Lee Franklin Q & A

1) Why write horror?

I grew up on 80s horror and action movies. I was a massive consumer of all genres growing up yet never started reading horror specifically until after I started writing it. 

I love being in control. Im not a confrontational person at all. In fact I flinch if a person raises their voice. So horror, or the writing of is a place where I can control the pain and terror. I write out injustices that I otherwise feel helpless against. 

2) Tell us about your writing style - is it gore, psychological etc?

I guess I write high action, splatter. I enjoy my monsters, even the human ones. 

3) Who is your favorite woman in horror author?

I've Ania Alborn's "Brother" which I really enjoyed. At the moment I am consuming England's "Baba Lenka". But for splatter, it always comes down between D.J Doyle or Sam West.

4) Who is your favorite scream queen?

I just watched American Mary and I just loved everything about her character. Otherwise it would be Ripley. 

5) What's next for you?

2021 is the year of sequels. I have promised myself to finish and publish the sequel to my novel Berserker-Green Hell. It has been far more research intensive then the first novel, but I am starting to enjoy it. 
I was really pleased with how my Goddess revenge novelette Nang Tani has been recieved.  I never intended too but I know have a sequel plotted out for that aswell. Then, only then will I look at the 50 bazillion other projects I have in mind.
