Blood and guts aren't the only things that get horror writers excited. Just ask author Andrew Robertson! In today's guest post, Andrew shares details of what it was like to find out one of his stories made the Preliminary Ballot for the Stoker Awards. He also shares the inspiration for his story and how he combined mythology and a classic literary villain in his modern retelling of a character from Lewis Carroll’s universe. An Audience with the Queen On January 20th, 2019 I was contacted by Sephera Giron, Horror Writers Association (HWA) Ontario Chapter Pr[...]
I know it's February, but it's always a great time for some trick-or-treating with a bit of murder and mayhem. So this month for Midnight Society Movie Night, join me on Twitter for Halloween! Halloween...a slasher film released October of 2018 written by David Gordon Green, Jeff Fradley, and Danny McBride, and directed by David Gordon Green brings us back to the story of Laurie Strode and what being a survivor means. Remember all those Halloween movies? We all watched them. Well, forget every one except the first, because this movie[...]
I spent the past weekend at Borderlands Press Writers Boot Camp. My cohort of writer grunts faced brutally honest horror and science fiction writers and an editor, and they pushed us to self-edit and craft our best stories. Writers (especially speculative fiction writers) who want to take their craft to the next level will be transformed by Borderlands Press Writers Boot Camp. It took two years for me to believe my writing was ready after JG Faherty recommended it to me. Application to Borderlands Boot Camp included a writing sample, after all. Once accepted, I[...]
Once upon a time, there was a girl who didn't like listening to podcasts. That is until her friends suggested some to her. So after being completely done with the current pop songs on the radio, this girl tried her first one. Now, she has found a new podcast to love...and it just so happens to be about Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Now, that should be all the introduction this podcast needs, but just in case your interest isn't sparked quite yet, let me explain. Two really cool and smart chics, named Jenny Owen Youngs and Kristin Russo, review an entire episode o[...]
Dead Space is my favorite horror game series of all time, and over the past few years, I've revisited each of the three main games with a let's play on my Co-Op Critics YouTube channel. I've recently started the series for Dead Space 3, so I thought some of our horror gaming fans might enjoy it, especially if you haven't experienced the series before. What's interesting about Dead Space 3 is that it's a prime example of a publisher ruining something great. Dead Space 1,2 and Extraction (the Wii on-rails shooter) were all fantastic, horror-driven games. But by the[...]
Tell Me What You See: Visual Writing Prompts For The Wandering Writer by Caroline Topperman is an inspiring take on travel writing. I’ve been following Caroline for a while on Instagram and have always loved her posts. They aren’t simply snapshots of her life both here and abroad. She always couples each photo with a tidbit or story that goes beyond the surface. So, it was pretty cool to see Caroline translate that artistry into book form with the release of Tell Me What You See this month. ABOUT THE BOOK More than just writing prompts, Tell Me What Y[...]
I had a work trip coming up recently and wanted to bring a good horror novel along with me. A lot of my reading as of late had been nonfiction, and I was really looking for some good, Lovecraftian horror to immerse myself in. I did a little research, and one book in particular popped up in a few different places--The Fisherman by John Langan. So, I took a chance, and picked up what turned out to be the best Lovecraftian horror (and one of the best horror novels, period) that I have read in years. Langan perfectly captures the mounting dread of a good Lovecraft st[...]
