Eight-year-old Bela is the only child in a dysfunctional family full of secrets. Bela has also been keeping her own secret from Mommy and Daddo.

@Well_Worth_A_Read@horror@horrorbooks I am not happy about it triggering night terrors in you but this is a good sign I may actually find it scary so I appreciate this info 😆

@emmaaum I can tell you that Ring (the Japanese original) scared the crap out of me too! And I couldn’t even watch Ju-on because our futon was on the floor next to the futon cupboard… 😱
#horror – #horrorcomics – #comicbooks – #Purgatori – #RayFawkes – @DynamiteComics – Author: Ray Fawkes Purgatori’s always pissing somebody off — but this time she’s gone too far! It may have some connection to her growing insanely powerful and probably starting to kill and eat the gods. In fact, that last part for sure. And […] …
Writing a horror novella with a romance subplot made me realize... I haven't read any modern romance novels! Need to expand my horizon so I am super open to recommendations!
I have three new writing workshops coming up in June and July! Building on the success of Design-A-Ghost, I'd like to invite you to join me to explore some more familiar characters from #SFF and #horror by reading extracts from classic and contemporary authors together, and then using writing prompts and exercises to create your own unique monsters, aliens, and robots! 👹👽🤖
The movie was great!😮Some less than ideal editing+camera choices, and extremely generic music really hurt the movie, but I still found it very enjoyable.
Bummed that Jeffrey Combs didn’t make an appearance😥He would’ve been perfect as the patient’s dad😭

💙📚 HOT DEMON BITCHES NEAR YOU from J.E. Erickson is an exuberant blast of gore & grue. The Horrors are heavy here, but balanced with deliciously devilish delights & a LOT of heart. (Lots of OTHER body parts, too.) You'll be disturbed, delighted, horrified- but also cackling. HELL, yeah! (Self-published)

World Literature Today has published a wonderful review of Tiffany Morris's GREEN FUSE BURNING. I love the last line, highlighted in the pic: "In a 2023 interview, Morris defines her dream job as being “a forest oracle who gives cryptic messages to travelers”: Green Fuse Burning jump-starts her career."

WHEN THE DEVIL is a novelette from Emma E. Murray that packs many horrors inside of its compelling, feverish intensity.

I started watching this one last night but dozed off halfway through. Not because I was bored but because I'm at that age where I shouldn't start a movie past 9pm. I'll finish it tonight. It gave off "Talk To Me" vibes with bad things that happen when people contact the dead. #baghead#shudder#horror@horror

#Exhuma really scratched that itch in my brain. Jang Jae-hyun, the director of the film, also created Svaha: Sixth Finger (2019). I do notice they share some similarities.
