Exclusive Interview: “Even In The Grave” Editors James Chambers & Carol Gyzander

 

One of the many downsides of the current Covid-19 pandemic is how it kept us apart from the people we love. But it was a disconnect some people countered in different ways: playing online games together, Zoom-based book clubs, and — in the case of writers and editors James Chambers, Carol Gyzander, and their friends who are writers — putting together Even In The Grave (paperback, Kindle), an anthology of ghost stories. In the following email interview, Chambers and Gyzander discuss the depth and breadth of this collection, as well as how it came together.

Exclusive Interview: Corpse Fauna: The Dead Bear Witness Author James Chambers

 

When James Chambers wrote the zombie novella The Dead Bear Witness in the late-’90s, stories about the undead were as uncommon as, well, survivors in a George Romero movie. There was only one Resident Evil game, and no movies; there was no Walking Dead, in print or on TV; and not much else when it came to the “living impaired.” My how times have changed. In the following email interview, Chambers talks about Corpse Fauna: Volume 1: The Dead Bear Witness (paperback), a collection of his narratively connected novellas and short stories that’s not only being reprinted, but is the first of four related volumes that will ultimately put this zombie saga deep in the ground.
