Withersin’s Damned Interview with:
JG Faherty
I began writing horror/dark
fiction in 2003. My fiction and poetry has appeared in numerous anthologies,
magazines, and e-zines, and my children’s fiction has
been published in educational books and online by The Princeton Review and
other educational companies. I’ve had a varied career, which provides a rich
background for my writing (hopefully!).
Currently I own and operate a resume preparation company (www.a-perfect-resume.com);
some of my previous jobs have included laboratory manager, R&D scientist,
accident scene photographer, zoo keeper, salesman, and anatomy instructor.
A life-long fan of horror and dark
fiction, I reading and watching horror and science fiction, golfing and hiking
with my wife, volunteering as an exotic animal caretaker, and playing the
guitar. My favorite holiday is Halloween, and as a child, one of my local
‘playgrounds’ was an 18th century cemetery.
List published works:
My most recent are:
‘The Toll’
‘Hybrids’ (coming later this
summer)
‘Bones’
Cemetery Dance #58
‘Windows to the Soul’
Bound for Evil
‘Family First’

Oddly,
I was never disturbed or scared by any of them, and it wasn’t until I was a

etc. running through so many of them. I just thought they were either funny or
