Horror Author Russell James Talks About His New Novel DEMON DAGGER, Evil Theme Park Mascots, and Places That Give Him The Creeps

Image
Heath : Thanks so much for taking some time out of your writing schedule to talk about your work! To say that you're prolific feels like an understatement; you've published over 20 novels and consistently release multiple books within a year. Your latest novel, Demon Dagger --a supernatural thriller in which the predator becomes the prey--is your third release of 2022. Also, while you frequently work in the horror genre, you also write adventure tales featuring paleontologist Grant Coleman and park ranger Kathy West. Where do you draw inspiration for your stories, which all seem to draw upon monsters, demons, the supernatural, and science gone wrong? Russell James : Every story has a different spark that lights its fire. It frequently comes from something I've experienced or an article I've read.
