Greetings darklings:
Welcome my dear readers, to another interview with a fellow horror author. Today we curl up with our coffees and hot chocolate to learn more about Thomas Stewart.
Why horror? Do you have a favorite subgenre in horror?
Because horror, for me, is more than a simple umbrella subgenre. Horror is an artform. Horror is the expression of oneself, one that encapsulates every emotion on the spectrum, from joy, to sadness, to fear, and triumph.
Which other horror authors influenced you the most and why?
I consider my muse to be Clive Barker, but aside from him, there’s of course, Stephen King, H.P. Lovecraft, Edgar Allan Poe, Harlan Ellison, and lately, Aron Beauregard.
Tell me about your writing/ editing process
I write no less than 1,000 words per day as a disciplinary principal. It’s how I’m able to keep writing and releasing so many new stories at once, but how I keep my skills fresh.
What inspires you to write horror?
Mainly the disturbed nature of my own mind, always drawn to the darker, more twisted things in life.
What do you love about indie publishing?
I love that I’m not bound to any sort of guidelines or “Rules” that mean absolutely nothing at all to the minds of readers or the art of horror.
Which is your favorite horror movie or book? Which movie or book impressed and inspired you the most?
The Exorcist is both my favorite horror novel and film. The one that’s influenced me the most, I want to say, may be Dracula.
Is there any music that helps you to write?
Sometimes. It depends mainly on the nature of the actual story being written as to what the music playlist is. For example, the novel I’m working on now, my darkest one yet, bar none, is being written alongside DSBM music (Depressive Suicidal Black Metal). Sometimes, the music is merely ambiences, used to set the tone in my mind.
Do you have any special projects you want readers to know about?
As mentioned before, I’m currently working on my darkest extreme horror novel to date, I’m going to be releasing at the top of next year the sequel to one of my most infamous works, “Finding Pig Man”, and this month, I’m releasing a co-authored tome with my friend, author Post-Mortem, “Brothers In Blood Vol. 1”
