It's October (and my favorite time of year), which means one thing... horror author interviews! I've followed author Ally Malinenko on Twitter for quite some time. Imagine my excitement when I asked to interview her as part of my horror author series and she agreed. Ally writes a number of things, like poetry and middle grade horror. She's a force to be reckoned with, so let's dive in! Thank you so much for joining me, Ally! What kind of books do you like to write or haven you written? I started our writing fantasy and science fiction for middle gra[...]

Author Interview
0 Autumn brings some of my favorite things...foggy streets in the early hours of the morning, spooky decor, and a chill to the air to remind you that soon, everything will be reborn. It also brings some of my favorite things in the world...horror author interviews! I've talked to and heard about Leanna Renee Hieber's books for a while now. I was hoping she would be a guest on the blog and I was delighted when she agreed. She's not just an author, she's also an actress and a playwright. And honestly, I'm not sure if there's anything she can't do! As of October 201[...]
I'll be honest with you, I about lost my mind when I heard about Rules for Vanishing by Katie Alice Marshall. Not only does it sound like my dream book, but Penguin Random House was kind enough to send me an early copy of the book. Let me tell you, it's even BETTER than I could have hoped for. I shared a special unboxing on my Instagram page, which you can spy there on my posts and on my story highlights. What can I say? Any book listed to be in the same vein as The Blair Witch Project is exactly what we need, even if we don't deserve it. Here's a preview: Are yo[...]
The Davis Girl (TDG): Everyone, I am joined via Google Hangouts by fellow snack-loving, D&D playing, Dungeon Master himself, author Tom Torre. Welcome Tom! TOM TORRE (TT): Pleasure to be chatting with ya! TDG: Fun fact, I might have screamed when I saw your tweet about "Dungeons And Drafting" but what in the world *is* it and why does it sound so amazing? TT: Dungeons and Drafting is this bizarre concept I had been dabbling with for the last few years that has finally come to life! It's basically taking four awesome authors, throwing them together[...]
The Davis Girl (TDG): I am joined today via Google Hangouts by illustrator Shannon Stamey. He draws things. Welcome Shannon. Shannon Stamey (SS): Thanks for having me! TDG: You draw some pretty awesome things, Shannon. SS: Thanks! Sometimes I draw total crap. TDG: What do you do with the crap drawings? SS: There's a furnace in the basement of my apartment building. TDG: Oooooooh. SS: Other times, I keep them to remind myself where I've screwed up. TDG: I like to burn things, too. SS: I usually just throw them away. TDG: What is the the last thing[...]
The Davis Girl (TDG): Are you ready to be interviewed, Brian C. Baer? Brian C. Baer (BCB): Let's do this! TDG: Ok…here we go. Hello Midnight Society Readers!

Hello, Darlings!! I am SO thrilled to have our very own Horror Twins, Brian LeTendre and Jolene Haley, on the blog today! They graciously let me feast on their brains about their books, both past and upcoming. So I'll stop boring you and just hop right in! How did you two start writing together in the first place? Brian: I was lucky enough to participate in a few of the Pen & Muse writing showcases (Dark Carnival and Haunt), and I was a big fan of Jolene's because she's such a positive force in the writing community. I asked her to be a gu[...]
Hello Kittens! I have quite the treat for you. As you know, my Midnight Society pals and I ingest horror in a multitude of different ways. We read it, we write it, we play it, listen to it, draw it, design it, and we watch it. We watch a lot of it. Which is why I'm so, SO excited that Christian Ackerman is joining us on the blog today. You may know him from his newest release, RESTORATION, which he acted as both associate producer AND a medic. I could spend the next few paragraphs telling you all about Christian, or I could let the interview b[...]
