The Horror Writers Association is encouraging its members to post a selfie of themselves holding (or wearing) a sign that encourages reading, writing, or viewing horror.  Here’s mine.

You can view the whole collection, which includes people like Peter Straub, Maria Alexander, editor Stephen Jones, and a whole lot more.

A lot of the horror selfies have props or makeup.  Mine was taken in my office last night and features Nyampire and the catbus from My Neighbor Totoro over my shoulder.  It’s my attempt to show you can be serious and lighthearted simultaneously while you’re exploring the shadows.

Now I’m going to go read some horror.  I’ve got Dana Fredsti’s Plague World cued up on the treadmill.

This week’s Photo Challenge on WordPress is to photograph a sign.  You can see the whole range of blogs on the subject here.
