Herika Raymer: Creepy, Hold the Gore

 

Herika Raymer is a bookwright who wants to do each story right! She grew up consuming books – first eating them and later reading them. Reading was better, but writing was fun! A writer of mixed genre – science-fiction, thriller, horror, fantasy (dark and/or rural), and even some humor (yes it can be dark) – her style leans towards thriller/horror. No gore, she explores either monster-based or psychological horror. No explicit sex, she claims such scenes make her blush. Still, her characters are passionate and engaging enough to win short story competitions/awards. Intrigued? 

Tell us a bit about your latest work.

My latest published work is CHICKEN PULP, available from Hireath Publishing. It was inspired by a dinner I heard about. A bunch of authors, tired after a convention, ate together and discussed possible upcoming projects. The night wore on, spirits were improved by consumption of alcohol, and… well… ideas got weird.

One idea was of a horror anthology, and the draw was the main ingredient was chickens.

Yup, chickens.

Readers are treated to my imagining what the dinner must have been like in the opening scene.

Still, it got me thinking. I did a bit of research, found some interesting facts and tidbits about chickens, and viola – CHICKEN PULP emerged.
