@pensword So, the WIP I just finished the first full draft of yesterday (hurray!) kind of has horror elements to it. I mean, the broader novel it’s set in definitely skews much towards historical fantasy than horror, but its magical elements are much less “whimsical fantasy” and more on the side of “what would it actually be like if someone could forcibly take control of your mind and body”.

However, my reading experience of horror is rather more limited. Most of my inspiration for horror stuff has come from media and video-games – namely the brilliant voice acting of Wayne June, who has also done a lot of Lovecraft audio books. So it would be nice actually to have a group that specializes in horror (or at least has an interest in experiencing it) to help me figure out how to write good spine-tingling horror without just beating my head against the anvil of revolting physical imagery. Shock-schlock does not translate well across paper.
