Oh hey, I’m Honeygloom, I write 100% Plant-Based Horror and run the Horror Haiku Club, but also dabble in other gruesome delights. I don’t have much of an introduction as I sprang from the void a fully formed ghostthing, but I’ve been on Substack for just over a year and can’t imagine haunting any other place.

Hi hello! I'm Jean and after blogging on Substack on and off for a few years, I launched Through a Glass, Darkly back in January, which is the main hub for my fiction (mostly dark), as well as occasional musings on the paranormal informed by a Biblical worldview. After over a decade of involvement with both traditional and indie publishing, I've gotten just a little bit jaded with the publishing industry, so for the time being, Substack is my main publishing venue. It's going fairly well and I'm actually having a good time writing again. I'm serializing my published books here, as well as posting new and original fiction. And for the time being, all of it's free, so stop by and check it out.

And it might be a new axe, but Old Faithful seems like a good name.

Hi, I'm Jennifer and I've been writing Autumn Lives Here on Substack for 25 months now, covering horror, true crime, Halloween and cocktails. I did Autumn and Halloween in a big way for ten years on a book review site and it became a gathering there, so I decided to make it all year long on Substack and include my short stories.

As to your new ax, I'm throwing the name "Sweet Thing" in the hat.

Nice dialect work. Twain couldn't have done it better--and I doubt he could handle an axe, anyway.

Hello, M-Crew (and Ma Cobb). People in the Bay call me Seany, but people in LA call me Shony. People in NY call me things I can't repeat, and people overseas call me collect. You can call me whatever you'd like.

I'm a bit genre-fluid at the moment, but I lean toward horror on the darkness spectrum. I'm still finding my voice as a writer, but I think I'm closing in on what brings me the most joy (and isn't that what it's all about?). Some of my favorite famous short fiction writers are Roald Dahl, Flannery O'Connor, Ray Bradbury, Gogol, Chekhov, Shirley Jackson, and Patricia Highsmith.

If you're new here, welcome to the community! There are soooo many great authors on Substack right now.
