.LacyMB chats with SGJ72 about DontFearTheReaper, writing the EmpireStrikesBack book of his Indian Lake trilogy, and why horror fiction is so appealing to us all right now.
Paste: The first book [in this series] was entirely about Jade—we’re in her head for the whole thing, even the interlude pieces are her history papers, and it’s fullystory. But one of the things that I enjoyed the most about this sequel is the inclusion of other characters’ voices. Talk to me a little bit about this narrative expansion.had the spotlight, the narrative focused on Jade, 100% of the time, and nothing happened that she wasn’t involved with.
So she’s a big hero, but nobody cares, they still see her as they’ve seen her for so many years, so when she’s coming back after four years in a holding cell, pretty much, her long trial for what happened with her father at the end of, and she’s doing that thing I think a lot of us do in our twenties, where we look back at who we were in high school, and we try to turn our back on that. She’s trying to move past who she used to be.
Paste: I love how your work weaves in indigenous culture and indigenous traditions in a way that I just don’t think you see in most other fiction right now. That feels really important. And I have to admit, I didn’t know about those Dakota hangings in 1862 and after I googled it I was horrified. Can you tell me a bit about what including those sorts of stories means to you?: I know.
Now in 2023, I think the reason we’ve been into slashers the last few years….I think the 24-hour news cycle has greatly contributed to that, and also the election in 2016 that resulted in the news feeding us daily images, hourly images of people doing terrible things at podiums, at rallies, and then walking away unscathed. And what the slasher gives us is the ability to engage for two hours, for six hours, whatever, a world that is brutally fair.
