Interview with horror author Shaun Avery )O(

Merry meet all,

Welcome everyone. Today we’re chatting with Shaun Avery as he shares his passion for horror with us. 

Why horror?  Do you have a favourite subgenre in horror?

 

Why horror?  Because it’s my favourite genre, of course!  Also because it’s the most versatile – you can tell a great horror story in 100 words and you can tell an equally great horror story in 1000 pages.  Plus it’s the most malleable for mashing up genres – there’s sci-fi horror, fantasy horror, noir horror, just to name a few.  My own favourite subgenre has to be body horror – blame seeing Hellraiser at an early impressionable age.

Which other horror authors influenced you the most and why?

 

The one that blew me away the most was definitely the late, great Richard Laymon – before him, the only horror I’d encountered was small town-set, Stephen King-inspired sort of stuff, and I was completely unprepared for the savage, unrepentant splatterpunk of that much-missed master.  To this day, the best book I’ve ever read is one of his, Island.  I’d encourage anyone with a strong stomach and a sick sense of humour to go check it out.  Also Bentley Little, Ed Gorman, Jack Ketchum, Brian Keene, Edward Lee, Bryan Smith – all the extreme guys for always pushing it to the limits (and often beyond).

Plus, in comics, Garth Ennis.  I’m such a massive fanboy of his.

Tell me about your writing/editing process.

 The first draft is always just the bare bones of the story – he went here and this happened, she went there and thathappened, that sort of thing.  This allows me to find the feel of the story, to get an idea of what it’s trying to say.  Then the next draft is smoothing it up, fleshing it out.  Next comes the really fun part, where you get to add all the extras, embellish the themes, make it sing . . .

That description makes it sound a whole lot simpler than it sometimes actually is!

What inspires you to write horror?

 It’s kind of the same as why I said I like it – it’s so versatile.  You can deal with any and all issues with horror and that’s why I keep going back to it both as a reader and writer – tales of terror can tell us so much about our lives and ourselves.

What do you love about indie publishing?

 The friends I’ve made and the lessons I’ve learned that have helped me become a better writer.  Mainly the former, though – there are so many cool people I would never have encountered had I not picked up a pen (another part of the editing process – when I’m writing prose, I do everything in handwriting first and then type it up) and hit a ‘send’ button sometime later.  That still kind of blows my mind sometimes.

Which is your favourite horror movie or book?  Which movie or book impressed and inspired you the most?

Damn, I already spoilered my answer for the book above!  As for movies, within the horror genre it’d have to be The Evil Dead and American Psycho, that latter one officially the most quotable film ever.  My all-time favourite movies, though, are the Zack Snyder DC Comics trilogy, especially Batman VS Superman.  I went to the midnight screening for that one.  That was a fun time!

Is there any music that helps you to write?

 I have such an eclectic taste in music, my YouTube algorithm must sometimes think I am several different people.  It’s usually punk or metal when I’m writing, though, Green Day and The Offspring for the former, Metallica and Megadeth for the latter (amongst many, many others!)  The heavier stuff tends to go best with the often gross-out things I write.

Do you have any special projects you want readers to know about?

 Comics are the medium I love most, both as a writer and a reader, so this self-published, co-created work will always have a special place in my heart: http://www.comicsy.co.uk/dbroughton/store/products/spectre-show/

Where can readers find you on social media?

On Facebook, under shaun.avery.50 – I’m something of a luddite, so Facebook is as far down the social media rabbit hole as I wish to go.

 

Brian Smith who I interviewed on this blog recently has cause to celebrate. His short story collection is released into the wild today. Read more about it here:

