Pokhala membala wa Samhain Horror roster ndekha, ndinali ndi mwayi wokwanira kuti ndiwerenge koyamba kwake kosangalatsa pagulu. Mnyamata uyu ali ndi tsogolo labwino mu bizinesi iyi. Ndife Zinyama sizomwe mumachita nthawi zambiri, zombie / werewolf / vampire abwere kudzatitenga tonse mtundu wa nkhani. Imakumba mozama kuposa pamenepo.

(Ndayikanso pamunsi patsamba lino nditatha kuyankhulana)

Ndiyenera kufunsa Brian ndikusankha ubongo wake pazinthu zingapo. Onani:

GR: Bukuli limachitika pogona. Ndimakonda kuthawirako (Mmodzi Wowoloka Nest ndi Mtsikana wa Cuckoo, Osokonezedwa ndi ena mwa zomwe ndimakonda) ndipo ndawerenga zolemba zingapo zomwe ndimakumba zomwe zimachitika m'mayunivesite. M'malo owopsa / osangalatsa, kumbukirani kuwerenga Night Cage wolemba Douglass Clegg (monga Andrew Harper) ndikuwakonda. Ndife Zinyama zandibwezera kumeneko, koma zimanditengera malo omwe sindimayembekezera. Buku lamphamvu kwambiri, komanso chidutswa chodabwitsa koyamba.

Kodi ndinu munthu wamkulu wopulumukira, inunso? Kodi zimakusangalatsani, zimakukokerani kunja, kapena ndinu amodzi?

BK: O, zikomo man. Ndakudziwani pang'ono ngati abale pansi pa chikwangwani cha Samhain, ndipo ndikudziwa kuti mukutanthauza zomwe mumanena. Chifukwa chake zikomo chifukwa cha mawu okoma mtima, ndikuthandizira komwe mwapereka bukuli mpaka pano. Zimatanthauza zambiri.

Mwinanso ndimakhala ndikutetezedwa monga wina aliyense. Zowona, sindikuganiza kuti aliyense ali m'malo ena achitetezo owopsa omwe akhalapo m'mbiri yonse, koma iyi ndi nkhani ina yonse. Chokwanira kungonena kuti ndikamafufuza za bukuli ndidaphunzira kuti zina mwa nkhani zowona zamisala ndizowopsa kuposa zongopeka zanga.

Koma, kuti ndiyankhe funso lanu, sindimakopeka ndi malo opulumukira monga momwe ndimakondera misala. Lingaliro loti ubongo wathu ukhoza kutitsutsa ndi lowopsa. Ndi mdani wotsiriza; imadziwa zinsinsi zathu zakuya ndipo ndichinthu chomwe sitingathe kuthawa.

GR: Ndinu ochokera kumwera. Ndikulingalira kuti kuli nyumba zambiri zakale (nyumba zazikulu, minda, malo obisalako, mafakitale etc.) kumusi uko. Kodi pali ena omwe amakusangalatsani? Ngati ndi choncho, ndi chifukwa chiyani?

BK: Kummwera kwawunjikidwa mozungulira. Kuchokera pachikhalidwe choyipa chaukapolo, kupita ku voodoo ku New Orleans, mpaka kukhetsa mwazi munkhondo yapachiweniweni. Pali zokongoletsa zina zakumwera zomwe zitha kukhala zowoneka ngati gehena. Miyendo yopindika pamitengo ikuluikulu yomwe idakutidwa ndi moss ku Spain. Manda akale omwe amatolera nkhungu usiku. Pali zachisoni zomwe zimafotokozedwa kumwera, komanso mzimu wosagonjetseka. Ndi chifukwa chake timasangalala ndi chakudya chotonthoza kwambiri, ndipo timakonda kuyimba nyimbo zosangulutsa.   

Atlanta, komwe ndimakhala, ulidi mzinda watsopano monga udawotchedwa ndi General Sherman munkhondo yapachiweniweni. Chifukwa chake palibe nyumba zambiri zodziwika bwino kapena zodziwika bwino. Osachepera zomwe ndimadziwa. Pakhala pali zovuta zambiri komanso zopweteka apa, komabe. Chifukwa chake ngati mizukwa ilipo, ndikutsimikiza tili nawo gawo lathu.

GR: Mukuwoneka ngati anzeru kwambiri, okhazikika kwambiri, koma chomwe mumakonda kwambiri ndichiti?

