versatile and talented horror writers of our day, Stephanie Ellis shines again, this time with A Fragile Thing, a darkly chilling novel of madness, mind games, and manipulation. Channelling Jekyll and Hyde in Jack the Ripper’s Whitechapel, where science and spiritualism seduce the upper classes and the streets stink of nightwalkers and nightcrawlers, ambitious Isaac Bercow attempts to root out the shadowy manifestations that plague his own psyche. Blurring the lines between illusion and reality, one thing is clear, Ellis dangles our darkest fears before us with mesmerising skill.”—Lee Murray, five-time Bram Stoker Award®-winning author of
Grotesque: Monster Stories
