About R C Mulhare
R.C. Mulhare has the distinction of reading a translation of the famous cursed play "The King in Yellow" without going mad,once successfully defended her day-job workplace from zombies, through some judicious use of clearance-rack garden tools, and fought off a group of Yog-Sothoth cultists in the hallway of a hotel in Providence, Rhode Island...
In actuality, R.C. Mulhare was born in Lowell, Massachusetts and grew up in one of the surrounding towns, in a hundred year old house up the street from a centuries-old cemetery. Her interest in the dark and mysterious started when she was quite young, when her mother read the faery tales of the Brothers Grimm and quoted the poetry of Edgar Allen Poe to her, while her Irish storyteller father infused her with a fondness for strange characters and quirky situations. When she isn't writing, she moonlights in grocery retail, and given the cross-section of people you see in grocery stores, this gives her a lot of ideas for characters in her stories. A two-time Amazon best-selling author, contributor to the Hugo Award Winning Archive of Our Own, and member of the New England Horror Writers, her work previously appeared with Atlantean Publishing, Macabre Maine, and FunDead Publications, Deadman's Tome, and Weirdbook Magazine, with four more stories already slated for release in 2019. She shares her home with her family, two small parrots, about fifteen hundred books and an unknown number of eldritch things that rattle in the walls when she's writing late in the night....

Blog postWe live interesting times, in the sense of the old curse.
So the writing has gotten a bit rocky: a family member came down with a bad head cold (no, not COVID-19, thank heaven) and I had my hands full taking care of them. Also my day job has been utter madness. I’ve worked in this company for eighteen years. I’ve seen people stocking up for hurricanes and snowstorms. I’ve worked during the major holiday seasons (In order of craziness: Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, Memorial Day an2 years ago Read more -
Blog postAs seems usual, I had every intention to write and post something here for #WomenInHorrorMonth, except I had my hands full writing the horror fiction. But, here on the last day of February (thank you, Leap Year, for an extra day to write this entry), I have a post full of news about the things that have flown up from my writing desk.
Last Saturday, I wended my way again to legend-haunted Salem for the fourth annual Write Like A Girl at the Witch House, courtesy of the spooktacular l2 years ago Read more -
Blog postMy path has wended to legend-haunted Arkham – I mean, Salem – an increasing number of times lately. On a personal level, a medical professional whom I’ve worked with moved their office to Salem. But the writing has also brought me there once already this winter.
Curtis M. Lawson invited me to take part in Wyrd, a semi-regular evening of dark fiction readings at Salem, MA’s Koto, a Japanese restaurant in town (with some of the tastiest sushi I have had in a long time). I read part of2 years ago Read more -

Blog postNow that the day job craziness around Christmas/the December Holidays (Holi-daze??) has finally dropped into my rearview mirror, I can dust off my writing journals and get back to what I do best.
This year, this decade, I have decided that the time has come to clear out the journals full of half-written and barely written stories and completed stories. Obviously, that means finishing the former and typing the latter. I went through the piles of journals (I tend to start a piece eith2 years ago Read more -
Blog postOne of my odd personal writing goals which I set for myself entailed publishing a story a month, or twelve stories within twelve months. I didn’t make this a hard and fast goal, just something to see if I could pull off.
Hoo boy, I achieved that goal (minus a story coming out in January) and then some! Below I’ve run down those published tales…

Blog postAs of now, I’m getting into the busy season at the day job, and that means I’ve put publishing – or at least preparing things for publishing (ie. typing and/or editing with a deadline within the next four weeks) – on the back burner for the time being. Not to say I won’t write between now and, say, New Year’s Day (or Super Bowl Sunday, if the local sportsball team makes there), I’ll just draft things and polish them when I have the mental wherewithal for it.

Blog postOctober is behind us, but my folks and I are still celebrating Halloween. When you write spooky stories and dark fantasy, every day is Halloween! My family and I had a wonderful if windy Halloween night and a cool and cozy Halloweekend (I may have invented that word?). Also, the book sale in Salem went splendidly, outside of having to cancel on Sunday, as the weather turned rainy and outdoor market+books+rain doesn’t make a fun equation. I sold out one title and had to run to a friend’s2 years ago Read more

Blog postYet more radio silence, and as usual, I have very good reasons for it. Three very good reasons for it. Given the nature of publishing horror and dark fantasy fiction, October is like Christmas: people buy/read horror during the run up to Halloween, thus a wise publisher releases their most horrific horror books during the month of all things spooky. Generally, I’ve had a story or two arrive in October, but this year… I have three stories and a fourth one in a state of pre-publishing.

Blog postI’ve been quiet on here for a lot of reasons:
-I’ve been writing some stories for the heck of it, finishing up some things that had sat gathering dust in several journals, including a comedy tale involving a bed and breakfast whose rooms are air conditioned by ghosts, and a dramatic urban fantasy involving a regular mortal Catholic priest assigned to work with a community of vampires. Now I just need to find potential markets to send them to, which can pose some challenges. All in g3 years ago Read more -
Blog postI think I’ve talked elsewhere about my efforts to find a home in print for a Gothic novella that I wrote last year, which I’ve been hard put getting published by the usual routes (In some ways, it probably steps outside the usual parameters of Gothic fiction, due to the presence of clear supernatural elements, due to the presence of clear supernatural elements, something atypical to the genre). I decided since I keep hitting walls with this particular book, I would self-publish it. I’ve3 years ago Read more
