Given what’s going on with the world, you might think this would be a bad time to offer sanctuary to a stranger, even if they have a child with them.
But that’s exactly what Charlie does in Christopher Golden’s new folk horror thriller novel The Night Birds (hardcover, Kindle, audiobook).
And yeah, it ends up being a bad time. It’s a horror novel; not a warm and fuzzy novel.
In the following email interview, Golden discusses what inspired and influenced this horror story.
As someone who was a little kid in the ’70s, and not the ’00s or the ’20s, some of my fondest Halloween memories are going out for hours, and unsupervised.
That is, until I saw the movie Halloween; since then, my fondest Halloween memories are me hiding under my bed.
I suspect the same may have also happened if I had read Christopher Golden’s horror / suburban drama novel All Hallows…which would’ve been a neat trick given how it originally came out in 2023.
With All Hallows newly available in paperback (and still available in hardcover, Kindle, and audiobook), I crawled out from under my bed long enough to send Mr. Golden some questions about what inspired and influenced this scary story.
In many haunted house stories, characters who get a good look at the house in question are often surprised it’s haunted…but really? I mean, it’s dark and foreboding and covered in spider webs, what do you expect?
But in the following email interview with author Christopher Golden about his haunted house novel The House Of Last Resort (paperback, hardcover, Kindle), he makes it sound as if it takes place in a very nice house, one that couldn’t possibly he haunted…or have spiders.
