Withersin’s Damned Interview with:

 

Michael Lohr

I am a professional journalist, outdoorsman, musician, music critic, treasure hunter and adventurer.

Somehow I became famous for my whiskey and barbecued ribs recipe called “Dale Earnhardt's NASCAR Jesus Fire Water Surprise”.

 

(List published works)

Too many to count! I have freelanced for such diverse magazines as Rolling Stone, Esquire, The Economist, Cowboys & Indians, Southern Living, Sporting News and Men’s Journal, to name a few. I write full-time for many genre magazines including Renaissance Magazine, Mysteries Magazine, Brutarian Quarterly, Dark Wisdom, Withersin, Internet Review of Science Fiction, The New York Review of Science Fiction, City Slab, Cemetery Dance, Dark Discoveries and the complete Delos Publications line in Italy. I also do interviews for Slice of SciFi. I could go on for days. Just check my website for complete details.

Do you eat meat?

Hell yes, and I am unapologetic about it. I love brisket, steak and ribs the most. Where’s those damn alligator boots at?

 

What were the skies like when you were young?

I don’t do Pink Floyd songs. Have you ever seen someone whose face looked like they stuck their head in a bag of wildcats?

Weirdest news you have read in your local newspaper:

Physics Professor caught masturbating to female student’s shoes in Campus Chapel.

 

Why horror?

Why not? I love genre fiction and it just so happens that Horror is considered one of those.

 

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

“INEDIBLE NOT INTENDED FOR HUMAN FOOD”

You have 112 words. Go.

I’d say it has to do with the number 47, the Silver Raven Society of Wassamassis, Massachusetts and Wally “gimme shelter” Knockernuts and his $3 bottle of Romanian vodka. Oh, and Mick Jagger probably had something to do with it too.

 

Last Words?

Watch Squidbillies on the Cartoon Network! Billy Joe Shaver needs the liquor money.
