A lot can be said about secretive, controlling men — none of it good. Well, one of it good: it can inspire authors to write something interesting. Which brings me to writer Caitlin Starling and her new Gothic horror tale about a secretive, controlling man: The Death Of Jane Lawrence (hardcover, Kindle, audiobook). In the following email interview, Starling discusses what inspired and influenced this scary story. But don’t worry, it’s not bad.

Exclusive Interview: “Vampire: The Masquerade: Walk Among Us” Authors Genevieve Gornichec, Cassandra Khaw, And Caitlin Starling

 

Since its initial release in 1991, the tabletop role-playing game Vampire: The Masquerade has expanded to encompass video games, collectible card games, even a short-lived TV series, Kindred: The Embraced. But their latest expansion is a literary one. In Vampire: The Masquerade: Walk Among Us (paperback, Kindle, audiobook) writers Genevieve Gornichec, Cassandra Khaw, and Caitlin Starling each put their own unique spin on the game’s Gothic horror world. Though as they explain in the following email interview, you don’t need to be a Vampire: The Masquerade player to enjoy them (or have written them, as the case may be).
