We sat down with Brian McAuley to talk about his darkly funny Hollywood horror novel, CURSE OF THE REAPER โ a chilling, meta twist on the slasher genre where the line between method and madness starts to blur. ๐ฌ๐ฉธ
In our interview, Brian shares how his lifelong love of horror, from GOOSEBUMPS to SCREAM, shaped his storytelling style and balance of fear, humor, and commentary. He dives into the creation of Howard Browning, a washed-up actor haunted by the very villain that made him famous, and reflects on how his years working in Hollywood inspired the novelโs themes of desperation, identity, and artistic integrity.
