Mike, what is a gorelet?
Michael A. Arnzen
Great question! Basically, a "gorelet" is a term I made up for tiny horror poems that were no longer than 11 lines, 7 words max each. Those numbers are arbitrary, but they used to be the maximum I could fit on the PDA devices I used to write them on, when I first started experimenting with horror poetry writing on a Palm Pilot as a digital literary toy. Now they're virtually their own subgenre, with The Gorelets Omnibus out in print and the ongoing website at http://gorelets.com
Little known fact: Gorelets is also a town in Belarus. I should go on excursion someday to do...something...there.
Thanks for the question, Heidi! -- Mike Arnzen

Hi Dr. Arnzen! I don't have a question for you but I do have a book recommendation you might like. It's called 'Crevasse' by Clay Vermulm. It seems perfect for you since you love all things creepy and bloody :) Hope you are doing well?(sorry had to include a question mark to get this to post) Ashley

Recently there's been an increase in female-centric, women-directed horror films (many receiving industry, audience, & critical acclaim). Since horror is often viewed as a "masculine" genre (esp. in terms of target audience) and has been accused of deeply misogynistic tropes, do you feel the increased deployment of the "female gaze" might change and maybe even revive the horror industry?
