It\u2019s time to head to Providence, Rhode Island for the final episode of Eating the Fantastic recorded during this year’s StokerCon, following my Italian lunch with Paul Di Filippo<\/a> and a Portuguese dinner with Victor LaValle<\/a>. <\/p>\n

This episode I wandered off with one of the con’s Guests of Honor, Elizabeth Massie, for lunch at Apsara<\/a>, a restaurant which serves up Cambodian, Thai, Vietnamese, and Chinese cuisine. Massie made her first professional fiction sale 35 years ago, and since then has won two Bram Stoker Awards for the critically acclaimed novels and short stories which followed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We discussed why Bionic Woman<\/em> Lindsay Wagner is the one to thank for her Stoker Award-winning first novel Sineater<\/em>, how reading Robert Bloch’s Psycho<\/em> at a young age was like a knife to her heart, which episode of Twilight Zone<\/em> scared the crap out of her, why you’ll probably never get to read her Millennium<\/em> and Law & Order<\/em> novels, her nearly impossible task of writing one spooky book for each of the 50 states in the U.S, why Kolchak: The Night Stalker<\/em> was her favorite franchise to play in, the great-great grandfather who cut off his own head with a homemade guillotine, which Dark Shadows<\/em> secret was only revealed in her tie-in novel, and much more.<\/p>\n
