Welcome to the Wasteland, where the line between fiction and reality blurs. No Safewords in the Wasteland, a new anthology from Obsidian Skull Press, brings together five authors whose stories take readers into some deeply uncomfortable territory.
Over this interview series, I’ll be letting you inside the minds of the five authors who made this book possible—digging into their inspirations, their fears, and what drives the stories they tell. First up is TL Hutton, who has plenty to say about the monsters we invent and the ones already living among us.
The Mind Behind the Horror
Characters, Belief, and Broken Realities
When Reality Becomes the Horror
The Wasteland Doesn’t End Here...
Thank you to TL Hutton for letting me dig around inside his head—and to you for coming along. His answers give us plenty to think about, especially when the horror on the page starts looking familiar. Next, I’ll be stepping inside another of the five minds behind No Safewords in the Wasteland. Until next time, sit with this: which is more unsettling—the monsters TL invents, or the ones you recognize?
