Introduction


Chilling Adventures is run by a lifelong fan of horror and fantasy who has spent the last fifteen years hung up on the wanna-be rung of writing, self-defeating and watching the world pass by. Recently, I have discovered the #pulprevolution and while my relationship with some of the political edges of the movement are conflicted, I am galvanized by the passion, output, cooperation and camaraderie displayed therein. While sci-fi and fantasy still have strong voices, horror is quietly subsumed back into other genres or hidden under other masks.

None of that here. I am J.E. Bennett, and I am a supernatural horror writer and fan. Here at Chilling Adventures, you will find:


  • Monstervision: Monsters new and some old, written up for your fictional or roleplaying uses through the upcoming Chilling Adventures Game.
  • Sinister Seeds: The unsprouted kernels of terrifying scenarios and events, scattered freely to the world to encourage both myself and others to create abundantly!
  • Eerie Encounters: Vignettes, scenelets, and movements more developed than Sinister Seeds pointing toward a wider world of supernatural horror adventure in your story or game.
  • Macabre Musings: Essays and articles on horror, heroism, and the craft of writing.
  • Heroes of Horror: Occult investigators, vampire slayers, psychics, and plucky reporters from history, media, and new creation standing ready to oppose the evil of the Unknown World.
  • Gruesome Gaming: The second-stage development of the Chilling Adventures Game, a retro-inspired game of horrific and eerie supernatural adventure, along with generally applicable horror gaming tools and reviews.
  • Ravenous Reviews: Reviews of old and new horror fiction, music, movies, and audio plays.


I welcome you to join me on these Chilling Adventures, as I cease to silence myself and instead find a way to being the artist and craftsman I have prepared all my life to become.

Looking at the world through monster eyes,
