Withersin's
Damned Interview with:
Edward Morris
I just turned thirty-one (told everyone twenty-one, not like it did
any good.) I've managed to turn a human-pinball life into a reasonably
stable existence in Portland, Oregon, working in the healthcare
industry and getting published all over the map in my spare time. My
Muse Serena and I run a combination art studio, electric bike showroom
and home for broken animals, in between her going to school and me
trying to flood as many markets as possible.
List published works:
Blood of Eden, first novel in the Stolen Child [tent.] trilogy, will
be published by Samhain Press, Summer 2007
Deep Down Trauma Hounds, first novella, up now on Amazon Shorts (amazon.com)
Journey to the Center of the Earth, second novella, due for release in
Interzone #209
(25th Anniversary Issue, special cover mount edition)

In your own words, define Withersin.
The first line of defense in modern horror.
If you were a

A fire-eater. I've attempted it already, usually with Everclear, a
Zippo and at least three people yelling, "No! Stop!"

GWAR.
Describe your most
irrational fear.
Douglas Adams put it better than anyone:"That I'm a fraud and I will
eventually be found out."
How about your most
guilty pleasure?
Fruit pies from Safeway. No, wait, old Christian Death footage. No,
wait, PBR. No, wait...(really, we'll be here all night...)
Name the most
disturbing nursery rhyme/fairy tale you can recall.
The original Grimm Bros. Cinderella, where the Wicked
Stepsisters got
some D-block style revenge. LOVED that one.
Do you eat meat?
Only to excess.
What were the skies
like when you were young?
They went on forever, and there were little puffy... Hey, is this a
trick question?

The sickle. (See also:"The Cat Inside", due out in Coyote Wild two

favorite color, first job and worst job.
Pink, caretaker, bike shop slave.

If you were a loaf
of bread what kind would you be?
Marble rye, baby.
Weirdest news you have read in your local newspaper:
Meth addict shoots nail gun through head and lives.
Why horror?
Because 'Dear, God, No' was already taken.
