I met Dylan J. Morgan the same way I meet a lot of my author friends these days: through Twitter. Dylan is a Kiwi who was raised in the U.K. and now lives in Norway; a prolific indie horror author - he has nine books out, including his newest, Flesh, which he just released on January 11th - who's supportive of other indie authors; and an all-around nice person.
Thus, it is my pleasure today to bring you the following interview, wherein Dylan reveals where his story ideas come from, why he self-publishes, and how he markets his work, among other deep, dark secrets. (Okay, maybe not so deep or dark, but he's a horror author. I'm trying to create a mood here, people.)
*Ahem* The interview. *Spooky noises in the dark*
What possesses you to write horror?
I write horror because it’s an exciting genre and one that encompasses all others. I feel it’s the only genre where you can get away with including horror (obviously), mystery, thriller elements, science fiction (to a point), romance, and erotica. It’s easy to add humor to horror—the genre is so versatile, and even though I classify myself a horror writer I don’t feel my stories are limited by any boundaries.
