Historian of Horror: #MarkOrr OMG! Emz forgot! Bad Emz! We’ll have 2 next episode! (Sorry Mark x.x)
Interview with Creator and Horror Hostess of HorrorAddicts.net, Emerian Rich.
Interviewed by Kate Nox, Blog Editor
Nox: Emz, the new podcast season is about to begin. On April 24th we can all tune in and hear the show. I imagine this is an exciting time for you?
Emz: Exciting and busy. The staff and I are all working hard to collect information and create new content for the listeners.
Nox: And how many seasons have you been doing this?
Emz: This will be our 16th season.
Nox: Share with us the theme for this season and some of the reasons it was chosen
Emz: We wanted to really highlight POC voices this year, so we made a call to share with us horror in cultures from around the world. We’ve got some really great authors involved and we’ll be covering horror from all different countries. We made it a goal to populate our bookings with 50-75% POC voices and we ended up surpassing that with over 79%.
Nox: Can you let us in on any of the exciting items the season holds for our listeners?
Emz: We have three anthologies to highlight. SLAY from Mocha Memoirs Press, Haunts and Hellions coming out in May from HorrorAddicts.net Press, and ON TIME from Transmundane Press. We’ll have readings from the authors of those books. We’ll also be hosting a Wicked Women Writer’s All-Star competition for our 200th episode, so the listeners will get to hear from the winners of our contests over the years.
Nox: I’ve heard rumors you have new theme music this year?
Emz: Yes! Our favorite band, Valentine Wolfe, has returned to theme our show with their song, “I Felt a Funeral”
Nox: What will the audio drama be this year?
Emz: The Deadbringer, an audio dramatization of E.M. Markoff’s novel. It’s sure to be exciting!
Nox: Remind our listeners when they’ll be able to tune in for the first episode.
Emz: The first episode premieres April 24th and we’ll start with the black vampire theme. Authors from Mocha Memoirs’ SLAY will be reading their work for us. A full list of themes and guests can be found at: HorrorAddicts.net and you can also listen on all the podcasty things including iTunes, I❤Radio, Stitcher, and more. I can’t wait to talk to my addicts again!

In these uncertain times, it’s important to know what NOT to do to keep yourself safe. But we aren’t talking about hand sanitizer, face masks, and bleach. We aren’t even talking about the virus. We’re talking about the very real danger of being CURSED.
For the past two seasons (13 and 14) we’ve been telling you all about cursed objects and places, how they got cursed, and what’s happened to people who’ve crossed their paths. Season 15 will bring you cautionary tales of those who have fallen prey to the curse and how NOT to become one of them.
Each episode, we’ll be talking about ways you can protect yourself against curses such as:
*Don’t be a boasting jerk. Learn about the dude who just couldn’t win gracefully and carried his rivals head around to boast about it. The curse got him in the end.
*Don’t board a boat with Violet. Learn about the woman who survived three boat sinkings and the hundreds that died in her place.
*Leave well enough alone. Learn about the dude who missed being shot, but was shot by the same bullet while attempting to remove it from a tree.
Learn these warnings and more during the 13-episode Season 15, coming in April 2020.

I was voted Best In Blood for the fourth season of Horror Addicts and it was and remains a huge honor. As an author that has been working at this for a very long time with not a lot of notice it was great to get that recognition and boost and I cannot thank Horror Addicts enough for that opportunity, which lead to me contributing to two of their book releases as well.
Huge honors that I remain grateful for.

HorrorAddicts.net kickstarted my writing career with its Next Great Horror Writer Competition, which earned me a novel contract with Crystal Lake Publishing. I’ll forever be in its debt!

I’m honored to be a part of the 10 year anniversary celebration! It’s been a few years since I’ve been a part of the HorrorAddicts team. But I will never forget my time as the Blog Editor and Interviewer. Emz is so kind and patient, she put a lot of faith into a high school student to hold such an important role. I enjoyed every minute of it and learned so much from her.
The 13 Questions interview series was an amazing experience. As a naturally curious person, I loved getting to talk to the various authors, musicians, and movie producers about their projects. The HA community is full of wonderful and inspiring personalities, it is no surprise that I am a Horror Addict for life!

