Breaking the Glass Slipper: Interview with Janine Ashbless/Keris McDonald

This week, Charlotte talks to erotica and horror (as Keris McDonald) author Janine Ashbless. No topic is off limits with this wordsmith. They discuss pornography vs erotica, what frightens a horror writer, and pacing stories as a kind of ‘teasing’. If you blush easy, this might be one to save for when you get home.

In September, The Private Life of Elder Things, edited by Adrian Tchaikovsky, Adam Gauntlett and Keris McDonald will be released by Alchemy Press.

You can find Janine online at her personal website or her blog. Support the author by buying her books! Her books can be purchased via Amazon UK | US.

Books and films mentioned in this episode include:

• The Weirdstone of Brisingamen by Alan Gardener
• Thurnley Abbey by Perceval Landon
• Cabin in the Woods (2012)