Strange Discovery and Other Strange Discoveries

It’s been six years since Brian J. Smith, the author of such novels as Bad Allergies, Dark Avenues and Dead River, has gathered a fright fest of stories to whet any horror fan’s appetite for the weird, dark tales with his first short story collection “Dark Avenues”.
Now, he returns with a brand new collection featuring seventeen dark tales.
A private eye searching for a missing teen discovers a strange town ritual…
A weary traveler discovers that the darkness harbors more than just shadows…
Two brothers discover that disturbing a demonic ritual has consequences…
When something crashes outside of a local radio station, a DJ discovers that it is just more than a meteor shower…
These stories are more are just waiting to be unraveled and read with the lights on.
As we said the last time you read a Brian J. Smith collection, don’t say we didn’t warn you.
“Phenomenal storytelling that will make you wish each story would go on and on. Brian is one to look out for.”
-Shannon Bradner, Curb Stomp
“From nostalgic, slasher-type tales and urban legends to a glimpse into an afterlife at the Infinity Drive-in, Brian J. Smith serves up horrific, bite-sized helpings of terrifying sex, drugs, and rock & roll. Brian’s love of the horror genre comes through with every word”. -Kerry E.B. Black, author of CarNex: Storm

Interview with horror author Ashley Fox

Merry meet all,

Today we meet to chat with Ashley. Let’s settle in with our rich dark coffees and clear a few cobwebs here. Read on if you dare! 

 

Why horror? Do you have a favorite subgenre in horror?

 

I love the feeling it gives me. The heart pounding in your chest feeling when you don’t know what is going to happen or what is going to jump out and scare you. Anything could happen and you never know which way things are going to go. I love horror of all kinds. Slashers are my favorite and have been since I was a kid. I love the extreme horror side. The gorier the better!

 

Which other horror authors influenced you the most and why?

 

When I started out in the horror community it was as an editor. A few people had trusted me with their projects and I thought it was so cool that they got to do this and put their work out there for everyone to read. Stuart Bray was the one who gave me the shove to publish my first book. He helped me through the process, plus he writes one hell of a book! He is always an automatic buy for me. He inspires me to dig deeper and work harder on the things I love. Chuck Nasty is another inspiration to me. He encourages me to write, has shown me new ways to look at what I am writing, and has made me a better writer.

 

Tell me about your writing/editing process.

 

I hand write a lot of things before I get them on my computer. I have a full notebook from when I wrote Little Glass Jars. Some pages are writing, others have lists of potential names for characters, and some have drawings of things like floor plans of the homes I am using as settings so that I can get it all just right. The hand writing process helps me to be able to re read what I have as I type it out, and to be able to flip through the pages and see what I have without scrolling up and down my document. I then print everything and edit with pen on paper. With self publishing I order an author copy so that I can go over it again and put tabs in pages for any fixes I need to make before telling everyone it is available to order. It sounds like a lot of work but I feel like it’s worth it to me to make what I am putting out there as close to perfect as I can be. There will always still be mistakes but this process helps me cut down on a lot of them. 

 

What inspires you to write horror?

 

I have always been a horror fan. I am also the person who guesses the endings to shows and movies way before the twist happens. I started writing because I wanted to put something out there that not many people would see coming. Not all books have that big twist and I have since started going back to the things that drew me to horror in the first place, the old slashers, the gore, and all things campy. 

 

What do you love about indie publishing?

 

The support in the indie publishing circle is phenomenal. Everyone encourages one another and shares the work of other people. We have all been through the same process and know that it is something worth cheering for. 

 

What is your favorite horror movie or book? Which movie or book impressed and inspired you the most?

 

Scream is my all time favorite horror movie. It combines so many of my favorite elements into one film. There are creative kills, blood and gore, and the twist at the end. I have seen it a million times, but the look on Billy’s face as he turns for the big reveal is just the perfect scene. I am a sucker for old horror. I love everything by Edgar Allan Poe, The Turn of the Screw by Henry James, that kind of thing. I also love zombie books, Stephen King, and mysteries like the ones Kathy Reichs writes. I feel like I mash them all together for inspiration. It’s not just one thing, it’s a combination of so many. 

 

Is there any music that helps you to write?

 

I can’t listen to music when I write. I love music too much and I would be distracted by the songs and not get anything written. I will often put on a show that I have seen multiple times so that I don’t feel like I have to pay attention, it’s just on in the background. Something like Supernatural, The Walking Dead, Dexter, or Nip/Tuck.

 

Do you have any special projects you want readers to know about?

