Meet Hanna Day, author of\u00a0The Renewal-<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Hanna Day is a writer from Southern California with an interest in history, fantasy and the deep, dark existential horrors of the unknown. When not contemplating the vastness of space or writing, she works as a digital marketer. \u201cThe Renewal\u201d was inspired by the works of H.P Lovecraft. Other publications include contributions to local newspapers and magazines.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Q-\u00a0What genre are you most comfortable writing?<\/p>\n

A- I typically write in the epic fantasy genre, however I\u2019m comfortable switching genres when I need to. In fact, it\u2019s quite fun and challenging switching things up!<\/p>\n

Q-\u00a0Was writing horror hard?<\/p>\n

A- I started seriously writing horror about a year ago, and while I don\u2019t think it was difficult it was challenging. I had to rethink how to write the story and approach the writing from a different angle. Writing horror forced me to think about all of the horror books I\u2019ve read and identify what made it horror. For example, I paid attention to the descriptions I used and focused on strange, bizarre details to help set the scene.<\/p>\n

Q-\u00a0What inspired your idea?<\/p>\n

A- While I was putting my epic fantasy novel through Scribophile, many readers noted that the magic system I created was quite horrifying. At first I thought it was only one reader\u2019s opinion, but then the sentiment echoed throughout many readers. As I was determining what kind of horror short stories I could contribute to anthologies I decided to segment the most horrifying element and condense the worldbuilding to its single, most horrifying element. I wanted to see how heavily I could condense the world to new readers and amplify my unintentional horror.<\/p>\n

Q- What was the hardest part of writing this story?<\/p>\n

A- Condensing an epic fantasy novel\u2019s worth of worldbuilding into a short story new readers can understand.<\/p>\n

Q-\u00a0What scares you?<\/p>\n

A- Monsters don\u2019t scare me. Things that go bump in the night don\u2019t either, or visceral details in horror fiction. What scares me is when a situation is out of your control. When you understand that nothing you can do can help a situation, and there is absolutely nothing you can do.The elements of the story doesn\u2019t have to be supernatural, but something that could happen to you unexpectedly. When you are trying your best to help someone in mortal peril, but fail.<\/p>\n

This is terrifying because it is very real. I\u2019m attracted to the horror genre not only because of the paranormal element, but because I feel that all horror fiction I\u2019ve read has never quite caught that existential hopelessness, and because it\u2019s a feeling I\u2019ve never quite been able to capture in words.<\/p>\n

Q-\u00a0Why do people like to be scared?<\/p>\n

A- Having been to many annual Halloween-themed haunts, watched a lot of horror movies and read many horror books, I think I\u2019ve begun to understand why people like to be scared. There\u2019s an adrenaline rush that comes with being scared. It\u2019s similar to the kind of adrenaline rush you get when you\u2019re doing something dangerous. It\u2019s a thrill, and even though you know you will be scared it\u2019s that rush that gets you.<\/p>\n

Q- Favorite horror book or movie?<\/p>\n

A- I have several favorite books and movies, so it\u2019s hard to pick just one! I enjoy anything that isn\u2019t hardcore slasher or super gory, like the later Saw movies (though I thought the first one was excellent).<\/p>\n

My go-to favorite horror novel is Misery<\/i> by Stephen King, and the movie adaptation is also excellent!<\/p>\n

Q-\u00a0What is one stereotype about horror writers is absolutely wrong? What\u00a0stereotype is right?<\/p>\n

A- Perhaps the stereotype that a lot of horror writers must be weird people! Yes, there are a lot of weird people who like or write in the genre, but what I find hilarious is how many of the craziest horror I\u2019ve read are written by people who seem least likely to like horror!<\/p>\n

Q-\u00a0What horror archetypes do you like? Which do you hate?<\/p>\n

A- My favorite kind of horror is psychological horror, such as Stephen King\u2019s Misery <\/i>and Psycho. <\/i>Monsters are all good and fun, but at the end of the day what\u2019s really terrifying is something that could happen. You know that the monsters aren\u2019t real, but there are people who are monsters.<\/p>\n

The power of the horror usually comes from great characters and powerful, overwhelming antagonists. Plots commonly revolve around the relationship between the protagonist and antagonist, and have simple plotlines (most centering around the protagonist\u2019s desire to escape).<\/p>\n

Q-\u00a0How would you survive a horror story?<\/p>\n

A- I\u2019ve always said that if the zombie apocalypse ever happened I would go away from civilization and ride out the apocalypse in a cabin in the woods (though that too sounds like a horror story!). But it\u2019s hard to say how I would survive a horror story, as there are so many different kinds of horror situations I wouldn\u2019t be able to survive (could I escape Annie Wilkes? Probably not).<\/p>\n
