At the end of March, I returned to the Visited by Voices vidcast series hosted by Lorne Dixon, to participate in the first VbV Writer’s Roundtable and it was a pretty amazing conversation! I chatted and laughed for over an hour with a diverse group of horror writers, all of whom I hold in high esteem: Ramsey Campbell, Brian Hodge, Mary SanGiovanni, Mark Allan Gunnells, doungjai gam & Lorne Dixon himself. It was kind of like being on a panel discussion at an international horror convention… or more like a chummy roundtable. Check it out.
We talked about so many issues, but the themes of “dark joy” (or is it wicked glee?) seemed to dominate, as we explored our influences and favorite works in the genre, what habitually drives us, what it takes to survive in today’s unsane publishing world, and cats (you can see my pet, Hex, at the top of the hour!). I left it inspired, and I bet if you’re a horror fan or author, you will too.