1.) How old were you when you first became interested in horror?
I was always an avid reader. By the fifth grade, so around age 11, my father bought boxes of paperbacks at garage sales and I’d start at one end and read my way through. Horror was always an element in those boxes and, of course, the most popular authors were the ones I saw most frequently. I recall reading Dean R Koontz’s Watchers and being blown away. I was also impressed by what Stephen King was able to accomplish with The Long Walk.
2.) What is your favorite kind of horror? (i.e. Classic, Splatterpunk, Slasher, Gothic, etc.)
I love an element of science-fiction to my horror, also anything post-apocalyptic, like The Road, and World War Z, or dystopian like The Handmaid’s Tale. Time travel is also a favorite, like Blake Crouch’s Dark Matter.
3.) What is your favorite horror novel?
My likes change over time, and I think that’s good. For now, I’ll say that my favorite horror novel is The Road by Cormac McCarthy.
4.) What is your favorite horror TV show?
Dark is an excellent series. I love anything with time travel and puzzling events out.
5.) What is your favorite horror movie?
Right now, the new trailer for the next A Quiet Place movie is on my mind. I thought the original one was clever—who knew you could be anxious and enthralled sitting in theater so quiet you regretted the crunch of popcorn between your teeth? I love the new and untried. Anyway, I’m hoping the next one will be good as well.
6.) How did you first become involved with HorrorAddicts.net?
I’d released my dystopian novel Fractured Horizon and started a podcast interview show that allowed me to meet new writers. From there, I joined a Wicked Women Writers group and won their first writing contest. Since then, I’ve been on the blog many times, usually reading excerpts or a short story, but sometimes also as cohost or judge.
7.) What is your most favorite memory of the HorrorAddicts.net Blog? (i.e. favorite blog post written by you or someone else, favorite funny memory, etc.)
The season I assisted with the Next Great Horror Writer Contest was a lot of fun for me. I was supposed to be temporary, but each week I was called back to review and make observations on these amazing writers. It was a privilege to see what they came up with each week—the problem was in finding anything critical to say.
8.) What is your favorite part of the blog? (i.e. Book Reviews, Movie Reviews, Interviews, Game Reviews, Free Fiction, Crafting, etc.)
Naturally, I like the fiction.
9.) Why is this part your favorite?
We should always be pushing creativity and celebrating new authors and ideas. Horror Addicts gives writers another avenue for discovery and can open a dialogue with readers. I really enjoy being on the show.
10.) What would you like to see on the HorrorAddicts.net Blog in the future?
I’m certain HorrorAddicts.net will continue to evolve with the times. It’s great to have a place for music, fiction, and news, but I also like it when they change things up. I’m all about the publishing side of things. I didn’t submit to Dark Divinations—just too busy—but I’m inspired by the new anthology call for Haunts & Hellions.

