Interview with C.M. Forest

Christian Laforet, aka C.M. Forest, writes horror. He’s been writing horror for years now, and has a stack of books to his name. A local horror-writing hero, Christian organizes events and readings, is a master on social media, and he’s part of the organizing team for Canada’s only Dark/Horror Fiction Conventions – dReadcon – which has its second annual event this Saturday in Burlington.

In our conversation, we talk about the writing life, writing horror and what is specific to writing in this genre. We talk about influences and video games and movies. And more!

Christian is also one of my writing partners (poor guy). We write together at least once a week, and it’s a thrilling endeavour because Christian is sweet and funny, and wonderfully enthusiastic about writing – yet his brain concocts some of the grossest, scariest things I’ve ever read. We have fun. Oh yes.
