4 releases this year. A coming-of-age, vicious murder story; a Gothic psychological thriller with an Aztec flavor; a modern take on monsters seeped in Greek mythology; dinosaurs in the Bermuda Triangle. Ages (of characters) for all 4 run from 5 to 85. Horror of the mind to brutal murder to monsters to extinct monsters. Nods to Richard Laymon, VC Andrews, HP Lovecraft. Arkansas to the oceans of The Triangle. Mythology, legends, traditions.
I am so varied with these that it's hard to kind a commonality but for the theme of horror. Fear. Bloodshed. If I had to say I explored any one theme, seriously, in all 4, it would be: relationships.
Anyway, today I am only musing over how I genre-jump within horror. For the next half of the year?
* cannibals and rednecks
* an apoc-style thriller
* a collab with a friend that is part apoc/part cannibal/part far worse
* a Virgil McLendon thriller
* ???
This must be the year I jump all over the place!
