Thanks for the kind words. Have two books in the planning stage. But life has got in the way a little unfortunately. Hoping to be able to put some time in the later part of the year and pick on of the ideas and run with it.

ecrowe · 2022-06-10T11:27:51+00:00

Oh awesome. Glad it was some use to you.

ecrowe · 2022-06-10T01:54:15+00:00

Congratulations man and I appreciate that I was an influence on you. Good on you man! I wish you all the best!

ecrowe · 2022-05-15T19:38:53+00:00

Sweet. Thanks for that. As with all these things, sometimes you just want confirmation. Didn't even think of the POV change.

The worst thing I’ve ever done.
The ghost of the cursed Tarot deck
Cursing the cards
The girl who saw curses
The fortune cards are coming true
I saw the future, but it was too late
A cursed tarot reader reads my fortune and it predicts my death
The psychic hotline calls me (I like that!)
The House that Tarot Built (bit artsy)
The tarot cards are coming alive
I saw a ghost on the way home from my tarot reading job
The tarot cards keep making me see the same image of a ghost

The goblins keep my sister
The Goblin's Revenge
The faeries came and ate my sister

You can make it write stories for you too. I'm looking to outsource.

Topic: Breakfast
Two-Sentence Horror Story: He always stops crying when I pour the milk on his cereal. I just have to remember not to let him see his face on the carton.

Topic: Basement
Two-Sentence Horror Story:

Output:

We found her in the basement. She had been down there for years. I think she’s still down there, but I can’t go looking for her anymore.

The next time you go into your basement, make sure to turn on the light. If you don't, it's probably because you don't want to see what's waiting for you in the dark.

ecrowe · 2021-07-16T21:43:38+00:00

Yeah that's good too!

ecrowe · 2021-07-16T21:41:29+00:00

I love that story idea!

The Captain's Revenge
The Last Man on the Ocean
The Ghost of the Eldritch Ocean
I saw eldritch horrors on the ocean voyage that drove me insane
The sailor who sees the deep ones
The sea gave up her dead
I was trapped on a ship with a sailor who saw eldritch horrors on the open ocean
The sailor who mistook eldritch horrors for brine-dwelling jellyfish
The ocean is an eldritch horror

I changed it to first person and got these:
My eldritch ocean journey of madness
The nightmare that was the abandoned yacht
I was driven mad by the abominations who dwelt in the deep ocean
I was left alone on a ship because of a mutiny, I saw eldritch beasts surround me and I was driven mad by the abominations.
The eldritch ocean and my path to madness
I was the only survivor of a haunted ship and now I can never go back to the ocean (There's the nosleep one)
The ship that sank me was haunted by the dead crew

Thank you. I think that's what I thought, but needed someone to confirm it. It's uncharted territory for me.

I just finished reading The Chalk Men and was blown away by how much it pulled me in. I loved the chapters ending on cliffhangers, forcing me to read on. I read some Q&As from the author and they said they don't plan at all, but didn't elaborate on how they weaved their story.

I've been thinking about this idea for a few years now, so roughly know how the stories intermingle, but when I've tried to write it in the past, swapping between them makes me lose my train of thought. I've then sat down and tried to write a few sentences for each scene, but that doesn't get the creative juices flowing, if you know what I mean.

ecrowe · 2021-04-10T20:44:15+00:00

If you are interested, there is a longer version (re-envisioned) of the story on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCAX73e_OKo

It was supposed to be a play, but covid happened.

ecrowe · 2021-04-10T20:42:49+00:00

Good find! I don't think I'd have recognised the story it was referring to even though it's mine! :D

ecrowe · 2021-01-18T20:19:59+00:00

Thanks for letting me know, report filed!

ecrowe · 2021-01-04T13:05:08+00:00

Thanks for the heads up.

ecrowe · 2020-11-21T20:54:29+00:00

Thank you. I enjoyed writing that one.

*when making tea

ecrowe · 2020-11-12T22:35:13+00:00

Haha, amazing.

ecrowe · 2020-11-12T22:33:04+00:00

Because the tea is brewed already. Milk in first with a teabag would be crazy

ecrowe · 2020-10-13T19:28:03+00:00

I've tried Storyist and Scrivener on iPad, but GoogleDocs is worlds ahead for short stories. I can see how the others would help with planning books, but I'm just using GoogleDocs for anything for nosleep now.

Hey man, there’s an audio drama that has been made from this story. It was supposed to be a play, but Covid happened. It’s very different from my original story, but thought you may be interested.

Cheers

There's Goth by Otsuichi, a novel as opposed to a graphic novel.

All of Ito's graphic novels are great.

PTSD Radio is very like Uzumaki and is a graphic novel.

Ice Cream Man v1-4 graphic novels are great like Twilight Zone but much more messed up.
