it’s so good 🔥🔥🔥

The house, like the girl, is seductive.

In the greenhouse, there is a faint perfume of death.

I made a Query Crash Course but I don't believe in gatekeeping. Querying/pub shouldn't be this big secret. There is no right way to query and there is NO way to quickly make six figs...I'd be doing it already! 🔗to a 40 page Canva guide in the next tweet #WritingCommunity

Yesssss

The girl flees the house, carrying a lingering fear and an echo in the back of the mind.

Literal dream cover

Hi, I’m Carmen! I write Gothic, horror, and other dark fiction. My WIP is a Gothic horrormance about rival ghost hunters who get stuck in a haunted house together. #WTMPWaitingRoom

prose poem Okay Donkey Magazine published a while back 🤠 returning to this one as i work on my dissertation/INDEX OF BONES

I’m not satisfied with my last line yet so first line it is: “The dead rat was a bad omen.”

Such a vibe

So behind on these! But I love writing horror 😁 from when my MC arrives at The House™️: “A chunk was gouged from the side of the tower, exposing the inner beams. Just like the side of her mother’s head was smashed in, exposing her skull and brain matter.” #WTMPWaitingRoom

I always write best in the morning, before too much enters my brain. Ideally before anyone else wakes up and it’s just me and my coffee and my words. #WTMPWaitingRoom

this book is literally everything I want in a gothic horrormance and I can’t wait til it gets snatched up (because it absolutely will) 🖤

A haunted house, but it's your ancestral home in Croatia, which you've never been. Your grandma refuses to talk about the past, and yet, locals whisper of a family curse. Every night, your body freezes up in bed and sometimes you see a ghostly woman stalking the lavender field...
