#HorrorWritersChat Q3 - I've always found strange creatures/cryptids at once fascinating and frightening. They feature in my cyberpunk horror shorts 'Neon Nightmares', my sci-fi horror 'In the Heart of the Void' and in my novella 'Apex'. I think my love of horror movies has also inspired me, tbf.

Making it personal. Q3: #HorrorWritersChat - In what ways has your own history (past) impacted or inspired your horror writing? Examples: giving a character your childhood trauma, reimagining an experience with a different ending.

#HorrorWritersChat Q2 - It varies depending on the context of the story. For example, in my contemporary cryptid horror 'Apex', the main character is a stressed out teacher visiting the countryside for a break. In my fantasy novella, 'Kingdom of Blood', the main antagonist has a long history.

Even fictional characters have a past. Q2: #HorrorWritersChat - How much history, how much of a past, do you give your horror characters? Share an example.

Sorry I'm late! #HorrorWritersChat Q1 - I'm Tanweer Dar, and I've written sci-fi, contemporary and fantasy horror. I'm currently writing a fantasy horror. Three historical horror fiction stories I've enjoyed are Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, The VVitch (2016 film) and The Terror by Dan Simmons.
