Withersin’s Damned Interview with:

B.L.Morgan

I was born in the Midwest, live in the Northwest and have a mentality straight out of the Old West.

My fiction is fast-paced, harsh and brutal. If you life action on top of action then you’ll like what I do. I always do warn people: If you have a heart condition what I write may be hazardous to your health.

List published works:

Currently the Urban Horror novel Blood And Rain is available from www.StoneGarden.net Publishing. Blood For The Masses and Blood On Celluloid is also coming out this year. All of them are John Dark Shockers.

List website: John Dark’s World http://johndark1985.googlepages.com/home

It’s a very basic website but it does cover what is happening with my writing career.

In your own words, define Withersin:

Withersin is an excellent resource for people who want Untamed Entertainment.

If you were a sideshow act, what would you be?

I would either be doing The High Wire Balancing Act or Swinging on The Trapeze without a net below me.

What is your greatest non-literary influence?

Hard-core, hard edged action movie heroes like Dirty Harry.

Describe your most irrational fear.

Being totally helpless, like being paralyzed from the neck down.

How about your most guilty pleasure?

I like all combat sports. I also want world peace. Figure that one out???

Name the most disturbing nursery rhyme/fairy tale you can recall.

There’s a version of Little Red Riding Hood that’s named Little Red Cap. It’s downright gruesome. Check it out sometime.

Do you eat meat?

Yes, and as I am grinding the flesh from all those little creatures between my molars I do feel really bad for them. It’s sad that they taste so good.

What were the skies like when you were young?

All kinds of skies.

The summers around St. Louis were hot. We cooked. The skies were bright and sunny.

The winters around St. Louis were cold. We froze. Usually the skies were grey or dumping snow on us.

All kinds of skies.

Name your favorite garden tool.

I don’t garden but if I did it would be a shovel, so that I could bury my problems.

Name your least favorite color, first job and worst job.

Least favorite color would be gray. There’s really no color there.

First job was as a busboy/dishwasher at IHOP. It wasn’t too bad, just a job.

Worst job was as an insurance salesman. They wanted me to lie about what the insurance would cover. I told them where they could shove their policies.

Favorite:  Author, Movie, Music Group, Song, and Quote.

Favorite author has developed into Richard Laymon. But I really do like Brian Keene, Edward Lee, Joe R. Lansdale, Lee Pletzers, Melinda Rucker Haynes, Jenifer Caress, Jason Gehlert and a whole lot of other writers.

Favorite movie: In horror it would be The Evil Dead. That’s the most intense movie of all time. Other genres: Pirates of the Caribbean. That on was just all out fun.

Favorite Music Group: A lot of them. Nazareth, Thin Lizzy, Elton John, early Genesis, Jethro Tull, and others.

Favorite song: a lot of them. Nazareth’s No Mean City, Thin Lizzy’s Cowboy Song, Elton John’s All The Girls Love Alice, Genesis’ Blood On The Rooftops, Jethro Tull’s A Time For Everything and many others.

Favorite Quote: From Scanners, “I’m gonna suck your brain dry.”

If you were a loaf of bread what kind would you be?

Honey Oat. That’s the kind I get at Subway.

Weirdest news you have read in your local newspaper:

There was some guy who was running naked down the highway into oncoming traffic a few weeks ago. What the hell was he thinking???

Why horror?

I like a real good rollercoaster ride. Horror gives more thrills in more different ways than any other genre.

Here's a photo. (seen on Interview main page)

“INEDIBLE NOT INTENDED FOR HUMAN FOOD”

You have 112 words. Go.

Cling-Ons From Uranus

“Don’t get too close or they’ll know we’re back here. We got to follow them to where they eat. This is the one that was sent to set up Earth for domination by Cling-Ons from Uranus.”

“He ain’t no different from any of them other balls of shit we flushed away.”

“We know that, but he don’t and that’s what makes him dangerous. Take a look at the intelligence report and maybe you’ll know why.”

Jeb opened an envelope that sat between them.

He started reading, after ten seconds he whistled. “George Bush. Dam!

“Yeah, that’s right. George Bush is the head Cling-On from Uranus.”
