@arcarver87 I must admit I was a bit shocked by getting a message from that guy yesterday on Instagram. I'm not judging you though. I understand these things are rarely that simple. Only you know the full story and I hope you get whatever help you need for yourself and for your mum.

Answer three: The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson - an important and classic work, and extremely creepy. I wanted to say Frankenstein by Mary Shelley but I see it more as scifi than straight horror. #HorrorWritersChat https://t.co/5tG3kVt7X3

@Samantha_Eaton3 @TeaWhileWriting I always recommend Clive Barker's The Thief of Always for this kind of request. It's a YA dark fantasy/ horror and one of his best books. Tragic that most haven't heard of it

@thatwilliambeck Have you read any of the Rivers of London books by Ben Aaronovitch? That looks at a lot of London folklore too, including personifying the rivers (hence the name)

@BookSpotlight I don't know about TV but a book fitting that description would be The Silver Pigs by Lindsey Davis - first book in the Falco series

To kick off a review of my indie reviews for this month, the first indie horror that made a real impression on me was The Dark by @jason_brant. To this day (I read it about 6 years ago) it still has one of the best first chapters I've ever read. https://t.co/k4dVrIc7Bm

Funnily enough seeing seeing the aesthetics of Avatar: The Way of Water tonight, I thought to myself that I'd love to see an adaptation of Dark Eden by Chris Beckett https://t.co/svMSfFHamL

Does anyone know where Teresa Grabs disappeared to? I started reading their book "Reflected Echo" last night and I'm hooked. Wanted to tag them but the account is gone, same with Instagram.

@barb_avon haha. Jasper Fforde wrote a book about that - it's called The Well of Lost Plots (book 3 in the Thursday Next series). A universe where unfinished plots and characters stay until fully realised.

@BookSpotlight I forgot to say before I blocked him... Andy Weir's The Martian was originally self-published
