Welcome back to Birds with Words! Today we have a guest that has been a long time coming. Blake Myers is one of the core members to the Dark Veil Society, and the author to my favorite read of 2025, Who Put Bella in the Wych Elm? We learn about him as a person, his take on “pantsing vs plotting,” and we get a surprise visit from his dog.
Walpurgis Words for Literacy is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, incorporated in Ohio and founded by a collective of indie horror and dark fantasy authors from around the world—united under The Dark Veil Society. We believe that literacy is transformative, and that the darkest, most imaginative stories often come from the youngest voices.
Our mission is to support high school students as readers and writers. Through our annual Halloween Horror Flash Fiction Student Contest, school and library book donation program, and author mentorship initiatives, we provide the resources and recognition that young authors deserve. Our annual fundraising drive runs from April 1st through Walpurgis Night—because we believe in the power of stories, told in the dark.
Support the future readers and writers today.
