Horror Interviews on The Book Case podcast

If you're not listening to The Book Case with Kate & Charlie Gibson (of Good Morning America fame) then you're missing out on some great conversations about not only today's bestselling books, but also about the horror genre itself. Kate is a lively interviewer and such an intelligent reader -- and lately has been having a blast trying to get her father Charlie to read and enjoy and understand the horror genre in his retirement, as together they read current books and talk about them with their guest authors. They also routinely interview people in the book business and include…

Veterans in Horror

I rarely talk about my days in the military. I am also anti-war and loathe the crassness of July 4th (as does my cat). But freedom means everything to me, and I'm proud to be a veteran. Serving in the Army helped me not only meet some amazing people and make good lifelong friends, but supported my first-generation entry into college afterward. It was also where I wrote my first horror story, because I was reading so much of it, and tried on a lark to see if I could be as clever as Stephen King. I wasn't. But even…

Why I Love Horror

I recently was invited to share a guest post on Becky Spratford's RA for All: Horror blog, answering the deceptively simple prompt question, What do you love about horror? What's not to love? Such a difficult question, and I got stuck on how to answer this question until I started separating it out into the infamous "seven types" of love, identified by Greek philosophers. That sounds awfully geeky, but I had a lot of fun with it. You can read this interview on the 31 Days of Horror section of RA for All: Horror In the entry, I explain why…

Voices Echoing in Your Head

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…

Instigating with Brain Squalls Podcast

Over the holidays, I appeared on the Brain Squalls podcast as their first guest. Every episode of the podcast -- run by horror author EV Knight and her partner Matt Daigh -- is a creativity experiment, in which the two of them come up with prompts for story or art ideas and then create story lines and structures "live" as they pursue the possibilities. It's a lot of fun. And when I was in the mix, bringing a little Instigation to the table, it was a lot of weird. I had a great time daydreaming on the dark side with…