BK: Bwanawe, ndili ndi zambiri. Ponena za matenda amisala, ndakhala ndikulimbana ndi matenda osokoneza bongo (OCD) moyo wanga wonse. Mtundu womwe umadutsa malire a Tourette. Chifukwa chake ndimangoganizira kwambiri chilichonse. Ngakhale iyi siyingakhale yankho lenileni lomwe mukuyang'ana, Nazi zina mwanjira zodabwitsa zomwe OCD yanga yawonetsera pamoyo wanga wonse.

Ndili mwana ndinkakonda kung'ung'udza mokweza. Hmmm-Hmmm. Basi monga choncho. Nthawi yophunzira, kukwera galimoto. Zinalibe kanthu. Pazifukwa zina, ndimafuna kulira.

Ndinkakonda kubwereza gawo lomaliza la chiganizo chomwe ndimangomva wina akunena. Izi zinali zofala makamaka pakuwonera kanema kapena kanema wawayilesi. Wosewera amatha kunena mzere, ndipo ndimangobwereza m'mawu otsika, amwano. Anzanga amandiyang'ana ndikukhala ngati, "Bwanawe, sukuyenera kubwereza zonse zomwe anena. Ingowonerani pulogalamuyi. ” Ndinkangokhala chete kwa mphindi zochepa, kenako wosewera ankanena monga, "Hei, tiyeni tikatenge pizza." Nditha kuyesa kutseka pakamwa panga, koma zidalibe nazo ntchito. "Tiyeni tipite kukagula pizza," ndimatero.

Ndinkakonda kuphethira maso anga nthawi zonse. Kwenikweni, ndimachitabe izi pang'ono.

Kenako ndinayamba kugundana pachifuwa ndi nkhonya kenako ndikukhudza chibwano. Ndani gehena amadziwa chifukwa chake? Osati ine. Sindimatulutsa kalikonse. Koma ndimazichita.

Zoti ndili ndi anzanga ndizodabwitsa. Zomwe ndili ndi mkazi wokongola komanso wabwino sizimvetsetsa zonse. Tikukhala m'dziko lachilendo, mzanga. Sanapangidwepo ndikukhalamo.

GR: Kusindikiza kwa Samhain kwatulutsidwa Ndife Zinyama. Mukusamala kugawana momwe akumvera mukatsegula imelo yolandila?

BK: Ndidapita ku Portland kuti ndikakwere Ndife Zinyama kwa Don D'Auria pamsonkhano wapadziko lonse wa Horror wa 2014. Monga ambiri m'makampaniwa, ndimalemekeza ntchito yomwe adachita pa Leisure Book horror line, ndipo ndidalumphira mpata kuti ndimupatse iye payekha kuti alingalire ku Samhain. Malowo adayenda bwino ndipo adapempha kuti awone zolembedwazo, zomwe ndidatumiza kwa iwo nditangobwerera kunyumba.

Ndinaganiza kuti ndiyenera kudikirira kwa miyezi ingapo kuti ndiyankhe. Koma adatumiza mgwirizano pakadutsa milungu iwiri. Manja anga anali kunjenjemera ndikadina imelo. Poyamba sindinakhulupirire. Mumakwaniritsa zokanidwa zazifupi kwambiri mumadzimangirira kuti mudzayembekezere zina. Kulandila mwayi wamgwirizano wazolemba zanga zoyambira kuchokera kwa mkonzi amene ndimakonda yemwe ndakhala ndikumusilira kwanthaŵi yayitali kunali kodabwitsa.

Kodi ndimamva bwanji? Ndinadwala. Kwenikweni, ndimamva ngati ndatsala pang'ono kutaya.    

Izi posakhalitsa zidatha. Ndipo ndimadzimva kukhala wamantha komanso wopanda chitetezo, monga momwe ndimakhalira. Zinthu zomwe ndidazichitira nthawi yomweyo kudzera munjira yokhayo yomwe imagwira ntchito kwa ine, pogwira nkhani ina.

GR: Ndi chiyani chomwe mwapeza kuti ndi gawo lovuta kwambiri polemba? Ndiponso, chopindulitsa kwambiri?

BK: Amuna, pali zambiri zokhudza kulemba zomwe zimawavuta. Koma ndichifukwa chake ndimakonda kwambiri. Ndikukumbukira pomwe ndinali kukonzekera kulemba Ndife Zinyama Ndimangoganiza, "Sindingathe kudikirira kuti ndikhale nawo nawo ntchito yolembayi." Ndinaganiza kuti zingakhale zovuta, koma chinali gawo lazokopa.

