It is protean, it is different from one person to another. But as for your question, I think it’s because horror is… a little bit alive for me, a little bit of its own thing, something that lives under the dark of your skin. I think I’m just too stubborn to ever stop trying to get my weird little stories published. I don’t know about being successful in the field. What is it about horror that makes your prose take on a life and spirit of its own?Ĭassandra Khaw: Oh, geez. While Disconnect reads as pure Grade-A science fiction, What the Highway Prefers strikes out into the dark and nasty world of horror with an unyielding voice and original talent that foreshadowed your current success in the field. We discussed their influences, Nothing But Blackened Teeth, and horror, of course:Īigner Loren Wilson: Disconnect(Motherboard, 2014) and What the Highway Prefers (Lackington’s, 2015) are two of your first published pieces. With two books slated for release later in 2021, I was really grateful that they had a moment to chat. Their fiction has appeared in Uncanny Magazine, Lightspeed, Tor.com, and more, they have a forthcoming novella from Nightfire ( Nothing But Blackened Teeth) later this year, and their previou work has earned them a place as a finalist for The Locus and British Fantasy Awards awards. With a body of work that includes poetry, games, and stories, Cassandra Khaw spins out dark tales that capture their readers from the moment you step into their stories.