She is the spark that started the Wicked Women Writers.
1.) How old were you when you first became interested in horror?
My earliest memory of reading horror was with my friend Terry Akerly in the 8th grade. My mom didn’t really approve of a girl reading horror at the time, so Terry shared his Stephen King books with me.
2.) What is your favorite kind of horror? (i.e. Classic, Splatterpunk, Slasher, Gothic, etc.)
Reading is like everything else; one’s tastes change as we get older. While I gravitate towards Classic and Gothic, I’m open to reading just about anything that has a new spin on it; be it paranormal romance or alien horror.
3.) What is your favorite horror novel?
There is a special place in my heart for Thinner by Stephen King. In college, I was studying to be a lawyer. The main character is a slightly unscrupulous lawyer who gets cursed by a gypsy for his dishonesty while presenting a case against her. The curse is so simple and so elegant. I loved that about the story. King took an everyday occurrence with an average guy and turned it into something that kept me reading well into the night.
4.) What is your favorite horror TV show?
Honestly, I don’t watch enough tv to be able to answer that question.
5.) What is your favorite horror movie?
It probably sounds cheesy, but my favorite horror film (and its tough to choose) would be The Woman in Black. There is so much to love. The main character is young and naive but is a male and a lawyer. (Lawyer theme again. I never realized….ok anyway) So many stories the main character in distress is female. I really enjoy that role reversal. Also, the predator/ghost is female. Also, another trait and role reversal that I enjoy. Add the creepy gothic mansion, a time pressure element of the receding and swelling tide and the primary prey for the predator being children of a village an entire community longs to protect and you have a perfect movie.
6.) How did you first become involved with HorrorAddicts.net?
I wrote a short horror story and a friend of mine encouraged me to send it to HorrorAddicts. That was roughly 2008? I’m guessing. Emz encouraged me to send in more.
7.) What is your most favorite memory of the HorrorAddicts.net Blog? (i.e. favorite blog post written by you or someone else, favorite funny memory, etc.)
HorrorAddicts offered a horror writing contest for just women. The stories that came from that contest were so well written and so well received. I had been writing horror and science fiction for a while, feeling quite alone in Detroit. All the other speculative fiction writers I knew were male. The all women’s writing contest opened a door to other women all over the country who were writing all kinds of horror. Eventually, some of those stories became a book and now we have a writing group for female horror writers. So much good has come from HorrorAddicts.
8.)What is your favorite part of the blog? (i.e. Book Reviews, Movie Reviews, Interviews, Game Reviews, Free Fiction, Crafting, etc.)
Whenever I’m looking for something or someone new to read, I check out the Book Reviews. I also like to read the interviews on my lunch at work.
9.)Why is this part your favorite?
The book reviews are just a handy resource. Sadly, my small, Michigan town outside of Detroit doesn’t have a local bookstore anymore. We have one big chain store but finding someone in there to recommend horror is often like finding a needle in a haystack. HorrorAddicts book reviews and interviews fill that void. I find new and established authors, learn a bit more about them and find new titles to pick up for my next night of reading.
10.)What would you like to see on the HorrorAddicts.net Blog in the future?
There are a lot of people making short horror films. It might be fun to showcase them? A B Horror movie film festival to stream???

