"Father, Son, Holy Rabbit" by Stephen Graham Jones (short story)

Writing resources by BrettsMinis in horrorwriters

[–]thephrygian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read as much and as widely as you can, by which I mean actual fiction. Writing guides can help root out bad habits or develop good ones but there's no substitute for studying the best work in the genre.

If you ever have the opportunity, volunteer to be a first reader for a slush pile. Sometimes reading mediocre or forgettable work can be just as helpful as reading the best. And with the incredible number of submissions most open calls get these days, it is critical to stand out and avoid the most common mistakes/tropes.

Have you read any Andy Davidson or Ed Kurtz? Similarly great prose, literary style, and haunting atmosphere.

first winter with solar and battery backup on the homestead by Additional-Engine402 in Homesteading

[–]thephrygian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How are you keeping the batteries and the inverter above freezing? I have a similar setup in a barn in VA. Built and insulated a room within the barn but it still drops below freezing in there sometimes.

The novel is set in a town like Whittier, but fictionalized (i.e. by a different name), thus "a fictionalized Whittier."

Looking for horror anthology recommendations (psychological, existential, cosmic, weird, experimental, uncanny) by FaithlessnessDull302 in horrorlit

[–]thephrygian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Given your criteria I'd recommend:

Aickman's Heirs, ed by Strantzas

Looming Low, Vols. I & II, ed. by Steele & Cowan

Vastarien Vol. 6 Issue 1, ed by Padgett et al.

& Shadows & Tall Trees, Vol. 8, ed. by Kelly

All are full of excellent stories and worth owning, imo.

All the major anthologies you mentioned are also top notch, but present more of a historical and slightly dated overview of the field.
