Happy Macabre Monday!
We have something a little different for you today. This Monday marks the first in our author interview series, where we dive into one work from a horror writer. We explore themes, discuss the horror genre, and dive into the inspiration and behind the scenes from the author. I hope you all enjoy this conversation as much as I loved having it.
(Don’t mind my maniacal delayed laughing. I have satellite internet.)
Join us for an in-depth conversation with S.E. Reid, author of Imp, and a talented horror and magical realism writer. We explore her creative process, the inspiration behind her stories, and her thoughts on horror tropes and the Pacific Northwest setting.
Imp
Today we interview S.E. Reid about her horror novella, Imp. If you would like to read the book, it is available for free on Kindle unlimited, or for purchase on Amazon. Ebook only.
“It’s not a ‘he’, it’s an it.
And I call it Imp.”
Cal Thornton is struggling. After the film adaptation of his bestselling horror novel failed at the box office, his career has been on life support for ages, and he desperately needs a change of scenery...and maybe even a miracle.
When his publisher sends him to Graft Creek Lodge for a silent creative retreat, Cal is skeptical at first. Even when he meets aging painter Richard Avalon, who swears up and down that there’s something special about Graft Creek. Something almost spiritual.
As the retreat commences and the silence settles, Cal begins to suspect that there is indeed something haunting the woods around Graft Creek Lodge.
