No Comments on Exclusive Interview: “Monster Hunter Bloodlines” Author Larry Correia

Like the video games, to which there is no connection, Larry Correia’s Monster Hunter International novels have people, well, hunting monsters…just in a different place, and in different ways, and more for profit than survival. All of which comes up in the newest installment, Monster Hunter Bloodlines (hardcover, paperback, Kindle, audiobook). In the following email interview, Correia discusses both the series and this latest chapter, as well as two other newly released books that have his name on the cover.

In the two decades that I lived in New Jersey, I never once saw the Jersey Devil. I saw a pissy turtle, some easily spooked deer, and a lot of hungry mosquitos, but not once did I ever see the namesake of our state’s hockey team.

But while he may or may not be real, that doesn’t mean he isn’t deserving of the kind of attention we’ve given Big Foot and Nessie.

Which brings me to All The Way House (paperback, Kindle), a new novella about the Jersey’s unofficial state cryptid. In the following email interview, writer Keith R.A. DeCandido discusses this supernatural thriller / urban fantasy mash-up.
