Happy New Year!
Thanks to everyone who helped make 2022 special! First and foremost, thanks to everyone who wrote with us at @horrorprompt and @haikuprompt. It’s a pleasure and an honor to inspire works of horror from so many creative minds. This year, @NarlenBrando and @mrremoraman, joined me as permanent co-hosts and I couldn’t be happier to have them on board. I hope you’ll join us in 2023 for our weekly #HorrorPromptAwards Twitter Spaces where we celebrate the most terrifying tweets of the week. Thanks to everyone who nominated tweets this year and helped us celebrate the horrors.
Special thanks to @Matthew_DS9, for his musical contributions, to @mrremoraman and @TheVoidGospel, for their wicked #horrorprompt mug designs and gasmask art, and to everyone else who shared #horrorprompt art with us.
The first #horrorprompt Poetry and Prose anthology was published on Halloween. Read work from the 25 contributing authors when you download your free copy today!
Congratulations to our #Mugtober merch winners and massive thanks to my Patrons and all of my supporters for making this possible.
Here’s to a terrific and inspired 2023!
