Killer Nashville Claymore Award Finalist

This summer, I was named a finalist for Killer Nashville’s Claymore Award for Best Unpublished Southern Gothic. At Killer Nashville’s Annual Writers’ Conference, I received Runner-Up and spoke at four panels on everything from what qualifies as Southern Gothic to what to expect in the first year of publication. Here’s a rundown of the event!

I have to admit that I really struggled to relate to the main character, Piper, in this novel. She seems spoiled and a little delusional, creating a prison reading list and a website support page. It all seemed a bit ridiculous. She is outraged by th ...more

Quotes by Aimee Hardy  (?)

“That’s why I started writing this story. Those things were just so heavy. It was impossible to carry around all by myself, my real father, Ray’s abuse, your death, so I took them and wrote them down. I edited them and changed the words around, shaping them into something whole. And then I printed them out onto a page, closed the book, and put it on a shelf. And if someone else read my words, then it meant that I wasn’t alone.”
― Aimee Hardy

“Mama always told me that secrets come out after sundown. She said that when the darkness of night crept into the corners of my room oily shadows would unfurl themselves from under my bed, while the crows sleeping in the tree outside my window would flutter to the pane’s sharp edge to tap at the cracks in the casement, and the monster in my closet would sigh, opening its eyes before it scratched at the closet door. I’d only have to be quiet and listen.”
