My guest in this episode is Bronte Rowan, co-chair of the HWA-UK Chapter and a literature graduate. We discuss a subject that has both intrigued and eluded me—poetry!
We also delve into feminism, and the roles of Judaeo-Christian and pagan religions in horror.
The Host:
Newton Webb is a British horror author with fourteen published books. His collected works, Tales of the Macabre Volumes 1–3, contain tales of temptation, dread, and the hidden evils lurking beneath everyday life.
Inspired by splatterpunk and classic gothic themes, his fiction frequently blends visceral horror with psychological tension, reflecting influences ranging from heavy metal to ancient mythology.
Outside his writing career, Newton co-chairs the UK Chapter of the Horror Writers Association.
The Guest:
Bronte Rowan is an aspiring author who is working on finishing his projects while also already diving into a few new ones. He is particularly interested in reading, researching, and writing Gothic texts about oftentimes silenced voices and how individuality is perceived as grotesquely dangerous in those texts.
His muses are country and folk musicians, for a nice murder ballad always puts him in the mood for writing. Add in a few cups of tea and a purring cat while outside, storms are brewing, and you just described Bronte's perfect day.
Bronte Rowan is also the co-chair of the Horror Writer Association's UK Chapter.