 

I have a few things going right now. I bounce around from one to the other so it could be a while before any are ready to go. I have been working on a slasher book, a revenge type extreme horror story, and I will be in an anthology in the fall so keep your eyes open for that one. I have also started work on a follow up to my debut Little Glass Jars. 

 

Where can readers find you on social media?

 

I post everything about upcoming projects on Instagram under Ashley Fox Author. I don’t have a website yet, but maybe one day! For now you can pick up my books on Amazon, and my short story collection Heebie Jeebies is also on Godless.

Interview with horror author Brian Smith )O(

Merry meet all,

Welcome, everyone, to a very special blog post. Today we are discussing horror with successful author Brian Smith. Brian has agreed to chat in my dark cobweb ridden corner of the web, so let’s get started. 

Why horror? Do you have a favorite subgenre in horror?

As a kid who grew up in the 80’s, as a part of Generation X, horror was everywhere. Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees and slasher films in general but I was mostly interested in bug movies like Kingdom Of The Spiders, Island Claws, Frogs and such.

It’d have to be a supernatural horror because there’s so many things ghosts can do some really fucked up shit like change your Wi-Fi password or chase you up the stairs after turn off all the lights in the house.

Which other horror authors influenced you the most and why?

Edgar Allan Poe got to me first, then Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Robert McCammon, Richard Laymon, Jack Ketchum, Brian Keene, Edward Lee, Bentley Little and H.P. Lovecraft. 

What inspires you to write horror?

On top of growing up with slasher and bug movies, I also grew up with Stephen King movies. I checked out Stephen King’s Night Shift from the local library when I was twelve and then I fed myself every Dean Koontz book I could get my hands on. I’ve always enjoyed the fact that authors can turn the everyday lives of an everyday person by throwing them into a panicked and harried situation.

Tell me about your writing/ editing process

My writing process is as fucked up as my editing process because I’ll sit down and get the bare bones of the story out of my head and then I’ll print it out and go through it as best as I can and edit the entire book by adding new paragraphs and scenes into the book and as the meme says, “I do all of my best editing after I hit SEND”.

Which is your favorite horror movie or book? Which movie or book impressed and inspired you the most?

Everyone goes through a horror at some point in their lives whether its an abusive spouse or family member or some life-altering shift in their young and impressionable life at one time or another.

I write horror because it’s real. I write horror because we welcome unknown horrors every time we change our lives for the better and yet we don’t realize that until it’s too late. It’s how we overcome them that matters. We have more free range when it comes to indie publishing. We can put whatever we want in our books, publish them whenever we want and make them as long as we want them to be.

The original Night Of The Living Dead and Stephen King’s Salem’s Lot. They inspired me to write horror and although I haven’t done a vampire novel yet but the former inspired me to write my novel “Dead River”.  It depends upon what I’m writing.

Is there any music that helps you to write?

If I’m writing horror, I listen to a dark lo-fi hip-hop playlist. If I’m writing a crime noir, then its’s something like jazz noir or dark noir music.

Do you have any special projects you want readers to know about?

I’m writing the second book of a trilogy featuring two “supernaturalists” who investigate supernatural locations. I’ve written the outline of a body horror novella and I’m always writing short stories.

The 2021 StokerCon Horror Writing Convention

Merry meet all,

I’m writing this post to share my experience at StokerCon with my dear readers. It was the most inspiring, badass, and educational event of my life. It was so cool to sit there ( and I had to, as it was virtual and I seriously hurt my back) with other like minded people. The organizers, panelists and attendees were so nice! 

The event began on May 20th to May 23rd. The Horror Writers Association used Hopin for a virtual platform. Over four hundred and sixty people attended the convention. Hopin was a very interactive platform. There was a live chat which I just loved. Breakout sessions, live discussions, and the Ann Radcliffe conferences which was several live videos and discussions of themes related to horror were also offered. I watched almost every single Breakout session. There were so many to choose from.   Someone could pitch to an agent/ editor and participate in the Bram Stoker hangout bars or the Mary Shelley hangout bar, the Shirley Jackson hangout bar or the Edgar Allan Poe hangout bar. 

