As part of an ongoing series of interviews with contributors to the 2nd Spectral Book of Horror Stories, Angela Slatter has fired several horror-related questions my way.

Aurealis Weekend: In which Awards were won!
You’d think, as a writer, I’d have a full stock of words upon which to draw at any given moment. Phrases prepared for, you know, speaking to other word-based life forms. Quips and witticisms locked and loaded, ready for quick-shot commentary. Words are my business. I’ve spent years thinking about them, reading them, turning them…… Continue reading Aurealis Weekend: In which Awards were won!

How to explain that a really rather nasty story sprang from watching a really adorable documentary? Angela loves badgers. Angela thinks they’re adorable.

The Female Factory: ‘Vox’
When Alisa approached us about doing one of the Twelve Planets, we readily agreed. Then, having sprung her trap, she added “But make it more science fictiony.” Cue Mo Szyslak from The Simpsons … “Whaaaaaa?” Undeterred, and a little heavy of heart, we two dark fantasy and horror girls trundled away dragging our feet. We…… Continue reading The Female Factory: ‘Vox’
Blood Sisters and Honourable Mentions
Bits and bobs of exciting news: I’m so delighted that Paula Guran has chosen to reprint my story, ‘From the Teeth of Strange Children’, in her forthcoming anthology, Blood Sisters: Vampire Stories by Women.
