Hi. Nate. Working-class cosmic horror.
My musical interests are VERY wide, and I tend to create playlists for each major piece I'm working on.
But for editing, I almost exclusively listen to instrumental jazz from mid '50s to early '70s.

I'm Tom and my horror is supernatural.
Taste changes with the seasons, but I feel at home with rock and all the traditions that led to it. Blues, folk from here and abroad, all that jazz.

My punk rock x folk horror novel starred an old punk musician, but his playlist was indie folk-girls and that built my writing playlist because it helped solidify the mood of the book. But I constantly reference songs and artists, and even wrote a song for that novel.

Hello groovy creeps, I'm Gabby. I write spooky stories about grief, regret, and other monsters.
I'm a child of the OST, so I tend to find music in background scenes of films and television. Right now I'm going really hard on Donna Summer. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBbJ...
