Great question!

I've always been fascinated with horror in one way or another: When I was a kid and vhs stores were still a thing I'd go and sneak into the horror section just to look at all the video covers. When I started writing my own fiction in high school and university I gravitated towards fantasy and sci-fi short stories with horror elements.

I only got really, truly into horror in my late twenties. In a period where I was struggling with undiagnosed autism and the last throes of an abusive intimate relationship, the horror genre became a sanctuary for me, and my writing took the turn from horror adjaced to full on horror.

It was a difficult experience, but in the end it kind of feels like horror was, one way or another, going to be the inevitable genre I would write in, and I'm very happy to be here writing it!(less)

a broken vase, envenomed by Bert S. Lechner
"It is a raw and honest journey through the darkness in humanity that preys. As a survivor of DV myself, it was a relatable and emotional read.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily."
Curbside Curses by Nadine  Stewart
"Nadine Stewart's Curbside Curses is a compelling anthology of short horror stories. Each weaves together diverse characters and plots with a common thread: the eerie and unsettling consequences of items purchased from yard sales. This recurring motif" Read more of this review »

Bert Lechner answered Goodreads's question: Bert S. Lechner
I'll generally try to jump to a different project and make a little headway there while I'm struggling.

More often, though, I'll end up tabling the writing for the time being and go do something different to clear my head a bit.