The Breakout sessions are discussions shared by panelists online. I was able to watch them in the discussion. Live chats made it easier to partake in the session. I watched the following sessions: The Current State of Publishing, A Genre by any other Name, Professional Etiquette: The Business Side of Publishing, The Appeal of a Good Scare, Tone and Setting, Thrilling Communities with Chilling Experiences, How Dialogue can Make or Break a story, the Guest of Honour Reading: Joe Lansdale, Totally Bloodless Horror Promotion, The Scary Truth about Horror reviews, Nightfire Fall Spotlight, How to Make a Career of Writing, Interview with Joe Lansdale, the Interview with Steve Tem, Mentorship in the HWA, What makes a book cover Good, History of the Gothic Horror Folklore, the Bram Stoker Awards Ceremony and the Sixth Annual Final Frame Short Horror Film Competition. But I loved the most the Breakout sessions!! I also viewed the American Female: Gothic, Classic Horror’s Timeless Appeal, the Panel on The Author-Editor relationship in The Horror Genre Author Newsletter as well as a few author readings. 

I also watched the Bathing Beauty: Violence and Vulnerability in the Showers of Horror, Blood Milk and Teeth, It’s Still Alive, Alive!, Real Vampires: The Reflection of Otherness in the lBloody Mirror, “That so wicked mouth”: Rabies, Nymphomania, and the Monstrous New Woman in Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Why is this Possession Different Than All Other Possessions: Jewish Exorcism Films. Those videos were fascinating. So many people let themselves believe that a dybbuk box is actually possessed by a demon or even that Annabelle doll. I don’t believe they are. The Possession video proved it. 

A few more highlights of the convention were the Film Competition and the Bram Stoker Awards. On Saturday night I watched the Final Frame 6th Annual Short Horror Film Competition. The videos were all scary and amazing! The sound and audio quality were amazing!! I voted for the best film I watched. 

The Horror Writers Association is proud to announce the winners of our Final Frame Film Festival that took place during our first virtual StokerCon.

The Final Frame Film Festival is chaired by Jonathan Lees, Final Frame Director and our Director of Film Programming, StokerCon.

This year our judges were ALEJANDRO BRUGUES, GRADY HENDRIX, BECK KITSIS, CARLEN MAY-MANN, LISA MORTON, and ED POLGARDY. 

The GRAND PRIZE goes to Tony Morales for Abracitos

1st Runner-Up to Brian Sacca for Joanne Is Dead

2nd Runner-Up is to Trish Harnetiaux for You Wouldn’t Understand

Best Writing in a Short Film is a tie!

and Trish Harnetiaux & Jacob A. Ware for You Wouldn’t Understand

Audience Award goes to Tony Morales for Abracitos

You can read more about Final Frame here:

Abracitos used almost no music. That made the fear of the actors in the movie far more real. In fact, the lack of sound was extremely effective at making the fear unbearable and real to viewers because all you could hear was their breathing. Wow. Amazing film. 

Here are the winners of the Bram Stoker Awards:

Previous winners include Stephen King, J.K. Rowling, George R. R. Martin, Joyce Carol Oates and Neil Gaiman. 

So, as you can see from the above, StokerCon was a smashing success!!! Four hundred eighty five people attended the virtual convention with a ninety percent turn out!! Two thousand eight hundred people have subscribed to the Horror Writers Association Quick Bites newsletter. The Bram Stoker Awards Ceremony had a grand total of twelve hundred views with over four hundred people who watched!! There were 18,000 views and chats during the whole convention. There were a total of one hundred forty votes for the Film Competition. These shy high statistics reveal a growing enthusiasm for horror in all its ravenous blood thirsty forms. Horror has not died! The beast is alive and well and tugging at its’ Damascus steel chains!

I hope this continues into the future, however horrifying that may be!!

Horror was never meant to be compartmentalized, confined, or stamped, shipped and packeged into one solid predefined shape. I now know that like the fanged vampire, a convulsing werewolf or mummy in shreds it changes form, breaks out of its cage and along iwth the changing times, it changes. It pulses and breathes, drinks blood and yet invites us along as it keeps changing with the times.

Blessings, Spiderwitch
