Biography
I'm a horror writer. It happened by accident (or did it?). I wrote a story and it just wasn't working. It bored me to read. It wasn't fun to write.The characters were trite. So I killed them all. They vomited blood and fell with every keystroke. My mind reeled--all the monsters I could unleash, the trees I could deck with garlands of entrails--I was a horror writer!
It made sense. My favourite authors were the proof. Of course I love Steinbeck and W.O.Mitchell. I'm a farm girl at heart. But Stephen King, Dan Simmons, Clive Barker ... I rush to the bookstore whenever they have something new. Add Shirley Jackson, Ray Bradbury, Edgar Allen Poe, Ramsey Campbell, Robert McCammon, H. P. Lovecraft to the list and you start to wonder why I hadn't figured it out earlier.
In high school my poetry was dark. Full of corpses and bones and moon-washed barren landscapes that reflected the wasteland of my soul (I bring those poems out now and again for a laugh). I wrote short stories. Beach runner eaten by the night, girl in psychiatric hospital talks with imaginary lover (I had a huge crush on a character in a novel at the time), person in doorless prison (I was thirteen and didn't know this was cliche)--they were all horror.
I'm a horror writer. Boy is it fun.
