In your own words, define
Withersin.
I’m
going to be completely technical in my answer. It might sound stupid but this
is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of you. Wither…like to fade
away to shrivel and die and sin…committing sin. Your souls have withered from
sin. According to Dante’s Inferno test, I’m doomed to Level 5 –
If you were a sideshow act,
what would you be?
Bah…sideshows
bore me. I’d like to walk the tightrope.
What is your greatest
non-literary influence?
Storms, old and ruined castles and cemeteries.
Describe your most
irrational fear.
That
JAWS is waiting for me in the ocean.
How about your
most guilty pleasure?
Chocolate ice cream with huge chunks of peanut butter in
it.
Name the most disturbing
nursery rhyme/fairy tale you can recall.
None
of them bothered me, but I find nurseries in general, creepy.
Do you eat meat?
Carnivore all the way. I tried to be a veggie but I hate beans so no can do.
What were the skies like
when you were young?
Dark, roiling and threatening…just as I like them to be all
the time.
Name your favorite garden
tool.
Small
shovel
Name your least favorite
color, first job and worst job.
Beige…that
color needs to be obliterated. Teaching baton was my first job and worst job… pick
just one???
Favorite: Author,
Movie, Music Group, Song, and Quote.
Author…
me of course! But if I had to choose someone other than me, I’d choose Sherrilyn Kenyon. But that sounds biased I know because I
actually know her. I am also very fond of Angela Ashe. Her works are fabulous.
Movie:
The original Dawn of The Dead or Matilda. Yeah, I’m all over the place.
Music
group: The Eternal Fall or Funeral Dusk. I also like Der
Verbantenn (I can never spell it right) Eva’s Kinder,
as well as Neo Classical and dark ambient music.
Song:
Wildfire, Rocky Mountain High, Love Song For A
Vampire, Save a Prayer. My music tastes are all over the place.
Quote:
There never was night that had no morn…
If you were a loaf of bread
what kind would you be?
Potato
Weirdest news you have read
in your local newspaper:
If
you knew my local paper, all of it seems weird in my view.
Why horror?
It’s
as natural to me as breathing. I have always had a penchant for the dark, the
morbid and the strange. Yet to look at me, you’d never know. I am one of those
people that can walk the streets and people may or may not recognize me because
I don’t look like “how I write” and I am constantly changing my hair.
Here's a photo. (seen on Interview main
page)
“INEDIBLE NOT INTENDED FOR HUMAN FOOD”
You have 112 words. Go.
Thank
goodness because metal doesn’t taste good. Oh and I have to ask…have they had a
real problem with this that they actually needed to put that warning on the
truck? Is there a metal monster somewhere that we’ve never heard of?
