A couple of days ago, I interviewed author Matt Betts and discussed his writing, the horror genre, how he got started, his love of mashing genres, plots, characters and everything else he can get his hands on. Matt has worked hard from the ground up for his success while always keeping his amazing creativity flowing. Check out the interview below and then jump over to mattbetts.com/projects/ to dive into his extremely unique style of horror, sci-fi, and entertainment. So my first question just to get to know where you’re coming from is what is on your shelf? What do you like to read? M – You know, for reading I read a lot of horror and sci-fi, but one of my favorite authors is completely out of the genre. Elmore Leonard and his crime stories. The way he puts things together, his dialogue and the way he treats his characters. There’s actually a book I wrote that is kind of

I sat down with Glenn Herdling to talk comics and to discuss the first two novels of his ‘Piper’ Series. During our conversation, he also told me about his days as a Marvel Editor and a comic book writer. He took us inside the first novel, ‘Piper Houdini: Apprentice of Coney Island’, and revealed how the character was born and teased where the second book, ‘Piper Houdini: Nightmare on Esopus Island’, will take readers. Horror Fuel: “So, comics, huh?” Glenn Herdling: “Yeah, comics. I have some experiences with writing some horror things for Marvel in my time there including one of the long forgotten characters, Simon Garth, the original Marvel Zombie. I brought him into the fold. He isn’t really a toxic zombie, more of a Voodoo zombie type. That’s what I have in the Piper Houdini novel, Voodoo zombies.” Horror Fuel: “I’m a big fan of Voodoo zombies.” Glenn Herdling: “Yeah, they are a lot of fun. They bring

Actor-author-screenwriter-director Greg Lamberson took a few minutes to fill us in on not only some of his past projects, but his upcoming film Johnny Gruesome which will be out later this year. Starring Anthony De La Torre, Byron Brown II, Aprilann, and Michael DeLorenzo, Johnny Gruesome is a tale of murder, revenge, and the undead, based on Lamberson’s award-winning novel. Horror Fuel: “What role did you play in I Was A Teenage Zombie? I saw the trailer and I’m going to have to find a copy.” Lamberson: “I was the production manager and I also played the role of the nerd who tries to score some weed from the zombie drug dealer right before the big high school dance. It is sort of a long history of how I became involved with that. I moved to New York City from a small town and at my very first job I met a gal who had worked in a slasher film

I’m doing something a bit different this week. Rather than posting a book review, I’m sharing an interview I had the opportunity to do for Gores Truly with author John L. Davis of the American Revenant series. He agreed to chat with me regarding the American Revenant series, and offered to give us some insight into himself, his process, and what we can expect from this shining new author in the future. If you are unfamiliar with Davis’ work, you can find a review of his debut novel American Revenant: Hometown Exodus. The series is set in Hannibal, MO and features a community of people who band together to survive a zombie apocalypse. It is honestly one of the best zombie series’ I’ve had the pleasure of reading in a long time, and I would encourage you to check it out if you haven’t. American Revenant: Hometown Exodus and American Revenant: Settlers and Sorrow are both available for Kindle download.
