I love to watch, read, write and illustrate everything horror-related – so that must make me mentally disturbed right? According to this ridiculous article yes, I must be. Right now, my front yard is all decked out for Halloween.

Write whatever the hell you want
Maybe I’ve limited myself to only writing horror? But honestly, I’ll write whatever the hell I want. My most recent novel Hollow House was a twist on the haunted house tale, but the story was also about how we are a society of apathy; how we really couldn’t care less about our neighbours. The novel I’mContinue reading “Write whatever the hell you want”

Author Interview: Monique Snyman
Today, I’m speaking with fellow Omnium Gatherum scribe, Monique Snyman, from Pretoria, South Africa about her new novel, Muti Nation. Muti Nation: What inspired this cool-sounding story?
