#StoryHour2020 #ShortStories #ShortFiction #AuthorReading#Horror #HorrorFiction #ECDorgan #ACWise Story Hour Livestream Speculative Fiction Readings Hosted by Daniel Marcus and Laura Blackwell October 21, 7:00 p.m. PDT Guests: EC Dorgan and A.C. Wise www.storyhour2020.com Images of guests: Head-and-shoulders color portrait of author EC Dorgan, a Métis woman with dark, graying hair worn straight at shoulder length and parted on the side. She wears a red flannel button-down over a black tee. She poses in front of greenery, looking slightly down into the camera with a serious expression. Head-and-shoulders color portrait of author A.C. Wise, a fair-skinned woman with auburn hair parted on one side and pulled back into what looks like a low braided bun. She wears a black spaghetti-strap top, a collar necklace of long silver beads, wire-rimmed glasses that are frameless on the bottom edge, an elaborate silver hoop earring in the helix of her visible ear, and red lipstick. She sits in front of a blurred backdrop, holding a leatherbound copy of Edgar Allan Poe’s Tales of Mystery and Imagination to her chest and looks steadily into the camera with light gray-green eyes, smiling enigmatically.

One of the most common questions you get as a writer is: where do you get your ideas from? And usually, I have no clue. It’s like a little gremlin whispered it into my ear while I was sleeping. But in my latest story, The Not Dog Thing, published in Bourbon Penn, I know exactly where it came from.

It was heavily influenced by the work of Sarah Pinsker and AC Wise, along with those online videos about people raising injured hedgehogs or squirrels or bobcats that they string together in heartwarming montages…but with a kind of werewolf creature :)

If that sounds up your alley, check it out in Bourbon Penn. if it doesn’t, remember there is a whole world of short fiction you can read right now in awesome magazines online! Either way, I hope you’re reading something you love right now!

Ghost Sequences by A.C Wise was a collection of short stories, in this case, I did by audio.

If you are someone looking to get into horror, want a lighter toned horror or needing something quick between books, this may be a good place to go. The stories are not overly scary/upsetting, they are from a variety of genres and narrative structures which there were a couple original concepts I hadn’t seen before.

I summarised genres but they can definitely be expanded upon. Paranormal themes (obviously) occur a lot, however others include ones with a Lovecraftian element and ‘urban legend’ style horrors. A shoutout for my favourite stories: Harvest Song, Ghost Stories and Exhalation.

“I won’t sleep for weeks.”—Bonnie Jo Stufflebeam, author of Grim Root

Fans of H. P. Lovecraft will rejoice in (and recoil from) this long-awaited sequel to the bestselling anthology Lovecraft’s Monsters, editoed by Ellen Datlow. Lovecraft’s Brood is a must-add to any horror fan’s library…or else.

A prison guard and a convict have an affair fueled by the hallucinations of fungal spores. Squatters arrive in a weird train station where they unearth a strange idol. Researchers discover skin thieves instead of normal turtles. A mescal-tasting tour turns utterly terrifying. An old woman stitches a portal that is disrupted by a nameless cat.

Discover the Mythos as you’ve never experienced it before. These dizzying new spins on classic Lovercraftian themes will leave you disoriented but hopefully sane (we make no promises).

Seriously… yesterday at The Vampire Library was so much fun. Not even a nor’easter deterred the glorious horde of readers that descended upon us. Thanks to all who braved the weather 🖤

The day ended with pizza and a PSL Espresso Martini with friends!

As usual, I did a terrible job at remembering to take pictures. A million thanks to at @lcw.allingham for organizing this fantastic event (& for taking some of these photos) 🩸🧛‍♀️ and huge thank you to @vampamuseum for hosting!
