Author Interview: Jude S. Walko
Check out this review of The Unhallowed Horseman by Grimoire of Horror!
1. Paperback, hardback, audiobook?
For reading, I’m a paperback guy. I love the feel of the paper in my hand. The smell of older books. The crease every new set of fingerprints leaves on the pages, and any notes or inscriptions that show the history of who may have read it.
As far as publishing my book, ebook for convenience, paperback for the same reasons above, and hard cover for the collector. I’m al...

1. Paperback, hardback, audiobook?
All of them! I’m only picky when it comes to audiobook narrators.

Psychological horror! I can’t watch a lot of super scary stuff (I’m a jumper) but reading it is an entirely different experience.
3. What is the first book you remember reading?
Eric Carle’s The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
4. What book shaped your childhood most?
Redwall by Brian Jacques.

Show Review: Kin (2021)
Kin is a must-see crime drama on RTÉ.
I remember watching Love/Hate years back – with Robert Sheehan and Aidan Gillen. I really enjoyed the first couple of seasons, although I don’t believe I ever actually finished it. A very good show, though! But when I heard that Kin was similar in style to Love/Hate, this time with Charlie Cox and Emmett J. Scanlan and Aidan Gillen and Maria Doyle Kennedy, I knew I would like it. And I really, really did! Charlie Cox has been a favourite actor of min...

To read:
M: I read the ebooks, but I like having physical copies. I think paperbacks are nicer to have, because you can’t really destroy the spine as much.
V: Ebooks are cheap. I’d love to have physical copies, but … yeah, expensive. Someday, though! As for audiobooks, not really my thing either. When I listen to stuff, I sometimes tune out, and then ...

1. Paperback, hardback, audiobook?
To read, I like a paperback. Hardbacks are often too cumbersome to take around with you, and I can only listen to non-fiction as my mind tends to wander if I’m listening to a story!
2. Pick a genre, any genre!
It’s got to be crime. I write it, and it’s the genre I read the most.
3. What is the first book you remember reading?
The Hardy Boys …
4. What book shaped your childhood most?
… which I wi...

Author Interview: Brandon Applegate
1. Paperback, hardback, audiobook?
Mostly paperback. I like the flexibility of being able to bend it, shove it into spaces, etc. Most of my paperbacks look like they’ve been through a war, haha. These days, though, ebooks are more convenient because I can read in bed while my wife sleeps without turning on the lights.
2. Pick a genre, any genre!
Horror! I have to make myself read outside of the horror genre. It’s always been that way for me.
