I have been busy establishing The Chamber over the past month or more and my writing has therefore suffered. The beautiful spring weather here in Arkansas seems to have brought in a severe bout of laziness as well. On a personal note, as of April 3, I have received both doses of the Pfizer vaccine. … Continue reading Update: The Chamber and My Writing
Update: The Chamber on YouTube
Here’s an update on what’s happening at The Chamber.
Over the last few days, I have been experimenting with developing a YouTube presence for The Chamber. At this point, I am not much of a filmmaker. I don’t have the time, experience, or equipment to develop a professional YouTube video. Ergo, I have been experimenting with public domain, royalty-free videos I can find at Pexels.com or Pixabay.com using free video editing software at Kizoa (using the basic free membership demands that I have the Kizoa logo on my works) or the very simple stuff available using the YouTube Studio editor. Above is about the best film I have developed so far. I have a longer one of a minute and fifteen seconds in the works. As I get the hang of making these, they are becoming easier to make.
I have not yet developed an ultimate goal for these videos other than to use as basic advertising on YouTube…

“The Scent” Flash Fiction by Phil Slattery
This is a story I have had published several times since it was first written around 2001. It is also the first story I ever had published. It is poignant and reflective has always been one of my favorites. A strange thing happens as Quinn lies down to sleep after a night on the town. … Continue reading “The Scent” Flash Fiction by Phil Slattery

Special Feature: “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge”
https://www.facebook.com/100027203064168/videos/545765156340248/ On Sunday, March 7, a friend of mine, Tim Stamps, whom I have known since college way back in the dark ages of the 70's, sent me this link to a truly dark video. I thought it would make an excellent special feature for The Chamber. Here's what he says about it: "Hey Phil, check … Continue reading Special Feature: “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge”

Update for March 4, 2021: Lycanthrope
Here is a quick update on my progress on my horror novel, Lycanthrope. Currently, I have over 46,000 words on Lycanthrope and I am gradually building toward a climax, probably the first of two or three along with at least two plot twists that should spice things up.

My Kind of Place to Write
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npVellnR6D8 Before the Coronavirus struck, I used to love to go to coffee shops or diners and write with a decent pen into a spiral notebook.

Creepy Cabin in the Woods
As you may know, I live in house in the remote backwoods of Arkansas on what was once a civil war battlefield. A few thousand probably died here and my house is probably very near where the Union commanding officer stood while directing the fight, which was only a hundred yards or so away. Being … Continue reading Creepy Cabin in the Woods

Update: Lycanthrope
I just now reached 40, 246 words on Lycanthrope. According to my scan of publishers on Duotrope, 40,000 words is the minimal word count that almost all publishers will consider a novel. My best estimate currently is that I will need another 20,000 words to complete Lycanthrope. I have been working on this since the … Continue reading Update: Lycanthrope

Werewolf in Action (Theoretically)
I found this while surfing Twitter today. I dare say that this is the closest you will ever come to seeing an actual werewolf in action. Now, you understand why the peoples of 16th-17th century Europe feared wolves and were terrified at the thought of werewolves. https://twitter.com/Smorgasbork/status/1364637661110165507
