@retrocc1 Thank you!

This is Fall Teachings, the "single edit" of my longer, autumnally themed poem Samhain.

The opening stanzas to The Requiem Box, a poem about a haunted trinket box found in the decayed remains of an old house... one of my favourites to open with live!

Two days till I perform at #DarkFestWorthing Launch Party. I'm really looking forward to sharing some of my favourite poems as part of Darkfest.

#WIP update!

I've put together a setlist for #DarkFestWorthing on Saturday. It'll feature my scariest poems. Be there and be scared!

Started a poem called Skeleboys too. But I won't say too much.

For reasons unknown, the Lady K has stuck a white bag over the electric fan and left itmkn the landing. If you don't hear from me again, it's because I saw it in the night and died of fright.

I really like the #Uncanny team. They suit their voices. I'm enjoying.

[Liam Smith @HoraceCSmith]

I'll be performing a set of my darkest and most gothic poetry at Darkfest Launch Party on 21/10/23. Be there, and be scared.

@MillenialMaize I'm 40 minutes into it. I'm ashamed our sterling contributed to its box office success.

In this segment of the overarching story, our protagonists have their fortunes told by mechanical, chess-playing automaton. What happens next? Why not read the whole story?

It's #NationalPoetryDay!
"The Clairvoyant" is the second (of eight) interlocking poems that form "The Patchwork Carnival". It's a #pantoum, so its lines repeat in a fixed pattern whilst retaining their meaning in a new context. Harder to write than you might think!

[Liam Smith @HoraceCSmith]

@MillenialMaize Having watched 3 tonight, yes for sure! But I'll go ranking after rewatching them all.

#WIP update!
Response to Harvest House has been amazing. Thank you to everyone who has read it so far!
Taking a week off my main WIP as there's lots going on in my day job. But been working on poems: "Trilithons" and "Great and Circling Bird of Prey".

@MillenialMaize Dip back into the Carpenter original is never a bad thing. This year new films on order are Ouija: Origin of Evil (ty in advance) and Maximum Overdrive! And the Lady K and are just revisiting the Final Destinations! 💀🖤

[Liam Smith @HoraceCSmith]

Some events in the pipeline. See you there!

Harvest House out this Friday!

Running from a shameful secret, Mike finds himself injured and alone in Harvest House. Dark figures stalk the fields as strange folk converge for an enigmatic Festival. Will there be any escape from Harvest House? #folkhorror #horror #newbook

[Liam Smith @HoraceCSmith]

Thrilled to announce I'll be performing at DarkFest Worthing this year! I'll be picking out my darkest, goriest and most gothic of pieces for this performance.