1.) How old were you when you first became interested in horror?
I’m not sure I can put a firm date to my intro to horror. Around age six or seven I remember getting the beans scared out of me by a film called Equinox, the experience of which was terrifying and fascinating at the same time. I think it was that film that turned on the horror light in my brain.
2.) What is your favorite kind of horror? (i.e. Classic, Splatterpunk, Slasher, Gothic, etc.)
I’m a fan of the classics, having been raised up on the Golden Age Universal films. But I also came of age during the 80’s Slasher film revolution, so I confess a fondness for that sub-genre as well. Hard to come by a decent Slasher flick in the 21st Century however, so Boris, Bela and the rest of the gang win by default.
3.) What is your favorite horror novel?
I swear by ‘Salem’s Lot, which to this day, I insist is Stephen King’s best novel in terms of pacing and word choice. The first full-length novel I ever read in a single sitting on a memorable summer day and night in 1981.
4.) What is your favorite horror TV show?
Errr, tough question. I was a big fan of the 80’s revival version of Dark Shadows as a kid. But, if push comes to shove as an adult, I’ll take the first season of Ash v. Evil Dead as the best horror TV show of the last 35 years.
5.) What is your favorite horror movie?
Ick! Another toughie… As a kid, nothing was scarier than The Exorcist. I’ll always make time to watch that film when it comes on in revivals. I’m a stupid, wild fanboy for GDT’s Chronos, which is probably Del Toro’s least favorite film, but one I adore.
6.) How did you first become involved with HorrorAddicts.net?
Met Emerian Rich at a convention and was blessed to find a tribe of kindred souls.
7.) What is your most favorite memory of the HorrorAddicts.net Blog? (i.e. favorite blog post written by you or someone else, favorite funny memory, etc.)
My funniest memory about the blog was when a number of authors ended up doing short audio promos between the features. I did mine about fifteen times before sending it in because I never like my recorded voice. When it ran, I still didn’t like my voice, but it was hysterical to hear as I knew how much effort had gone into me saying “You’re Listening to HorrorAddicts.net. Stay Spooky!” You would have thought I was trying to do Hamlet.
8.) What is your favorite part of the blog? (i.e. Book Reviews, Movie Reviews, Interviews, Game Reviews, Free Fiction, Crafting, etc.)
Always been a big fan of the music selections and the spotlight shown on independent and local bands.
9.)Why is this part your favorite?
Always some gems to be found!
10.)What would you like to see on the HorrorAddicts.net Blog in the future?
Sapphire Neal was born in a small town in East Texas. She spent her years traveling to different states with her family before moving to Southern Utah to complete her high school education. While traveling, you could always find her knees propped up on the back of the driver’s seat and nose stuck in a book. It was her love of reading and storytelling that bloomed into her passion for creative writing.
Formerly the HorrorAddicts.net Blog Editor and Author Interviewer, Sapphire currently resides in the DFW metropolitan area. She came up with the idea for the blog. She was the first Blog Editor and worked from 2010-2014.
1.) How old were you when you first became interested in horror?
I was very young, around five or six. My parents are avid readers so I would sit with them and they would read aloud to me. Turns out they were reading Stephen King. I also watched my first horror movie around that age—Hellraiser. They always took the time to explain that it was all fake, it wasn’t real blood, etc. So, I was watching horror movies and Tales from the Crypt mixed in with your typical princess films as a kid.
2.) What is your favorite kind of horror?
I like classic horror for sure, but I’m a sucker for paranormal and psychological horror. The mind can do terrible things to a person whether the cause be of your own creation or something more sinister.
3.) What is your favorite horror novel? The Ruins by Scott Smith—It was the hopelessness of the situation that stuck with me. You stay on the ruins and die OR you step off the ruins and die. I had to set the book down a couple of times when I found myself yelling at the characters on the pages.
4.) What is your favorite horror TV show?
Hannibal. My heart broke when NBC canceled it. I grew up on the original films and I’ve really enjoyed every adaptation of Hannibal Lector, but Hannibal is definitely my favorite. Mads Mikkelsen and Hugh Dancy have a fantastic connection and honestly, anything Bryan Fuller touches is gold.
5.) What is your favorite horror movie?
That’s a tough question. If we are talking more old school (at least for a ‘90s kid), I would probably have to go with Misery. Classic SK. Kathy Bates as Annie was intense. I’m also a big fan of The Conjuring and Insidious franchises. They are fun to watch and see how everything is connected!
6.) How did you first become involved with HorrorAddicts.net?
It all started with me trying to get a birthday gift for a friend. She is a huge fan of Night’s Knights, so I reached out to Emz about getting a signed copy as a gift. Then Emz and I kept talking and finally, she asked if I would be interested in helping out with the blog. The rest, as they say, is history!
7.) What is your most favorite memory of the HorrorAddicts.net Blog?
Pretty much any interaction with the Wicked Women Writers. My interviews with those amazing ladies were fun and inspiring. It was so interesting to learn about them—their love of writing and horror. They are just a great and very encouraging group of ladies.
8.) What is your favorite part of the blog?
The 13 Questions interviews of course! (Laughs.) But seriously, I love Free Fiction Fridays and the anthologies.
9.) Why is this part your favorite?
It’s great to read fresh horror content from various writers. You never know what kind of story you’re gonna lost in this time. It’s also a great way to find your next favorite author.
10.) What would you like to see on the HorrorAddicts.net Blog in the future?
Continue to see it grow and churning out that wonderful horror content we all crave.
