In this very exciting Eerie Extra, co-hosts Katherine Troyer and Toni Tresca talk with horror writers Christopher O’Halloran, Antony Frost, Carson Winter, and Alex Wolfgang. Their 2021 collaborative collection of novellas—Bloodlines: Four Tales of Familial Fear—reminds us that home is where the heart…that bleeding and broken heart…lies. We sit down with these authors and discuss the things that scare them in real life, the complexity (and simplicity) that is the horror genre, and why the four stories in Bloodlines perfectly complement one another.
 
CHRISTOPHER O‘HALLORAN is a milk-slinging, Canadian actor-turned-author with work published or forthcoming from HellBound Books, Tales to Terrify, and The Dread Machine. Fans of stories about vein-removal and Phoenix-women against the patriarchy can visit COauthor.ca for stories, reviews, and updates on his upcoming novel, Pushing Daisy. Twitter: @burgleinfernal
