Okay, probably time to wrap this up. I loved the answers – especially the unexpected poetry!
I liked Thoraiya’s a lot – “Horror wants you made insomniac by fright while dark fantasy wants you spellbound in delight.” Jonathan made me laugh (but it is two sentences!) – “Dark fantasy is Frodo in a ‘Cradle of Filth’ t-shirt. Horror is Frodo back from the dead and out to eat Sam’s flesh.” Of course, you could cheat and replace the full stop with a semi-colon.
But I think I’m going to have to go with Mary for the winner: “Horror keeps me awake at night with the possibility of a torturous death, while Dark Fantasy awakens my mind to new possibilities.” All of them are worthy, it was hard to choose.
The paperback copy of RealmShift goes to Mary. But how about an ebook edition of RealmShift for all the other entrants?
Send me an email to alan[at]alanbaxteronline[dot]com with your preferred format and I’ll email you a copy.
Mary – email me a postal address and you’ll get a paperback. Thanks for joining in, everyone – I’m glad you liked the interview. And thanks to Rowena for hosting me here.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
LOL, you’re welcome, Mary. Very generous of Alan.
Hehe, congratulations, Mary!
Alan, you are too kind, but I have no dedicated e-reader and there’s no way I can read a whole novel on my computer. But I really, really enjoyed your story in “Anywhere but Earth,” and you can rest assured that RealmShift is now number 93 on my “books to buy” list 😀
