A. R. Braun is the author of the horror novella, 66SICK, and the horror novels, Dogman of Illinois, Heaven's Witches, Autonomy, The Not, and Only Women in Hell, as well as the short-story collections Phantom World, Insanity, and Horrorbook. He became interested in horror when he read “The Telltale Heart” as an assignment in high school. By the time he was eighteen, he had the whole Stephen King collection and started writing short stories for friends and family. His main goal was to put together a heavy metal band, and he spent many years working blue collar jobs and seeking out musicians, but never fell in with the right kind of guys.

He has numerous publication credits, including “NREM Sleep” in the D.O.A. anthology; “Freaks” in Downstate

Who’s Gonna Pay More Than $10? Me!

Certain self-publishers–who I’m not putting down, as I am one, and am a fan of some self-pubbed writers–have been saying no one’s going to pay more than $9.99 for a book. I suppose they’re doing this to accentuate how much of a deal they’re offering for their novels. I mean, that’s crazy, right? Who’s going to pay that much for a book?


 


Me!

Glad to see Stephen King’s still got it. It’s a gory piece about an old couple who eats people to chase away their maladies. I’ve always thought Holly stole the show, but especially in The Outsider. We’ll see how long the King can keep it up.

This book didn’t blow me away, but didn’t bore me, either. Plenty of action. I liked how it’s a period piece in the roaring twenties.

“I'm supposed to feel like it’s such a great apartment, but I don’t. It’s the right price, there are no bugs and it’s got a great view, but it’s the lair of Satan...”
A.R. Braun, Horrorbook: twenty-two tales of terror

“I’m supposed to feel like it’s such a great apartment, but I don’t. It’s the right price, there are no bugs and it’s got a great view, but it’s the lair of Satan...--Nil Caveat”
A.R. Braun, Horrorbook: twenty-two tales of terror

“Amanda choked on a sob. She looked like she didn’t know what to do. For the first time, Stacey realized this woman was a human being, and sometimes she felt lost.”
A.R. Braun, Only Women in Hell

“Read a lot, write a lot is the great commandment.”
Stephen King

“If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that.”
Stephen King

“When his life was ruined, his family killed, his farm destroyed, Job knelt down on the ground and yelled up to the heavens, "Why god? Why me?" and the thundering voice of God answered, There's just something about you that pisses me off.”
Stephen King, Storm of the Century

“Both Rowling and Meyer, they’re speaking directly to young people. … The real difference is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephenie Meyer can’t write worth a darn. She’s not very good.”
Stephen King

“If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot.”
Stephen King
