Author Dom Stasi On Being “Inside The Box”
Author Dom Stasi I’ve been a junkie for aviation-based literature almost from the time I’d first learned to read. Through the years I would devour the works of such visionaries as Antione de Saint-Exupery, Beryl Markham, Anne Morrow Lindberg, and Ernest K. Gann. Their words never failed to keep me up nights as their intrepid, hero-pilots—real and imagined—rose from the pages to struggle alone (always alone it seemed) against whatever mankind … [Read more...]

MJ Preston On How Researching True Crime Inspired The Highwayman: Part 1
Author MJ Preston PART I – THE MONSTERS WHO WALK AMONG US I have always had an interest in true-crime and the enigma of serial murder. In writing, I often find myself drawn to the serial killer as the definitive monster. Mostly, because they’re real, which makes them more terrifying than DRACULA or the zombies of THE WALKING DEAD. The difference is, that those creatures aren’t real. They can be explained away by a parent’s soothing words or … [Read more...]

Lawrence Davis Discusses His PTSD And How It Shaped “The Stalker” In His Novels
Find out more about BLUNT FORCE MAGIC here. The second novel in his series, DESTRUCTION OF JUSTICE, is now available! Warning: this could have some quasi-spoilers. The Stalker was, to me, a physical embodiment of PTSD. You see, this actually started as a project in therapy, and it’s also the thing that made me pay closer attention to my subconscious. The first variation of the book was a short story about somebody very tired, and beat down, … [Read more...]
Author Mark Anzalone On Why We Enjoy Horror
Why do we enjoy horror? This question has been batted around for quite some time, primarily due to the inhered irony of enjoying things that should, if they were real, terrify us. So, as a newly published author of horror, I thought I’d take my turn at bat. Something I should get right out of the way is that—like most people, I’d wager—I don’t read horror stories because they might frighten me. I read them because they fascinate me. The … [Read more...]
