Strange as Folk 2026 Online Folk Horror Workshop Day

There's nothing as strange as folk - though the world of folk horror can certainly come close, and we'll be finding out with this online event on the 9th May! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/strange-as... #horror #folkhorror #horrorwriting #horrorwriters #horrorfiction #horrorbooks

Clown in a Cornfield 2 by Adam Cesare Book Review

My review of the second Clown in a Cornfield novel. Lots of relevant political commentary in this one, even more than the original.

The Graveyard Shift Content warning: body horror, worms, gore, undeath, mild swearing (okay, a lot of swearing), and one extremely disappointing necromancer.

#authors&writing #horrorwriting I loved this story and had to share! So ghoulish and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time: substack.com/home/post/p-...

I have a book to go along with this

Any writers on here use Substack for short stories/novel excerpts/journal style stuff? I'm trying to decide if a website or a substack would be better for this, or have a website just be more static info and substack for serial publishing or short stories. #writing #horrorwriting

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.
