I look forward to reading where you go! I have lately taken an interested in non-MLP ponies that were inspired by them, (and slightly critical of a lot of what I have seen).

> Starry only kicked a couple of times, reaching for solid purchase that could never come. It would have been two breaths before he realized he could feel magic again. Not the electrifying, painful surge, but a steady flow, a river of energy so deep he had never felt so at home as during the moment before his death.

I think... I have mentioned I like your descriptiveness before but I think I know how to describe it better. I have noticed, I am not sure how much of a trend this is, but a tendency towards somewhat more simplistic writing styles and advice against wording like above. So, words like 'purchase' would be swapped out for a dry description and would be less analogous. Perhaps:
> Starry only kicked a couple of times, his footing (hoofing?) unsteady. Not the electrifying, painful surge, but a steady flow. He never felt so at home as during the moment before his death.


> Eh. Can't hurt to try.

> Unlike AI.

Kind of why I have avoided generative AI.
I fear that it may kill my creativity and cause a dependency. Even if I am not blindly against it like some.

Very belated, the closet thing I have written that even might count is:
 >>/5108/
A Conversation Among The Stars/The Stars Will Aid in Her Escape (most anons, and myself, ended up calling the latter name for whatever reason). It still isn't horror or nightmare night spooky though. Just running with an idea. 

As for other spooky, I don't have a strong recommendation right now. My fave is comfy/slightly eerie over horror.

> That was as close to horror as I get and honestly I don't get how "spooky" is a genre.

I think spooky as a motif can be a genre, like, fic written for Nightmare Night are often going for a certain set of ideas and feelings. Not all spooky things though, are spooky or horror or whatever one calls it. TDLR: scariness is something that can be invoked in a lot of situations, and  the spooky/horror genre is a specific set of motifs.
