Psychonaut, the second book, is coming out in March and Black Sun in June. I am editing the fourth book in the series, Ribbons, which we hope to release September 2019. The relaunch of the Starblood series started in December when Vamptasy Publishing re-released Starblood in a new and improved edition.
Carmilla: I have a few new releases and some work in the pipeline.
PH: Being that this is, please feel free to plug your current/next horror project. Carmilla: Best final girl is Nancy from A Nightmare on Elm Street, and favorite villain remains Julia from Hellraiser. PH: Who is your favorite final girl, and favorite female villain? Carmilla: I’d love to get into film making. PH: If you could serve a role in horror that you’ve never done, what would it be? Carmilla: I think we’re changing the face of horror and I hope that will continue for as long as horror remains in the cells of our being. PH: What do you think the future holds for women in horror? Originally we had our place as characters and actresses, but now we’re seeping into all aspects of the genre. PH: How do you think the role of women in horror has changed over the years? Carmilla: Barbie Wilde, punk priestess, Cenobite and horror author. PH: Is there a woman in horror who you consider a role model? I always look forward to February and have discovered many new horror women during the events. No longer are we simply the victims or the final girl. Because horror is still considered a male-dominated genre, as are most genres outside romance, I believe WiHM plays an important role in promoting those women creating and enjoying horror. Congratulations to Hannah and the organizers. PH: What does having a “Women in Horror” month mean to you? I would say that my brand of horror is a mix of visceral violence and dark fantasy. When I started writing I found myself naturally drawn towards dark stories. Carmilla: I ran a Gothic Clothing company from 1999 to 2011 and a lot of the aesthetic we went for was inspired by horror. PH: Was there a specific moment when you realized that you wanted to go from being a fan of horror to a woman who contributes to the genre, or did it just kind of happen naturally? I guess I’ve always loved horror and the supernatural.
Later, as a young teen, Dad and I would watch Hammer Horror on Friday nights. It was then that I fell in love with the George the Ghost stories. Carmilla: When I was four I used to visit the library with my mum. PH: When did you first become a horror fan? Lets see what she said about being a “Woman in Horror”… One of those women, who was kind enough to answer our questions, was author Carmilla Voiez. To celebrate, asked women from different professions if they would like to answer some questions about being a “Woman in Horror,” and more. As you may know, February is “Women in Horror” month.
