Does the Horror Genre Work When It’s Not a Movie?

When most people think of horror, they think of packed cinemas, lights out, tense music, and the occasional jump scare. Some immediately think of possessed dolls or haunted houses, while others think of fast-moving zombies or an alien invasion. The horror genre is one of the most widespread and can be further segmented into subgenres that have their own dedicated audiences. But what about when we remove the films and look to other media that fit into the genre? Does horror work when it’s not a movie?

Master of horror, Stephen King, helped popularize the genre for

Interview with Author, Illustrator, Award Nominee, Greg Chapman

After reviewing both Bleak Precision and The Sublime Darkness, I thought it was definitely time to interview Greg Chapman. Let me tell you, this guy is not only a great author and fantastic illustrator, but he is out there working hard to push writing and horror into the limelight! He has an impressive and extremely diverse catalogue and I was very happy that he agreed to answer some questions about how his horror-filled mind works. (Horror Fuel) You have such a variety of work and a large collection of that work. Novels, novellas, short stories, graphic novels, do you approach the different styles differently? What do you get from each style? (Greg Chapman) Great question Greg. I approach everything I write differently each time. Short stories (which ironically, I find the most challenging), tend to come to me at the most unforeseen moments and I usually write a short story when I an image or scenario or even a word