Kunena zowona, komabe. Ndimaona kuti kulemba tsiku lililonse kumakhala kovuta, ngakhale ndimachita izi. Ndimaona kuti kuthana ndi nkhawa kumakhala kovuta, koma ndimayesetsa. Ndimaona kuti kulemba ndikakhala wokhumudwa kapena wotopa kumakhala kovuta, koma ndimangoyang'ana mpaka zitakhala bwino.

Chovuta ndicho chomwe chimapangitsa kukhala chopindulitsa, ndikuganiza. Chifukwa chake ndimagwira ntchito yolimbana ndi zovuta ndikuzithetsa molimbika, mwa kucheza ndi olemba ena, ndikuyesera kuti ndisatengere chinthu chonsecho poyambirira.

pamene zopindulitsa mwina si mawu oyenera. Zomwe ine kusangalala zambiri polemba ndizomwe zikuyenda. Mkhalidwe wachilendo, wodabwitsayo wokhala pomwe nthawi imayimilira ndikusiya kukhalako mukamakhazikika kumalo olingalira momwe nkhaniyi imapangidwira. Malo omwe samawoneka ngati ongoganiza mukakhala komweko. Ndalumikizidwa pamenepo. Ndiwo heroin wanga. 

GR: Jonathan Moore ndi Mercedes M. Yardley onse adavomereza Ndife Zinyama. Ndiwo mndandanda wabwino kwambiri wa olemba kuti akuthandizireni. Kodi mumakonda kuwerenga kuchokera kwa aliyense wa iwo kuti mulimbikitse?

BK: Ndikudziwa, sichoncho? Kunena zowona, ndaponyedwa. Sikuti olemba atatu onsewa adangotchulapo aluso modabwitsa, ali okoma mtima komanso owolowa manja ngati gehena. Akunja omwe amawona olemba owopsa ngati opembedza asatana ali olakwika kwambiri. (Kodi pali anthu omwe amaganiza choncho? Ndidakhala ngati ndapanga gawo limenelo kuti nditsindike mfundo yanga.)

Komabe, inde ndili ndi zomwe ndimawerenga kuchokera kwa aliyense wa iwo.

 

Jonathan Moore, monga mukudziwa, adatulutsa kuwonekera koyamba kugulu, Pewani, pansi pa chikwangwani cha Samhain, ndipo adalandira chilolezo kuchokera kwa Jack Ketchum, yemwe adaitcha, "Ntchito yomaliza komanso yosangalatsa, yomwe nthawi zina imawoneka ngati yabwino kwambiri ya Michael Crichton." Ndangomaliza kumene posachedwa, ndipo ndiyenera kuvomereza. Ngakhale kuti mwina sindinawerenge buku lomwe likugwirabe ntchito, ndipo ndizodabwitsa kwambiri, ndikulimbikitsa owerenga kuti agwiritse ntchito Tsekani Kufikira uku akudikira Wojambula Poizoni kutuluka mu 2016. Tsekani Kufikira ndichisangalalo chokhwima, chokoka chomwe chimakulowetsani tsambalo. Jonathan Moore ndiye weniweni. Ndimakonda ntchito yake. Ndidzadabwitsidwa ngati kutulutsidwa kwotsatira sikukugulitsa kwambiri.

Moore ndi mlembi wokondoweza pamitu ya Elmore Leonard ndi Dennis LeHane. Ndipo pali Mercedes…

Mercedes M. Yardley ayima payekha pagulu lomwe adadzipanga yekha. Ndi ndakatulo, mokweza, mdima, dzuwa, komanso zowopsa. Kuwerenga ntchito yake kuli ngati kukhala ndi maloto abwino.

Pakadali pano nthabwala ndi makanema ali ndi mgwirizano wabwino. Monga makanema komanso masewera a kanema. Tiyenera kungogwira ntchito molimbika kuti tipeze mwayi womwewo wowerengera zabodza zabodza.

