To all who are reading this,
Today on this blog interview, I have the delight in welcoming back horror and erotica author, Carmilla Voiez. Carmilla had the honour of organising an anthology, titled Broken Mirrors, Fractured Minds, which is a collection of short stories, poetry and graphic art.
Carmilla has kindly joined me to discuss the anthology, which also features my short story, Heaven's Calling.

Hi Carmilla, welcome back! Your first anthology collection is Broken Mirrors, Fractured Minds. What led you to this decision to do an anthology for Vamptasy?
I wanted a home for my horror shorts. They all fitted around this theme of psychological horror, which is a subject that obsesses me. I had a choice of writing more short stories or gathering exciting tales from others. I chose the latter.
What is Broken Mirrors, Fractured Minds about? It certainly sounds interesting!
It's about the horrors in our minds. Stories vary in theme and cover a wide range of subjects including sexuality, body dysmorphia, miscarriage and spousal abuse.
The collection features short stories, poetry and art work. How hard was it to narrow down the decisions to the final collection?
It was very hard at times. I was delighted to have such a choice of stories and poems. Some of the ones I received really spoke volumes to me. In the end, those are the ones I included in the final collection.
What do you think is the appeal of anthologies and are they an important part of the market?
Reading short stories is fun. It's less pressure than tackling a full length novel and readers can return to their favourite shorts again and again. Anthologies are also a great way of discovering new favourite authors. The fact that this book is illustrated as well will make it a volume to be treasured.
Are you planning on generating another anthology?
Definitely! I've really enjoyed making this one!
Thank you for such a fantastic interview Carmilla!
