I think Withersin will be the best of
atmospheric horror.

would you be?
Strongman.
I was always getting beat-up as a kid.
What is your greatest non-literary
influence?
M. Night Shyamalan.
Describe your most irrational

package…nothing left to do but meet God (or Someone Else).

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

I didn’t really look up much; I was too
busy playing Nintendo.

Petsmart, aquatics. Same.

November Rain, “I have nothing to say.”
If you were a loaf of bread what
kind would you be?
Wonderbread.
Weirdest news you have read in
your local newspaper:
Local
author, Rob Heinze, managed to publish—not one!—but two stories! That would be
weird, indeed. I wouldn’t believe it.
Why horror?
I think scaring people without grossing them
out is the single most difficult thing to do with prose.