NDIFE ZOIMBA ndi Brian Kirk (Kusindikiza kwa Samhain, 2015)

Unikani ndi Glenn Rolfe

“Tikudwala. Tonsefe tikudwala. Koma titha kuchiritsidwa. Ndipo tikhoza kukhala okoma mtima. Sitiyenera kulola miyoyo yathu kulamuliridwa ndi mithunzi ya zakale. ”

Ndife Zinyama. Ili ndiye buku loyambirira la Brian Kirk. Ponena za ma debuts, awa ndiabwino kwambiri. Kirk ndi wolemba waluso ndipo zikuwonetsa mwatsatanetsatane. Omwe atchulidwa m'bukuli adakumana ndi zoyambira zoyipa zomwe zimawatsogolera, njira ina, kupita ku Asilamu a Maphiri a Sugar Hill. Ena amabwera ngati odwala, ena amagwira ntchito m'malo ena.

Dr.Alex Drexler akuyembekezeka kukhala Chief Medical Director ku Sugar Hill, udindo womwe aphunzitsi ake, a Eli Alpert. Alex wapanga mankhwala osokoneza bongo omwe angachiritse schizophrenia. Ali wokonzeka kufunsa udindo wake watsopano. Amakhala ndi tsogolo labwino, mwanzeru zake, komanso mwa iye yekha. Pambuyo poyeserera koyeserera kwa mankhwalawo, ziyembekezo zake zonse ndi maloto ake, kubetcha kwake konse kozunguliridwa, kumangokhala pangozi yakugwa kwathunthu. Pofunitsitsa kuti asunge zomwe akuganiza kuti ndizoyenera, Alex akuchotsa mankhwala ake atsopano ndikuyesa wodwala yemwe amamukonda, mchimwene wake, Jerry. Zotsatira zake ndizodabwitsa. Jerry akuchira. Kapena ali?

Zomwe Alex apeza ndikuti mankhwala ake atsopanowa atha kuchita zambiri kuposa kuchiritsa malingaliro, atha kungowonjezera.

Kirk amachita ntchito yabwino pakupanga otchulidwa bwino. Mbiri ya Dr. Alpert (yemwe ndimakonda kwambiri m'bukuli) ndiyabwino, mwinanso yopweteketsa mtima, yolembedwa m'mitu yosiyanasiyana. Ngati mumadziwa ndemanga zanga, mukudziwa kuti machaputala a "kuyang'ana kumbuyo" sichimodzi mwazinthu zomwe ndimakonda kupeza mu buku, koma m'manja otha, ndikhoza kutsimikizika kuti ndizitsatira. Kirk imayang'anira ambiri mwa awa molondola komanso mosabisa, makamaka ndi Dr. Alpert. Kuchokera pa zomwe a Alpert adakumana nazo ku Vietnam, kwa wodwala wamkazi yemwe amakhala pachibwenzi pomwe adayamba ntchito yake, kwa mkazi yemwe angamukondane naye kungoyang'ana kuzimiririka, nkhani ya Eli ndiye mtima weniweni wa Ndife Zinyama.

Chenjezo limodzi labwino, pakati popita mu bukuli, gehena yonse imamasulidwa. Pamene kusintha kumeneku kunachitika koyamba, ndinali wosokonezeka kwambiri. Ndinasochera kotheratu. Ndidayesetsa kukulunga mutu wanga mozungulira zomwe zimachitika mwadzidzidzi ku gehena. Gwiritsitsani. Izi ndicholinga. Kirk akufuna kuti ife tigwedezeke, tigwedezeke, ndipo tisaphedwe. Zimatiyika m'bwatolo lomwelo ndi anthu ake. Tikuponyedwa kudziko lamisili ili kuti tidziwe ngati madotolo ali osweka monga odwala kapena ngati china chake choyipa kwambiri, china chake chosangalatsa chikuchitika.

Pomwe kusaka mayankho kudatambalala pang'ono kwa ine, mathero amasewera bwino.

“Koma simuyenera kunyamula nanu. Mutha basi. ”

pamene Ndife Zinyama imapereka mafotokozedwe ambiri oyipa m'malo owopsa, ndipo zimawopseza (makamaka theka lachiwiri la bukuli), ndi mtima ndi tsoka la omwe akutulutsa omwe amakoka ndi kukopa bukuli lowopsa m'malingaliro awo. Brian Kirk akupereka buku labwino komanso lokoma mtima lomwe limatisonyeza kuti zilombo zilipodi. Tonsefe tili ndi mdima mkati, ndi momwe timasankhira kukhala mumdimawo womwe ungakhale kugwa kwathu kapena kutiwombola monga aliyense payekhapayekha.

Ndimapereka Ndife Zinyama Nyenyezi zisanu.
