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).

So, here’s a look at the best novels, short story collections, and other books I read in 2017.

Exclusive Interview: A Song For Quiet Author Cassandra Khaw

It’s something I was reminded of while editing the following interview with writer Cassandra Khaw, whose new novella, A Song For Quiet (paperback, digital) — the second book in her Persons Non Grata series after last year’s Hammers On Bone — tells the tale of a blues saxophonist who realizes his music doesn’t just cause people to get up and boogie.
