Out in the real world, we’re in the midst of the Glasgow Worldcon, but here at Eating the Fantastic, it’s still Stokercon. So I invite you to take a seat at the table for my third culinary conversation captured there, following my Korean lunch with Ai Jiang<\/a> and tea and scones with Chuck Tingle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bonnie Jo Stufflebeam<\/a> is the author of the horror novel\u00a0Grim Root<\/em>, which was officially released two days after our chat.\u00a0Her short fiction and poetry have appeared in over 90 publications, such as\u00a0Popular Science<\/em>,\u00a0Lightspeed<\/em>, and\u00a0LeVar Burton Reads<\/em>. Her short story collection\u00a0Where You Linger & Other Stories<\/em>\u00a0and her horror novella\u00a0Glorious Fiends<\/em>\u00a0were both published in 2022.. She\u2019s a two-time finalist for the Nebula Award. By day, she works as a Narrative Designer writing games for a mobile game company.\u00a0<\/p>\n

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

We discussed how her new horror novel toys with the tropes of reality TV, the importance of balancing multiple POVs in a novel to keep them all equally interesting, our differing views on the revision process, the three years she spent writing 1,000 words per day (and why she stopped), the message she took from her two Nebula nominations, the importance of community, what she learned about herself by rereading her short stories to assemble a collection, why we both believe in ambiguous endings, and much more.<\/p>\n
