Glass Witch ★ Yawatta Hosby (Interview)

The dark, three story house loomed overhead as I stood in the property’s driveway. Droplets of water fell from above, threatening to undo the curls in my hair and the makeup on my face.

I propelled myself out of the rain and up the steps. The old wood creaked under my heels as I glided to the tall front door and unlocked the house.

Today was a huge day.

I couldn’t believe my good luck.

It was my very first interview for Wicked Shorts: a blog I hosted about speculative fiction, weird fiction and horror and the person I was interviewing was quickly becoming a personal hero of mine.

Yawatta Hosby was a strong, impeccably well written author of thriller and suspense novels. She was the real deal, and she’d be here in less than ten minutes.

Hi, and welcome back everyone. Today is post number three on a short blog series I'm doing that recommends short horror and weird fiction. So far, I've been having a blast. I've learned and read a lot. 

I have just recently started reading "Nightmare Fuel: The Ultimate Collection of Short Horror Tales" by Wesley Thomas. This book of nightmare fueled short stories boasts that it was "a bestseller in three categories for over 194 weeks"! That's really saying something, and I can see why.

The stories in Nightmare Fuel, are a little longer than the ones in the last 2 books I talked about: Darcy Coates' "Small Horrors" and "Bite Size Reads" by R.B. Frank, but that's okay by me because they are good.

Also, I have to give Wesley Thomas props for his awesome and terrifying cover. The cover alone serves as nightmare fuel for me personally.

Did you read this book? If so, did you like it? What other books belong in this list? Drop me a line in the comments section and let me know, I'd love to hear them!

Thanks for reading and until next time,

Avrin


P.S.

My short story the Philadelphia Hustler is now on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited! If you don't have Kindle Unlimited, it's only $0.99!

As I've said before, I find it very hard to find short story collections and anthologies that dedicate themselves to the weird, strange and bizarre. I really enjoy short, micro fiction and/or flash fiction with a twist. I decided to do a series post about these books and collections of  stories that I loved.

Don't get me wrong, I love to read novels, but sometimes, I just don't have the time, or I don't have the attention span.

My favorite place to go on a regular basis for the "I wanna be creeped out" fix, is Reddit's notorious r/NoSleep. There are some awesome authors on there and they always have new and interesting content. I also post my stories there sometimes as well. The community is a nice one and to make it even more fun, all authors will continue to remain in character in the comments section of their story.
