Spooks, Specters & Spirits Event - Interview With Amber Hassler

1) Tell us about your book.
My story dives into a dystopian world where what we once knew as everyday human beings have now become the creatures of the night, when survival becomes a necessity, not a choice. And where the divide between the rich and the poor becomes a sacrifice for everyone’s well-being.

2) What themes does your book explore?
The themes I created hinge on real-world issues: disparity between the rich and the poor, and what it can do to a society in need, ultimately, what life could become if these issues continue to go unchecked. With this story, I exposed one of the many possibilities of what this kind of narrative would do if the assassination of our democracy were to succeed.

3) Tell us something unusual about your main character?
As a child, she had the ability to remain stoic. In adulthood, it became her superpower to break the cycle—a resilient and driven woman who found her voice through an unexpected situation.

4) Do you believe in ghosts?
I do believe in ghosts! I have never had any personal encounters, but I have heard stories and seen enough videos to make me question their existence.

5) What is next for you?
I have a new story, titled Porcelain, a novelette with the flair of the tooth fairy legend coming out this fall! I also have a couple of other works I’m ironing out the kinks with. So, make sure to keep an eye out for them!

Hello! I’m Amber Hassler, known as the Twister of Mystery. With the customary cliché, I write. Nothing is more satisfying than creating a whole world or a set of characters in my mind and sharing it with everyone to read. I have also added ghostwriting, book consulting, and professional editing to my resume. I write for First Comics News, a pop culture nerd website with over two million readers a month, under Twisted News, and run the Horror Writers Association Las Vegas Chapter in my free time.
