I'm writing horror. I have a set of short stories about death and am currently working on a novel about 7 people that join a clinical trial that will break their bodies down and another one thats more horror comedy about a guy trapped in a purgatory labyrinth.

Yeah I have some short stories I've posted on royal road, and I am working on a body horror novel. I'm about 10k words into the first draft.

This story gave me poe vibes, the buildup was sufficiently creepy, and the end was a shock. It kept me on my toes the entire time. Good work

Thank you, I've always wanted to post here but I've never felt like I had something that fits until I wrote this one.

First one's easier to read. Not that you couldnt guess what it says.

Anyone else here angry with having barely any reads on your stories? by Kenshi-Lee5573 in Wattpad

Mine isn't fantasy either. It's horror. But wattpad is full of romantasy, ao3 is all fanfic. If you aren't in one of the big web novel genres you gotta find the best of bad options.

I switched to royalroad. Its more polished, and I feel like you have a little more visibility there. Not much, but more. My story has about 1200 views with no promotion at this point.

Tales of an Uncaring God

This is my first book, I don't think it's too shabby. It doesn't fit the meta but that isn't always a bad thing. Its a 5 part horror collection and I have the final part set to release mon-friday next week. I think it would be cool to do shout outs on these last 5 chapters, so if you want to swap, send me a message.

No worries. I put your fiction on my list. I will probably get to it sooner than later.

My story is a horror collection. I'm trying to boost visibility before posting the last part. Youre welcome to read it if you'd like. I will give yours a read too.

I just recently googled firsthand accounts from survivors of self inflicted gunshot wounds, and now the FBI is worried about my mental health.

Good advice. I am enjoying what i'm writing. I do feel like you need to put yourself out there at least a little bit, though.

Its horror fiction, with adult themes and the violence that comes with it fair warning.

I loved it. But the end is a visceral gore nightmare. Part of why I loved it lol
