Withersin’s Damned Interview with:
Scott M. Sandridge
Depending on
who you ask, I’m either a Right Wing gun nut or a Left Wing loon. Both of which
are inaccurate. I actually prefer grenades instead of guns, and I’m quite
moderate in my lunacy. But despite the odd quirks—or because of them?—I’m a
writer. From fiction to nonfiction, humor to horror, and everywhere in between,
I write it. I just can’t write mainstream; it’s too hard.
I’m also the
Managing Editor of Fear and Trembling.
List some of your works (stories,
books, poems, songs, albums, movies, etc):
The most
recent have been
My podcast, A Work in
Progress

Silverblade Prophecy podcast novel

Business Arrangement” in Silver Blade

In your own words,
define Withersin.
Sadistic, but in a good way.
If you were a sideshow
act, what would you be?
I’d be a
quadriplegic hobbit with tentacled genitalia and buzzsaw teeth. I’d also have a hand cannon sticking out of
my navel and an auto grenade launcher attached to my shoulder.
Oh wait, a sideshow act…
Hmmm, a clown perhaps?
What is your greatest
non-literary influence?
Megadeth. They rock.
And everything they sing about is true, which is pretty scary when you think
about it.
Describe your most
irrational fear.
Fear of the
dark.
How about your most guilty pleasure?
Anime.
Name the most
disturbing nursery rhyme/fairy tale you can recall.
Ring Around The Roses. Especially when you know what the rhyme
originated from.
Do you eat meat?
Yeah. I just
don’t have enough willpower to become a vegetarian. Besides, some of us have to
help keep the population down….
What were the skies
like when you were young?
Blue and
clear of chemtrails.
Name your favorite
garden tool.
Whichever one
can make the bloodiest cuts.
Name your least
favorite color, first job and worst job.
Least
favorite color: brown, for obvious reasons.
First job:
packing Windows at a warehouse (sorry, guys and gals, for helping to foist the
biggest virus Bill Gates ever made until Windows Vista on y’all).
Worst job: It
used to be retail, but then I discovered fast food.
Favorite:
Author, Movie, Music Group, Song, and Quote.
Author: It’s a
toss-up among J. R. R. Tolkien, Stephen King, and
Edgar Allen Poe
Movie: Ultraviolet. Watching a horde of Nazis
getting slaughtered in a Moral Sciences library gives me warm fuzzy feelings.
Music Group: Other than Megadeth? Ummm, I love Lacuna
Coil. They rock, and Cristina Scabbia’s hot.
Song: Currently
“United Abominations” by Megadeth, “Uprising” by
Muse, and “Global Resistance” by DJ Chris Geo.
Quote: “Let it not
be said that we did nothing.”—Ron Paul
If you were a loaf of
bread what kind would you be?
French, with garlic. Yummy.
Weirdest news you have
read in your local newspaper:
Obama winning the
Nobel Peace Prize. For what? Dropping bombs
on
If you have a message
to the people of Earth, tell us what it is:
Long live the
Republic! We shall prevail! Death to the
Oh, and be
nice to each other.
And finally, a
question you can take anyway you like: But Why?
Why not?
Here’s
a photo titled, “INEDIBLE NOT INTENDED FOR HUMAN
You have 112 words.
Go.
MSG
fast food, sodium fluoridated water, and mercury-contaminated high fructose
corn syrup all mixed into a pasty sludge to be fed to political prisoners in Fema detention centers.
