Fright Night Horror

Charles Day is a talented fiction writer from New York State. His writing is diverse because it includes both YA and adult fiction as well as novels and published short stories. It was great to interview him about his books, his day job and his love of Stephen King and King's son Joe Hill. How did you get involved with writing? Do you prefer short stories or novels in terms of telling a story? A few years back I began writing my first novel, “Deep Within,” while working on a secured psych unit doing evening and overnight shifts. After I finished it and started sending it around, all I received was rejection after rejection, so I placed it back in my drawer.

William R. Potter is a writer of thrillers and horror fiction from British Columbia. He is an accomplished independent author. He enjoys creating characters with great depth that are true to real life. His books emphasize suspense and terror rather than mere gore. The Fright Factory is his latest thriller. It's a great tale of sheer horror and it's getting some serious attention. When did you write your first novel? I wrote my first novel over sixteen months in 2007-2008. How many books have you written? I’ve written eight and have published six. How many hours a day do you write? Hmm, I’m not sure. I don’t keep track of the hours. When I’m going full bore on a book I try to write 5,000 words a week. You feature a serial killer who murders people with a scythe in The Fright Factory. What serial killers in other books have inspired your villain? I didn’t realize it as I was writing TFF, however I’m sure movie villains like Michael Myers had more to do with me inven...
