SCN interviews horror author Jeff Strand
Author Jeff Strand has been busy. His book Dweller (Leisure Books) just came out in April of this year and he has another (Wolf Hunt, Dark Regions Press) that is coming soon as a limited edition hardcover. (Editor’s note: If you order the deluxe edition, you also get a neat wolfman sculpture created by Frank Walls.) Add to this the fact that he also gets to emcee the 2011 Bram Stoker awards (highly-coveted horror writing awards) in New York and you’ve got a schedule that likely makes it hard to sleep at night sometimes.
