Please let me know any questions you have for these events, and let me know if you’ve read any of the books mentioned! This post will discuss the SGJ event, the IWG event, Women in Horror Month interviews, and recent books I have loved.
February 28 at 2:00, see one of my favorite contemporary horror writers at the Boise Barnes & Noble! This is an “In Conversation” event that I will be participating in with him. Link is to RSVP.
If you are already a fan, what questions should I ask him?
If you would like to learn more about the author, a wonderful intro would be one of his podcast appearances such as this recent episode of This is Horror.
Some favorite works of mine are Mapping the Interior, The Only Good Indians, and My Heart is a Chainsaw. His newest novel The Buffalo Hunter Hunter is my current read—it’s fantastic and a nominee for the current Bram Stoker Awards. He also has a nominated essay in the anthology Why I Love Horror: Essays on Horror Literature, edited by Becky Siegel Spratford.
Jones is also a professor and is currently working in the Stegner fellows program at Stanford, which you can hear more about on the podcast linked above!
Please let me know if you’re coming, and let me know any questions you have as a beginner, or any advice you would give as an experiences writer.
I have 4 interviews set up and might even sneak in a fifth, as I did last year. Please check out last year’s interviews in the meantime!
You can click on the title to go to each book’s Bookshop.org page:
My blurb: ““One does not often happen upon ‘such bleak and truthful tales’ as those in Straw World and Other Echoes from the Void. These stories are at times intimate and abject, other times epic, but always disquieting, lovingly rendered, stylized, and Ligotti-esque. I enjoyed the quaky jamais vu feeling brought on by this one-of-a-kind collection.”
My blurb:
“Rhiannon Rasmussen’s Maidens of Midnight and Other Lost Media is a gorgeously-written debut collection of short works that feel so expansive you could get lost in them. With a sophisticated, artistic, and at times experimental flair, Rasmussen reveals the lives of a variety of cerebral and rather lonely—but always fascinating—characters."
—Christi Nogle, author of the Bram Stoker Award winning first novel BEULAH
Still in the process of reading this one, but I think I would like to gift it to every person who has ever asked “Why horror?” in a snide way! Such thoughtful answers here.
Still in the process of reading this one, but it is compelling! I think anyone interested in horror or historical fiction would do well to pick it up.
That’s all for now! Thank you for reading!
