Women in Horror Month- Interview with Colleen Anderson

Dark poet Colleen Anderson interviewed me on her blog for Women in Horror Month, where she focuses on the poets of the genre.  Here's a snippet:

(From Colleen Anderson's blog)

CA- When did you discover poetry and who/what influenced you?

AD- I discovered poetry when I was very young.  My dad used to write children’s poetry and read it to me and my brother when we were young.  He would come to my elementary school and read to our classrooms and include poems in the school newsletter.  My dad also happened to be a huge horror and fantasy fan, and eventually, when I grew older, he introduced me to Poe’s fiction and poetry   

California Antiquarian Book Fair

Kyle and I went to the 53rd annual California International Antiquarian Book Fair in Pasadena yesterday, not only to check out books but to visit with the awesome Obadiah Baird, editor of The Audient Void and owner of The Book Bin in Portland, OR.  He drove all the way down here to vend at this event and since we missed him last year, we decided to visit.  I also scored The Black Book of Clark Ashton Smith. 

I also met a Lovecraft book collector named Tim.  We had a short but lovely conversation about Lovecraft and Smith and a few acquaintances we share.  It also turns out that he has my book and will be coming to the L. A. Vintage Paperback Festival next month to get it signed.
