Bridge of Storms Interview

    Here's an interview I did with writer Robin CM Duncan recently for the website Gingernuts of Horror , marking the launch of new Mortal Engines adventure Bridge of Storms .  I'm always a bit surprised to think of myself as a horror writer, or even a horror-adjacent one: it's a genre I've always avoided, mainly because I don't like being scared.* But I guess there's a grey area between sci-fi/fantasy and horror, and into that grey area a lot of my stuff falls – Utterly Dark was very gothic, Shrike and his fellow Stalkers and Revenants in the Mortal Engines books are pretty gruesome, and the climax of the new book gets very grand guignol, as Tamzin comes up against the logical end-point of the idea of Stalkers (a notion I toyed with back in the original quartet, but never found a place for until now). Anyway, Robin does a good interview, so please have a listen. And here's a link to Robin's website, with details about his own books. Thanks for havin...
